Spokane, Wash, Feb, S.-lIomer
J Shinn, one of the big apple deal
ers of Spokane, and Ben Rice, Soc
retary of the National apple show,
are advocating packing school for
Spokane County to help solve the
problem of the annual shortage of
apple packers of experience.
Last year capable packers were in
great demand and several big grow
ers had to send to Hood River, Ore.,
and elsewhere To get men to help
them out, especially during the APP
pie show.
The Commercial Club of Walla
Walla, Wash, with the cooperation
of Walla Walla valley growers, has
instituted a free packing school for
young men which Is meeting with
great success and 1t is believed
that a similar institution here would
be of great benefit Expert packers
make from $3.50 to $3.50 day and
board.

attending the Walla Walla school,

pie show in Denver as the highest
price ever paid for apples, at a rec
ent letter from the Gibson Fruit
company of Chicago says "Our at
tention has been drawn to a re-
port in trade papers relating to a
box of apples sold at Denver during
the apple show there for S52.50,
claimed to be the highest price ever
paid for q box of apples. On Jan
uary 81, 1909. we made returns 60
n. j. Black, Wenatchee, wash, for
$3.50. covering box containing
liz Winesaps, which figured 60 cents
apiece. on the same day we made
another return to G. j.. Green of
Wenatchee for box of the same
fruit for which we received $44.S0.
These apples were first prize winners
at the Spokane National Apple
show in December, 1905" Fruit in
spector Darlington has made a re-
port on the prospects for a fruit
crop during 1910. He says $500 cars
will be necessary to carry the COM
ing crop, estimating that ii will re-
quire 100000 apple boxes, or 21,
600 cars; 100000 peach boxes, or
700 ears, and 700 cars will be re-
quired to carry fruit and vegetables
of other kinds. Mr.. Darlington has
point out that in 1908 when the
biggest crop of the valley was
| marketed, 1918 cars were required,
395 cars being required TO move the
| peach crop and 623 cars to carry
the apples and smaller fruit. The
| great increase In the bearing orch
ards will produce nearly IS per cent
more crop than i'm 1908.
