FRUIT eRowERs' ASSOCIATION
Much Good and Profit at Wenatehee,
Wash.

Wash.
The Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow
ers' association was established about
two years ago with about 300 stock
holders and was capitalized at $4,000.
The object of the association is to Sc
cure better prices for fruit and to ena-
BILE the fruit growers to dispose of
their fruit though a medium of their
own, and not through the hands of
wholesale buyers, who buy only what
they care to handle, the amount
bought by them being regulated too
much by the supply and demand of
their own trade. The fruit growers
now bring their fruit in and dispose
of it to the association, who search for
market, and after disposing of it
charge 10 per cent for selling
During the past season the prices
for the handling of fruit have been
as follows: Five cents box for
peaches and packages of like size, Z
cents box for apples and packages
of similar size.
Three hundred cars of fruit have
been handled, approximating $1,000 a
car, making the total amount handled
by the association valued at about
100000 for the year 1907.
One feature of the business of the
| past year was the big apple pool held
in September. One hundred and one
cars of apples were held by the as
ISOLATION, and bids were advertised fol
in all parts of the United States.
New York, Pittsburg, New Orleans
Washington, D. c., Chicago and othel
large cities throughout the east ant
middle west were apprised of the fac
and bids came in from every direc
ton.
| When the bids were opened it wa
found that the best price offered TO
apples came from the east and south
and, the 101 carloads were sold a
