Big Demand for Apples
Grown in This State.

owners OF good apples could COM
mand their own price for them
this winter. Proceeding, he said
there never was a time when apples
were in such demand. For several
days past he had received orders
for from one to four and five cars
a day and he had been unable to
fill but few of them.
To-day Idaho apples are selling
in Montana for SITS and 50 box
as against Sl.25 for Utah apples"
he said. "In Portland Idaho apples
are selling for 1926 box. That
has never before been open
to Idaho fruit growers to any ex-
tent. This year Portland can not
get enough Idaho fruit, the demand
for our prunes and apples being
very active.
"As matter of fact there are
very few good apples left. They
have been sold long ago, leaving
the local market very short. 1t
would not surprise me to see COM
mon apples go at fancy prices here
this winter. The best varieties sell
at present for $3.50 a box. This
year Idaho has had the advantage
of short fruit crops elsewhere, but
the demand would have been very
good anyway, for the superiority of
the Idaho prune and the Idaho ap-
pie is very generally recognized"
