HOOD RIVERS APPLE CROP.
Complete Returns Show Over $780,
90 Income for 1907.

Complete returns from Hood Riv-
er's 1907 apple crop show that 1t will
receive in round numbers 100000
for its product, Notwithstanding the
money trouble, car shortage and re-
duced crop says a Hood River Item
This is approximately what the Hood
River crop brought last year, when
it was in the neighborhood Of 10000
boxes more, and It is accounted for
by the fact that the apples brought
much larger average price.
The entire crop is now placed at
10000 boxes. about $4,000 of which
were handled by the Davidson Fruit
company. Their purchase from the
Hood River Apple Growers union
amounted to 53,31S boxes, for which
they paid that organization the good
ly sum of $94.724.29, or an average
price for the lot of s1.S1 per box for
everything.
The average last year was $1.4O,
so that the growers in the union re-
ceived Al cents more per box for their
apples this year than last, which al
most equals the entire cost of pro-
duction.
In addition to the union crop, the
Davidson company handled $4,000
boxes from other growers. and about
80 900 boxes were shipped by inde-
pendent growers and the union. who
sold in the neighborhood of 10000
boxes of fancy fruit included in the
latter figure. none of which went for
less than 1925 +. o. b. at Hood River.

sEEDLEss PEARS AT YAKIMA.
Washington Paper Gives List OF Own
ers Of Freak Fruit.

That Hood River does not own the
only seedless pears in the country is
the story that County Assessor ]. w.
Sindall thinks should be published,
says the Yakima Republic. There is
an orchardist in the Hood River coun-
try who owns several trees of seedless
pears and he has recently been given
considerable notoriety in the press on
this account, the assertion being made
that his trees are the only ones Of
the kind ever discovered. The asser-
tion is incorrect, as there are at least
six or seven such trees right here in
Yakima.
Mr.. sindall is the proud owner Of
five of them. The trees are about IL
years of age and have been heavy
bearers for the past seven or eight
years. The fruit is somewhat like the
pears OF the Bartlett variety, but
larger, and Mr.. Sindall things Of a
superior quality.
The pears are entirely without core
and have been used by Mr.. Sindall
and his neighbors largely for making
preserves. The name of the seedless
variety Of pears is not known here
and even Joe Brown was unable to
enlighten Mr.. Sindall as to the origin
of these trees. They are supposed to
have arrived with a shipment of Bart
lett trees.
Another orchardist who has one If
not more of the seedless pear trees
is Mr.. Coonse.
Mr.. Sindall is making inquiries in
order to get more information regard
ing the trees and it is possible that
he may try his hand at providing
other orchardists with this useful va
riety of fruit.
