Union Manager Publicly Explains
Cause of Complaint Over Last
Seasons Prices
ETHIOPIAN IN WOODPILE
IS HIS POINT OF VIEW
Fruit Was Too Large, Storage Fa-
ciIities Were inadequate and
the Growers Insisted in Sending
Their Crop to Market

There is trouble on in Hood River
The growers there of the famous apple
have been kicking on the returns they
have received and so loud have been
their protests that C. H. Sproat of the
Apple Growers Union has addressed
long letter to the membership. Per-
haps, otter all, the most interesting
thing he says is in his closing pa1a-
rraph In which he intnates that out
siders, for some reason or ctbet II
their own. are trying 70 get hol1 IT
the Union and have baea Surfing mp
dissatisfaction. He hazards guess
that the power behind the throne is
an outside Influence with :1esitc to
have hand in the shipping game.
Reason for Low Pricca
In explaining reasons for low prices
on apples Mr.. Sproat says many things.
He calls attention to the fact that tho
complaint is largely or Spitzenburgs
and Newtons. These, no says. grew
too large last year and would nos
readily enter into a market. Mo-
yer they, like every large apple. would
not store well so had to find immed-
late sale and consumption and natural
~ crowded each other for price. It
Is the first time in ten years, he
says, that the large sige and non
keeping qualities of the Hood River
apples have been against them.
Not Enough Storage
Another factor influencing the APP
pie rates is that the entire apple box
section of the northwest is with tut
any home storage and it was found
necessary to get as many apples into
the eastern markets as early as pos
sible before cold weather set in This
threw the entire crop of apples ct
the other northwestern sections upon
the market during the months OF Oc-
tober and November with the result
that Ali the nrincipal markets were
glutted and all soft and non-keen.
varieties were sold regardless of va
ieties." He says further that the i'm
possibility Of getting storage-in-transit
rates forced the entire crop upon the
market at terminal points and only
the very longest keepers were put in
storage.
Growers Wouldn't Hold
Mr.. Sproat says that while the I'm
ion had $50, 900 boxes of apples listed
with it from growers they actually
sent in 100000 boxes and as there is
storage rooms at the warehouse for
but $4,000 boxes and as the growers
would not store at home 1t became
necessary to move out over 100000
boxes and make of them the best
possible sales and do it all before
December /. This may look easy, he
says "but doing it is different pro-
position"
Mr.. Sproat takes up the need for
home cold storage If the business is
ever to reach good sound basis AMI

came up in the city cound st
night and after some discussion the
matter was postponed again, the
council refusing to vote on anybody
Notwithstanding they had asked the
West Side Improvement association
to suggest candidate. which they
did.
Councilman Wenser, when the
matter was brought up by the mayor
nominated John A. Lynch, former
partner of Judge Grady and Council
man Shaw placed in nomination
George \. Shallberger, who had been
selected by the West Side Improve
ment association as their candidate
Both Nominations were seconded and
ballot was called for, but was not
ordered it being evident that major
ity of the councilmen were not ready
to decide the question. Councilman
Wenner, Carver and Brown declared
they did not know Mr.. Shallberger
and were not aware of his position on
fore the council; that they would like
to know whether he was in favor Or
opposed to q municipal lighting plant
or whether he was tied up with some
corporation
George c. Mitchell of the West
Side Improvement association, said
that Mr.. Shallberger, who had re-
ceived the endorsement of that or
ganization, was one of the proprietors
of the Yakima Hardware company.
and they would not make any mis-
take in voting for him. He had no
strings tied to him. Mr.. Mitchell de-
clared. Councilmen Wenner, Car
yer and Brown reiterated their in
tention of wishing to know their MAJ
before voting for him and the matter,
on motion, was laid over two weeks.
Last month George F. B. Black
burn, at meeting of Third ward vot-
ers called to select successor to
Judge Grady, received the most votes
of any of the candidates presented.
The committee that was appointed to
report the selection made by tire
Third ward voters to the council,
without any auth GRITTY, it is stated,
presented the names of both Black
burn and Fear. The latter had re-
ceived the next largest number Of
votes. On the plea that the Third
warders were divided in their opin-
ions, the council at that time laid the
matter over, asking the West Side
Improvem ent association to get to-
gether and agree on candidate,
which was done, as reported last
night 1t is stated that the men,
bers of that organization have moth
ing against Mr.. Lynch. but they feel
that, although he lives in the Third
ward, his interests are on the east
side, and therefore they wouli rather
have another man to represent them.

How Much Cold Can Fruit Bud
Stand and not Be Injured?

Editor Herald: ~
This all depends on where you live.
During the last 10 days the Yakima
valley with its bursting fruit buds
has passed through siege of cold
weather unusual at this time of the
year. But at no time was there the
danger that our pessimist friends
would have us believe as regarding
the fruit crop being a failure for
1911. The same conditions prevail
ing in other parts of the country
would have destroyed the fruit crop
in it's entirity, but in the Yakima val
ley never True there are trees, es-
pecially in the low lands which are
not adapted to the raising of fruit.
Failures may be the result because
of the humidity and even there we
do not find it complete.
Damage Done by Frost
Investigation has proven that the
injury of a fruit bud it not so much
the cold, but the frost which settles
upon the buds which when the
warmth of the day begins thaws out
and the icy cold drops of the frost
settles or sinks into the blossoms. in
other words the dew or moisture be-
comes frost because of the cold. The
reason why the upland is always the
last to get hurt is on account of
breeze stirring carrying the moisture
from the uplands to the low lands
and there settling. The Yakima val
ley has a condition existing which
Is unique ana with which no other
country can compare. she Is in a class

Answer to the Question
Thus We come to the question how
much cold can a fruit bud stand and
not be injured? My opinions is after
a careful examination, 10 degrees
above zero providing a breeze is

COST $4,000 TO
SMUDGE THE VALLEY
15O, 900 Gallons of Smudge Oil
Consumed in the Lower Valley
= In Two Years

Charles F. Bailey, of Granger, says
that the first firepot used in the Yak
ina valley was brought in by John
Moorhead of Granger, in 1909, and
now there are thousands of them be-
ing used throughout the valley. In
that year Mr.. Moorhead organized
the Granger Storage company and
the first year they built one oil stor-
age tank. The second year storage
tanks were built at Wapato Out,ook
and Grandview, and this year one
tank has been erected at Sunnyside
and another at Prosser Up to the
present time this season the tanks
distributed 10000 gallons of o.. u
a cost of 6 1-2 cents a gallon to t4!e
consumer, so that during the past
year nearly $4,000 have been spent
in the valley for smudge oil.
Those who use the smudge pots put
in from so to leo per acre and every
night that they smudge it costs them
about $3.50 per acre. The best re-
suits from smudging are reported by
a man at Sunnyside, who raised the
temperature IL degrees on a night
temperature was % degrees above
zero.
A number of people report to the
company that they still have peaches,
among them being Messrs. Thorn pson
and Olson. in Parker Bottom, who
at first thought everything destroyed:
and several smaller orchards on high
Eer ground in that vicinity will have
fair peach crops. The apple situa-
ton on the higher lands where
smudged is still In fair shape.
That portion of the country below
THE Union Gap is not entirely planted
to fruit. but diversified farming is
carried on to such arN extent that
La partial failure in fruit will not be
hurtful.
Fred Moorhead, president of the
Storage company. says that during
the cold weather recently, twice as
much oil was used as would be con-
sumed in a normal year. the amount
being seventeen cars, averaging H.
500 gallons to a car.
