BIG APPLE CROP
IN COUNTRY
Fred Thompson Shows How Per-
centages of Government Re-
ports May Be Misconstrued.
WASHINGTON'S CROP THIS
YEAR FOUR TIMES LARGER
While According to the Official
Crop Reporter of Department
of Agriculture, Only One-Eighth
Increase Is Shown.

Fred Thompson stated yesterday
that while the prevailing price for
Jonathans was $l.25 a box, in his es-
tination every commission man who
bought on that basis was Specializing.
and that instead of there being a
small crop of apples in the United
states this year, he was prepared to
prove that there was a much larger
crop than last year.
'Thc Government crop Reporter"
he said, (which so many men tie up
to and quote SO extensively, is very
misleading thing, and Is so much like
fire, that it burns the mans hands
who doesn't know how to handle it.
"Percentages of full crops, which is
all the crop reporter gives, are mis-
leading. These figures only show the
relation of the crop to what the trees
which are in bearing could produce at
a maximum. When compared with
10 year averages, they arc still mis-
leading, because they give absolutely
no index to the actual number of
apples that will be thrown upon the
market, and this is the essential thing
in creating prices.
Doesn't Show Production.
For example, the state of Wash
ington produced last year about
1850 cars of apples. This year the
lowest estimate Is COCO cars That is
over four times as many as last year.
Yet the report of the government ex-
perts states that last year there was
a crop 80 per cent of normal, while
this year it is 80 per cent. BY nor
NAL, they mean the average on the
basis of ten years output, that the
number of trees in bearing will pro-
duce. You would think. to look at
those percentages, that the crop this
year would be only one-eighth larger
than last year, when, as a matter of
fact it is four times as great in this
state.
Large Apple Crop This Year.
There is absolutely no question
that there Is large apple crop,
measured by the number of boxes and
barrels rather than percentages. In
the country this year. 1t is fer great
err than last year. It is greater than
the year before. Eastern buyers who
are here in the city are reporting that
they are now buying Jonathans in
Missouri on a low freight rate, and
will not look for the Washington APP
pie unil this has been marketed. They
are paying 1921 a barrel there, and
there are three OF our boxes in a bar
rel One customer of mine who is
here today says he has bought at 80
sents in Iowa. On the basis of this
price we ought to get s1.25 for a box
of fancy fourier stuff. and 81 a boz
for stuff that is four and a half tier
or off color or size And the orchard
run is of course not all fancy.
AT the average price OF 81 a box
which should and perhaps will OBJ
tain, full bearing orchards will net
$500 to 800 an acre, and that is
a good return in year of large pro-
duction, such as this will be. New
York, the great apple producing
state has a full crop this year. There
are frosts in some places, but the
frosted sections produce comparative
ly little of the apples consumed in the
country"

SEATTLE HOTEL MEN
LIKE YAKIMA VALLEY

Manager Schroeder of the Yakima
hotel has received many letters from
Seattle hotel men since their visit to
this city last month. From the tenor
of their remarks in correspondence
with me-" said Mr.. Schroeder yester-
day, it is easy to see that they
were tickled to death with the YAK
ina valley"
Charles F. Lyons, who is secretary
and treasurer of the association wrote
as follows in a letter received yester-
day:
"The Seattle men wish to extend to
you their thanks for the generous
manner in which they were received
in your city. We wish to congratu-
late you on the untiring efforts OF
yourself and fellow citizens on our
behalf, and let us assure you that the
hotel men of Seattle will always have
a warm spot in their hearts for Yak
ina"

PROGRESSIVE WIN CONTROL.
Republican Platform Declares Against
Control of southern Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. with
ont a single negative vote on any
question that came before the state
conventions the progressive wing OF
the republican party in California
took over the organization manage
mcnt. endorsed the nominees chosen
at the recent primaries and adopted
the party platform.
Concessions had been granted to
the "rcgulars" before the convention
opened, the former dominant faction
being granted representation upon
state central committee and in turn
its leaders offered never protest
against the assumption OF authority
by the victorious "insurgents."
Roosevelt Recognized Leader
The national leadership of Roose-
welt was recognized in speech and
resolution. Chester II. Rowcll was
unanimously selected as temporary
chairman. In his speech he said:
"Most OF you have had experience
in being unpopular. but have lived to
see the day when it has become re-
spectacle to be decent"
Frank II. Devlln OF Sacramento
was elected permanent chairman. The
platform adopted declares "Unswer-
vering adherence to the republican
doctrine OF protection, without which
the American standard of living can
not be maintained. We hold that It's
true measure OF protection Is the diff
ference in the cost OF production and
distribution at home and abroad. Less
than this is unjust to American labor
er and producer, but more is unjust
to the American consumer"
Rcpudiatcs Southern Pacific.
The platform also says: THE re-
publican party OF California repudi-
ates the dominating influence hereto
fore exercised in the councils OF the
party organization and in the CON
duct of the state by the Southern Pa
cifc and allied corporations. We call
upon legislative and executive officials
about to be elected to eliminate that
influence from all participation or
control in governmental affairs of the
state"
The conservation policies of Roose
welt and Pinchot were endorsed.

