APPLE PRICES ABOUT
SAME AS LAST YEAR
Hood River Growers Will Sell
Their Entire Crop to the
Highest Bidder.

The following interview in the Port
\ land Journal, given by o. L. Wander.
\ jilt, leading fruit raiser of Hood
River, contains much information that
I is of value to the membership of the
Grants Pass Fruit Growers Associa-
tion:
From offers already received the
impression prevails at Hood River
that prices for Oregon apples this
year will be about the same as last
year, when the highest prices ever
known were paid and the entire Hood
River crop was shipped to Eastern and
European markets. The crop in the
valley this year is variously estimated
from 100. 900 to 13O, 200 boxes. nearly
double the amount of last years crop.
Already Eastern and European buy
ers have visited the valley. The Ap-
plegrowers Association has not made
any contracts and has fixed upon Au-
gust 20 as the date when the crop will
be sold to the highest bidder. Sealed
bids will be received by the cashier Of
the First National bank Of Hood River
and opened by the banks directors.
"The association represents 30 per
cent Of the apple growers Of the valley
and Numbers about 1873 men. No
grower is allowed. under the rigidly
enforced rules. to pack his own apples.
This work is done by experts EN-.
loyed by the association. A crew con-
sists of four packers and an inspector.
Every apple is inspected before being
placed in the box. An association
wrapper and box label has been copy
righted and is used exclusively by the
organization for protection of buyers
and consumers from apples that are
grown elsewhere and labeled Hood
River apples.
''This year for the first time the
Hood River Valley grower has sold
bis Gravensteins. Kings and Wealthies,
early varieties, to the European mar
ket. OF these there will be seven car
loads from this valley. Two cars are
from Beulahland, the largest apple
ranch in the valley. Oscar Vanderbilt,
owner of Beulahland, who was in
Portland today, said:
Conditions in the valley at pres
ent are almost perfect for the apple
business. The three early varieties
now sold to Europe will be picked and
shipped in about three weeks. Pick
ing Of other varieties will begin in
October. This year is the third in
which the association has followed the
plan of selling the Hood River apple
crop to the highest bidder. 1t has
worked successfully and this year the
growers will realize the benefits of
both large crop and good price.
"Mr. Vanderbilt said the increased
acreage planted this year is not large,
but number of good sales have been
made. Some of these are at prices
that people might regard as fancy.
But when compared with prices and
earning capacity of Colorado orchards
and elsewhere, Food River prices are
still conservative. Colorado apple or.
chards bring from $1,000 to S. % pei
acre, while the Hood River prices dc
not range at half those figures, al,

River Valley is one of the banner dis
triots of Oregon for growing high class
fruit it is the plan of the Grants Pass
Fruit Growers Union to have COM
plete exhibit at the meeting Of all
fruits that are in season in September.
Even those not yet ripe are wanted as
they will show the fruit men quite as
we'll as ripe fruit their condition.
AS many farmers do not know how
to recognize even SO general pest as
the San Jose scale it is desired that or.
chardists bring in specimens of every
kind of diseased trees, fruit vegetables,
plants, etc., that they can find. These
pests will be identified by Prof. Cord
ley. entomologist at the State Agrul-
tural College, who will be present and
tell the farmers how to recognize the
pests and how to successfully fight
them. Thousands Of boxes of fine ap-
Piles and pears are annually lost in this
county because the farmers do not know
how to keep the pests of their trees.
At these fruit growers meetings or
chardists will get more practical knowl-
edge and how to combat the pests than
could be learned in six months spent
il. .reading on the subject. 1t will pay
every farmer who has even dozen
fruit trees to attend this meeting and
learn how to grow fruit that will
bring profitable price in the market
instead Of being only fit for hog feed.

Plea For Good Roads.

The "good-roads' idea has come
to the front for popular discussion
very emphatically lately and is the
subject of much favorable comment
in the editorial columns of the
daily press. 1 am glad to note
that The Republic, that is always
early in its advocacy of new move
ments tending to the ultimate i'm
provement or progress, or better
ing of the human race, has taken
up an aggressive cudgel in the
battle for good roads. Good roads
mean increased population and
business to the citizen, and new
Improvements and increased tax
able wealth to the State.
But my intention in this COM
munication was not to set forth
my own views, but to speak for
the dead by quotation. wish to
add, by revival, to the literature of
the subject powerful paragraph
from the now silent pen of our
former bright and talented towns
woman, Kate Field.
l clipped it some twenty Yeas
ago from the pages of her national
weekly, Kate Fields Washington,
and herewith transcribe it in all its
masculine virility and inpetuosity,
suggesting its further usage to the
advocates of good roads:
Why these raving lunatics and
dwelling idiots? Because bad
roads prevented them from forming
companioship when young; because
bad roads prevented them from
going to good schools when young;
because bad roads kept them away
from civilizing entertainment and
instruction; because bad roads i'm
prisoned them half a year, and
made church and newspaper we'll
nigh impossible; because bad roads
prevented them from learning how
to cook and what to eat. st.

His Story Was True.

Here a cup I got in Morocco, "
said the enthusiastic tourist, show
ing his collection of souvenirs.
You see it is an Arabic inscrip-
ton.
His friend was turning the cup
curiously around. at length he
remarked:
Yes, the inscription is Arabic
all right. "
Sure, replied the returned
tourist, a little miffed at the init
nation of a possible doubt.
You can read it better if you
turn the cup upside down" sug-
gested the friend; and, suiting his
action to the word, he showed the
tourist that the mysterious charac-
tiers were nothing more than
1908" roughly engraved in ire
gular figures on the metal.
The rascal!' exclaimed the
outraged collector, he told me
that was an Arabic inscription
when he sold it to me. J"
He told you nothing but the
truth was the reply. You
forget that our numerals are
Arabic" = New Orleans Times
