the market. Probably they have got
into that system by having to get them
ready to catch the train for Seattle or
Spokane in the morning, but to do that
for the eastern market is a great mis-
take. Fruit intended for the eastern
markets should be picked and taken
into their warehouses and allowed to
remain there over night, so that the
heat would come out of the fruit be-
fore it was wrapped. Paper being
nonconductor, if the fruit was wrapped

perature of 20, 80 and 80 degrees, and
then forwarded to the eastern markets

apples can not be grown in other dis

says that the cool nights are the saw
ior of the crops in this country. Very
warm during the day, the temperature
runs down as low as 40 degrees at
night This low temperature at night
is not only beneficial to the fruit, but
to the people, allowing them to recupe-
rate during the night and get ready
for the toll of the next day. AS an in
stance, while he was at Granger, the
thermometer reached 120 in the sun,

fruit was picked in the day and allow
ed to cool at night, and then packed
and shipped it would arrive in good
order at the eastern markets.
When asked, "How do you find the
temper of the people toward the sug-
gestion for the cultivating of foreign
markets." Mr.. White replied: "They
seemed pleased that some one should
come out to see them, but I found one
prevailing idea that they thought the

all the covers on the bed. This change
of temperature during the night allows
the fruit to live properly during the
extreme heat of the day. The heat
never blights the apple as it does in
southern climes. Without the cool
nights, the apples would be exposed to
many diseases, sun scald, and other
things.
Mr.. White tried to impress upon
the growers wherever he went that
they were not packing their peaches
and pears in what he considered the
proper manner. "The system prevail

pean markets. He speaks favorably
of some of the districts. In North
Yakima the orchards impressed him
very favorably, in other districts not
so well. He thinks that some of the
horticulturists show a lack of early
training in fruit raising.
He says: THE situation at present
is not what it was in the past. In the
past some of the ranchers went in
with a determination to make things
a success, and they put it through with
five and ten acre lots, by themselves.

The country around Yakima is

that the apples. From what he
