The 1903 APPLE Crop,
Western Fruit Grower.

NCsttEh EIult GFOWeF.
There is much comment in all the
farm papers over the estimates of the
apple crop of 1903 which were submit.
ted by the Apple Shippers association.
1t will he remembered that last month
the Fruit-GrOwer published the esti-
mates for number Of the states. Well,
it appears now that number of these
estimates AS submitted by the Shippers
association, were nn the basis of COM
pairing the crop of 1908 with last years
crop, aud that cOnfuses matters. Who
knows what last years crop was, for
the different states?
Upon this basis, let Us see what Mis-
snuri's crop will be. The state had
perhaps 40 per cent Of a cIop last year
This year the Apple shippers assocla-
ton estimates the crop at 50 per cent
OF last years crop, or ~ per cent of a
full crop. Aud that is about right.
But think how misleading the esti-
mates are. There are the states which
are estimated to have $50 per cent of
last years crop, for Instance. As a
matter Of fact, these states had but
very few apples last year, so that the
estimate for 1908 might as well have
been made 1000 per eent-or even
more.
On the basis Of last years crops, il is
found there are few of the apple-prO-
ducing states which have more fruit
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-10-08

than year ago, and great many of
them have great deal less fruit than
in 1902
Where, then. comes the 100000 in
crease over last years crop? We confess
our inability to figure it out.
The government estimate is not for
50 large a crop by far as the esti-
mate of the Apple Shippers associa-
lion would lead us to expect. And the
estimates Of the growers are more near
" in accord with the latter estimate.
The Fruit Grower has received many
,etteTs of thanks from its readers for call
ing attention to the estimates which
have been made as to the size of the
apple crop. The commission papers all
give the greatest publicity to the
statements of the buyers, and their
press agent is working overtime,s so that
il is needed that the farm papers pre-
cent the other side Of the case.
An Indiana reader writes: 81 note
that the apple buyers claim Indiana
has a so I-er cent crop. have been in
all the localities which have apples and
there will not be 15 per cent of a crop of
merchantable fruit and Ohio is no
better"
Other growers write along the same
line.
The Fruit Grower does not under
take to say what apples should be worth
this fall-nothing is farther from our
purpose. We simply wish to present
the facts as they appear to us, from
government reports and from other
sources, and growers can then use their
own Judgment. 1t does seem TO us,
however, that the Apple Shippers asso-
Il; ton is either deceiving its members
ol trying to deceive the growers, either
Intentionally or unwittingly. The
ruit-Grower wishes to ascertain all
be facts possible, and then present
them for the benefit of its readers, The
growers Of apples
Al ample buyer recently told us that
all the apple handlers nilfbuy carefully
this year, on account of their losses Of
n year age. This is to be expected and
the growers cannot object to their do
ing So. But at the same time it will
not be well to allow the pendulum to
swing too far to the other side, and the
growers bold the sack this year.
The situation this year has again EN-
phasized The fact that it pays 10 pro-
duce fancy fruit and to pack it in neat
packages The Packer quotes an ap-
pile buyer i'm Oregon as saying: 1.-THE
competition for fruit out through this
country is sharp. Chicago and New
York men are chasing the country
over, ard growers have got their ideas
up so that you cannot buy apples at
any price At this place Hood River)
they will not set price. Growers
could get $3.50 per hox, but will not
sell for that"
Don't think from this that because a
bushel box of apples will sell for $3.50,
a barrel ought to be worth $4 80. These
Oregon apples are strictly fancy and
are packed in the best possible manner.
Thisis the point we would make: The
size of the crop has little effect on the
price of this very fancy fruit--it is al
WAYS high.

to those interested in educational work.
