Apples In Boxes.

This subject would be threadbare
with all the discussion 1t has had Of
late were 1t not for the urgency Of the
facts. The apple barrel Is by nc means
q satisfactory package, especially to
the shipper Of good apples. and in spite
Of obstacles the apple box Is making
progress. A larger proportion Of last
years apple crop was sold in boxes
than ever before. These facts came
most painfully to the attention of east
ern apple growers when all through
the winter months Oregon apples In
boxes sold at good prices in all east
ern cities. while New York and New
England fruit was a drug in the mar
ket 1t was q situation which could
leave no doubt In the eastern apple
growers mind that something has to
be done. Naturally the eastern grower,
who sees his market thus cut out from
under him, thinks first of boxing his
own apples. He considers also the
fancy packing, trademarking and 9TH
err selling devices at which the west
ern men are so clever. All these
schemes he must adopt, initiate or
improve. But there Is one thing more,
and very important one, which must
be taken into the account. The east
ern grower must grow better fruit.
Eastern apples are conceded to be of
better quality than Pacific coast stock,
but the eastern grower has relied quite
too much on this single fact The
western apples are allowed to have
the best color and finish. but again
the eastern grower has taken this esti-
5u.ase too much for granted The high
quality Of New York and New Eng
land apples must be preserved, aug
mented and then advertised. The fruit
must be carefully hand thinne1 on the
trees In order to get a uniform grade
for box packing. The color and ap-
pearance must be improved by better
care. Western methods of cooperative
packing, shipping and selling must be
adopted. These are large reforms
here pointed out. and the eastern farm
Or Is hard subject for reform, but
these improvements have all got to be
made. Otherwise the Oregon epple
grower will appropriate the entire east
ern market. and the eastern apple grow