BIG VOTE IN NEVADA.

CARSON, Nevada, Sept. 9.
The primary election tOdayM
brought out an unusually
heavy vote in this city. To-
night a close vote is indicated
between Tasker l.. eddie, in
surgent, and w. A. Massey,
regular, for the republican
gubernatorial nom ina ion.
Roberts has "a large majority
i'm this county for the repubIi-
can nomination for congress.
The contest is close between
Judge James j. Sweeney and
Key Pittman for the democrat
ic endorsement for United
States senator.
Indications are that the in
surgent movement has been
confined to two candidates on
the republican ticket, while
the revolt i'm the democratic
party failed. Apparently the
following have been nomin-
ated on the democratic ticket
in tOday's primaries; choice
for United States Senator
Key; Pittman for governor;
ID. S. Dickersoh incumbent
Lieutenant Governor, Gilbert

APPLE
MARKET
GOOD MARKET IN SHEFFIELD -
CONSUL CHARLES N. DANIELS
PRESENTS INTERESTING FACTS
DEALERS WOULD BUY DIRECT

Consul Charles N Daniels finds
that the Sheffield city directory con-
tains the names of so fruit dealers,
all of whom handle American and
Canadian apples to greater or less
extent. He has investigated the trade
and learned the following facts:
From a personal interview with a
dozen or more of these firms select
ed at random, it is safe to say this
English city consumes $4,000 to
5000 worth of apples weekly dur
ing the season from October LIST to
the middle of March or April 1st OF
this amount, about three-fifths are
Canadian, the remaining American.
Practically all of these apples are
bought of commission men on the
wharves at Liverpool The tendency
of the trade here is to favor the Can
adam grower and packer, the reason
for this being that Canada exercises
supervision over the grading, packing
and branding of it's fruit that is en-
tirely lacking in the American pro-
duct.
Many dealers here would be glad
to make arrangements whereby their
supply could be obtained directly
from the grower or packer, thereby
eliminating the middleman and his
profit or commission. They say they
would be satisfied with profit of
7 1-2 per cent. With apples selling
retail at from cents per pound or
So a bushel, for ordinary fruit, to
IL or 16 cents per pound, or IS to
IS a bushel for selected cased New
town pippins, it would seem that this
is a market worth the attention of
the American apple grower, but be-
fore staple trade can be established
the American must do certain things.
He must establish fixed grades and
brands and be prepared to stand be-
hind them with his guarantee. The
American producer who does this
and carefully packs his product, Civ
ing attention to the conditions under
which they are shipped and insuring
them against overheating or damage
on the voyage would soon find him
self in possession of steady mar
ket for his product.
The method of packing is not a
vital one, both barrel and cased ap-
pies filming a market here. Curious
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-02-03

ly enough the dealers seem to prefer
the Eastern apples in barrels while
the Western apples are readily
bought in cases.
In using a bushel box or case it
is possible to grade the fruit nearer
to size than where the barrel is used.
but this is not essential; in fact, as
all apples are sold at retail here by
weight, a variation in size enables
the dealers to more readily supply
the quantity his customers may want,
but it is essential that the barrel
contain but one variety, sound and
free from blemish, and not as has
been seen here, when a barrel was
turned out for inspection, to con-
tain three or four varieties, and those
in the center of the package so poor
and gnarly as to be hardly fit for
cider making. 1t is such packing as
this that makes the English retailer
fight shy of American apples.
There does not apepar to be any
settled prejudice in favor of OF
against any particular color, but on
account of it's hardness, making ii
good shipper, and the crispness OF
the fruit, the Newtown pippin ap-
pears to be the favorite

Raymond C. Stockton is in the
city preparing to assume his duties
as the superintendent of the new
manual training department to be
installed in the new high school
building. A part of the machinery
for this department is being set up
in the building today. The machin-
cry for this department will be in
stalled at an estimated cost of
$500. The introduction of the man
ual work in the school is in harmony
with the idea that the things peo-
pie do furnish the basis for their
thoughts. Mr. Stockton was former
ly head of the manual training work
in Tacoma. He has also been con-
nected with the same kind of work
in the Chicago schools.
The committee having in charge
the dedication exercises on Feb. IL
are making out partial program for
the day. The high school building
will be dedicated at $3.50; the depot
at 1880, just after the arrival of the
train from the west; the Commercial
Club at $50 and the Daily World
building all day.

Interest in Up-River Country.


Frank Mclean, of the Winthrop
Land company, arrived on the boat
today. The Winthrop Land company
is the last real estate agency up the
Methow river. 1t has the handling
of several thousand acres of fine If
rigated apple land that is lower
priced than any other, on account
of being further from present trans
portation facilities.
The outlook for a railroad In the
Methow is so good now that Wenat-
chez buyers are greatly interested in
that section. Quite number OF
sales were made to Wenatchee per-
sons last year, and Mr.. Mclean is
anticipating a rush during this COM
ing year. The snow is still deep in
the upper country, but in another
month the ground will be in sight
again, and the Methow real estate
men are expecting their selling sea-
son to open soon with rush.
