Misleading Annie Figures.

Now that the season for the 1903
spple CROP 10 we'll advanced there will
be a constant discussion as to the
crops condition and probable Ultimate
results.
or course no one will contend that
the final yield can even be approx
mately foretold at this time, but what
Ia almost of equal Importance Ia to
get a correct idea of the actual con-
dition OF the crop 10 the several
important states where commercial
apple growing Is carried on.
In this connection the government
crop reports ale the subject of great
deal of discussion. While this feat.
ure of tie governments effort to en-
Tighten the pubic is commendable In
general way 1t should be borne In
mind by those directly concerned In
the apple trade that there are some
objections TO accepting the govern
ment percentage figures as trust
worthy when 1t oomes to calculating
the probable trend of the mai ket as
based on the government figures.
In the first place the average con.
dition given 10 grossly misleading for
the reason that every state In the
Union Is given IA place In the calcula'
tions, therefore IL dozen non com
meroial apple states have a. high croT
condition and an equal number of the
leading apple states should have low
condition the average OF these two
groups would not represent the actual
condition of the crop from CONNER
cial standpoint. Under the condi
tions here suggested the percentage
condition would of course bs too
high. This might also apply TO the
crop in a single state, few counties
with the states principal acreage
being considered on the same basil
with many other counties having NJ
commercial orchards.
Another bad feature Is that fire
quently the men who furnish th'
crop figures are not in position tt
give an accurate report of the appl
crop for the reason that they arr
chiefly engaged in other lines of farm
work. 1t is obvious that grail
raiser would not be the best person t.
give a dependable report on the applt
crop, yet the majority of the orol
figures are derived from just suol
sources.
No one, probably, would assert tina
the governments figures are not a
nearly correct as 1t Is possible t.
compile under the system in use, anC
In general way they are of value
but for the man who deals in apples
whether grover, shipper or merchant
the crudeness ot thel system render
the results of questionable actua
value. Chicago Packer.

PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN

States will have their attention drawn
to Oregon az the land of opportunity
during the coming three months by a
great advertising campaign to be con-
Quoted by the Portland Commercial
Club. The leading agricultural papers
and the weekly editions of the big
dailies will be used. There is no
question that the campaign will direct

carry the familiar oval, with the slo
gan, "OreRon ia the place for YOU,
in large letters, and those at all inter.
ested are urged to ask for literature
and information about Oregon. The
advertisement informs the reader that
railroad rates are the same to all parts
of Oregon from the East and Oregon
Commercial todies will be supplied
with addresses of all InquireIs so that
the whole state may profit by this ad
vertising, although Portland will bear
all the expense. There is probably no
other city in the world that has done
a like thing.
1t is urged that ell get In line for
this valuable publicity. People from
the east who ask about this state
should he answered promptly and
fully by every commercial body. In
this way it is believed, very great
benefits wilt follow for all Oregon.
This is the more important nov
that tho Colonist rates for this fal
have been decided upon by the rail
roasd. Reduced one way tickets viii

Those who read the apple crop re-
ports In the eastern fruit trade pa
pers, which are mostly interviews
from prominent dealers, should bear
In mind that these papers are pub
lished solely In the interest OF the
buyer and not the grover. These re-
ports are oolored to have an effect on
the market, and gradually leave the
impression that there will be big
crop of apples and that prices Will be
cheap. They would have the grower
believe that he had better take the
frat offer for his apples that Ia Of
fered, and that prices will be low or
at least not high. Most OF the reports
would indicate that the crop In the
east is about double what 10 really
the case rs indicated from unbiased
reports, and even many of the western
apple districts are claiming larger
crop than Is believed TO be the case.
Prom the most reliable reports OBJ
tainable the supply OF apples In the
United States this year Is the smallest
In many years, and prices should be
as strong all along the line.
