died through Western Avenue. We
have not only absorbed abundantly
expensive lessons from that source,
but we do not feel that there is now
any further reason for considerable
importations from Japan. We can get
all the early oranges we require from
first-class American growers, who
properly spray, grade and pack their
fruit; I refer to the new orchards of
Northern California. Besides, there is
large element of justice as we'll as
patriotism in such course, and fur
thermore Northern California is en-
titled to our early orange trade before
any other region So long as she can
supply us satisfactorily, and of the
latter we have no doubt, because we
have eminently satisfactory experience
there already, more or less for half
dozen years"

splendid oranges of South California
do not usually arrive before Christ
mas.
Northern California is now able to
supply all the early oranges required
and she can do it satisfactorily. 1t is
entirely natural that the produce deal
ers and commission merchants of the
Pacific Northwest prefer to give this
business to the growers of Northern
California, rather than to the inferior
growers of far-away Japan, whose
product Is so bad, so negligently grown
and so carelessly put up, not to speak
of its intrinsic inferiority as palat-
able fruit, that it is at all times re-
ceived with fear and trembling by
every dealer who has had any expert
ence with it.
A prominent Western Avenue deal
er, one who can be relied upon to
voice the conservative opinion and SEN
timent of the street, said to me the
other day: 81 am confident that there
will be few more Jap oranges han

n HANY a time within the last five
N years the fruit inspectors, as
we'll as the scientific fruit
growers of the Pacific coast, have
called attention to the quite generally
diseased condition of the little oranges
that come from Japan by thousands of
bundles every year. In the Pacific
Northwest particularly this tiny
orange has been widely popular in the
markets and has reached perhaps
every hamlet every year.
Fumigation upon arrival from the
Orient was required by law, but it has
been discovered that even this safe
guard was insufficient to kill all the
myriads of germs and parasites Turk
ing in the pebbled skins of the little
yellow devils. The produce dealers
and commission men of Western cities
dealt in them reluctantly, but there
was a continuous and inslstent popu-
lar demand, and the dealer who failed
to meet it soon felt the loss OF other
business as we'll as the Jap orange
trade. If he desired to remain in bust
ness he must meet the demands OF
his public.
Even with all these dealers buying
and receiving Japs on consignment up
to last year there were rarely enough
Japs in sight to fill all orders. Last
season there were too many, four
times over, and then some. The con-
dition of the fruit was worse than ever.
Fumigation upon arrival, with the
oranges placed in tight car and thor
oughly smoked, even this was not
enough to prevent the fruit inspectors
of Victoria and San Francisco from
condemning every shipment sent them
because the fruit was infected with
living germs and destructive insects.
1t was a regular blight of loss, loss,
loss to the dealers on every bundle
and box received.
North California Has the Goods.
That is why there will be few more
jap oranges handled extensively IN
the Pacific Northwest. But that is
not the only reason for this checking
of-the yellow peril: Within the last
six years Northern California has
come into the market as an orange
grower. It's oranges are ready for mar
ket even earlier than the Japs. The
principal reason for the Jap orange
demand here was that 1t came into
the market nearly month earlier
than any American competitor. The
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-03-01

been difficult for local dealers to Sc
cure sufficient supply
Therefore, everybody was quick to
bid to the Japanese shippers, either
to buy or to receive on consignment
Everybody wanted Japs, as they are
colloqually called by produce and COM
mission merchants. The Jap shippers
and growers, unfortunately for West
ern Avenue and everybody else con-
cerned, including the Jap growers and
shippers themselves, were there with
the goods, able to fill every order
AS result of this stampede of the
dealers and the ability of the little
brown men to meet it, from December
till December %, 1907, more than 49,
900 bundles, or 10000 boxes, of Jap
oranges were tossed into the bullying
warehouses of Western Avenue. At
the same time it was we'll known to
the competent operators in the local
market that the street could not pos
sibly handle proftably, at the very out
side, more than 10000 bundles.
Added to this disastrous outlook was
the further discouraging fact that,
with the exception of the first ship
ment which arrived on the steamship
Minnesota on December 4, all the ship
ments came to the dealers or con-
signees in very poor condition, thou
sands of boxes being practically a to-
tai loss. One shipment was badly in
jured by bilge-water in the hold of
one of the N. Y. X. steamships, and
owing to a loosely drawn insurance
policy the Seattle merchants had to
stand the entire loss.
OF the 10000 bundles, more than g..
600 were bought direct from the grow.
ers and shippers in Japan, and less than
10000 bundles were consigned here on
commission These oranges were
bought in Japan for AZ cents a bundle;
the freight charge was 22 cents per
bundle and the import duty 23H cents
per bundle, making the net cost to To-
cal merchants, not including insurance
premiums and damage in transit,
total of 871a cents bnudle.
By the time the second steamship
arrived with its yellow load and it be.
came a matter of common knowledge
that everybody, nearly, had plunged in
the market, there was some fancy hus-
Ting on the street, and day after day
brought slump after slump in the price
Of Japs. The price started with the
Minnesota shipment December 4, at
rs cents bundle, aud from that point
