do they serve better apples at the hotels
in this state than they do at Portland2
What do they serve at the leading Hood
River hotels during thestrawberry pick.

his last question.
"Prunes are what they serve in the
best apple growing section OF the country.
When not serving prunes, what do they

can find. This talk about the growers
there not wanting to send that sort of
apples here makes me tired. Give Us
