APPLE MARKET
IN The ORIENT
OREGON SHIPPERS HAVE DE-
vELoPED GREAT DEMAND IN
FAR EAST FOR PRODUCTS OF
APPLE ORCHARDS

The extent and Importance to the
apple-growers of Oregon of the mar
ket for the fruit that is being opened
up and developed in the great coun-
tries of the Orient are alike meal
culable. Though the possibilities OF
this market have as yet been bare
touched, enough progress has to date
been made in the creation of an out
let in the far East for American APP
pies that it is safe to say that there
need be no fear in the minds of Ore
gon apple growers of overproduction
of this staple fruit, provided varie-
ties that have keeping and carrying
qualities are selected in the plant
ing of orchards.
There Is market in the Orient
for all the good and late-keeping APP
pies that can be produced in the
state" said w. B. Glafke, the COM
mission merchant and pioneer ship
per of American apples to that part
of the world, today. Seven years
ago we began in a small and rather
experimental way to send apples to
the far East, Japan, China, Man
churia and Siberia, principally the
| latter countries. and the results that
have come of our efforts are crafty
ing to ourselves and must be of in
terest to the apple growers of the
state.
The far Eastern market for Ore
gon apples literally had to be Gre
ated, for when we began that part
of the world had seen no apples
other than the small and inferior
products of Japan where apples in a
small way are grown. Oregon APP
Piles are almost infinitely superior to
these, and whenever ours are shown
there is at once a demand for the
fruit.
in the seven years we have been
shipping apples to the Orient the
business has been steadily increas.
ing, especially in Siberia and Man.
churia, and Oregon apples are now
every year going to practically al
the cities on the Trans-Siberian
railroad from Vladivostock to st
Petersburg. AS the fruit becomes
better known to the people of those
countries, the demand for it steadily
grows. 1t would be idle to speculate
on how far it can be developed
There surely is no more promising
market for American apples in the
world.
I'm Vladivostock, Mukden an(
