Crop Estimates.

THE crop of peaches pears, prunes
and apples in the great Northwestern
country for the season Of 1910, Is con-
servatively estimated from the most
reliable sources at $4,000 carloads, Of
which 5000 carloads are peaches,
pears ana prunes, the balance of 2O.-
900 carloads consisting entirely of ap-
pies Six hundred and thirty boxes of
apples constitute a carload, so that the
season mentioned could market 49,
COO 900 boxes Of apples, as nearly per-
feet as nature, sunshine and water can
make them. The nurseries of the
Northwest have been exhausted every
spring and fall for the last five years,
so great is the demand for trees.
I'm regard to the overproduction, 1t
should be said that this is not a new
question. Fifty years ago a wall was
going up that the apple business
would be overdone soon, and would
cease TO be profitable. At that time
no more than one-tenth as many APP
pies were raised for commercial pur-
poses in the United States as are rails
ed today. One hundred years ago ap-
Piles were but little raised for CONNER
cial purposes.

NO FLOOD OF APPLES"
EASTERN BUYER NOT ALARMED
AT ~ovERPRoDUCTI0Nv CRY.
Northwest Excels In Care and Manage
ment Of Orchards and Quality
Of Fruit.

One important authority on apples
gives no heed to the cry that pro-
duction in the Northwest soon may
be overdone. Sydney G. Miller. who is
an extensive Northwest buyer, making
headquarters in Chicago, sees on his
horizon no flooding of the world mar
ket with Northwestern apples for any
period. Mr.. Miller's visit to Portland
this week, says the Portland Telegram,
recalls the prophecy and words of
optimism written in "The World OF
Today" wherein he reviews the
Northwestern fruit industry compre-
hensively this year, and assures pro-
ducer and consumer that no alarm
need be felt over the fact that the
Northwest now has planted young ap-
pie trees which will multiply the
present yield.
I'VE have come upon time in our
National life when the question Of
providing homes for ouE people is
greater than ever before. The time
is not far distant when it will be-
come acute.
"Of late years the expansion of ap-
pie orchards has been phenomenal. TO
such an extent is this true that many
have feared that the thing might be
overdone. But of this overproduction
OF apples horticultural authorities
seem to think there is little danger.
Northwest ExceIs
I'm the care and management of
orchards the Northwest excels Mo-
where else is there such attention and
scientific cultivation given fruit, and
from nowhere else comes such SpitZ-
enberg, Newtown Pippins, Rome Beau
ty, Winesap, Golden Grimes, Jonathan
and Mcintosh Red, and other apples,
as from theie. A considerable portion
of these apples is exported to Eng
land while the balance finds market
in the consumption centers of the cit
les east of the Rocky Mountains, on
the Atlantic Coast, in the Southern
States, and in many foreign ports.
according to good authorities, the
State of Washington has more than
100000 acres In orchards, and the
value of full crop from these or
chards, when in full bearing, would
equal 500, 100000. In 19O7-0S-O9 the
Montana State Inspectors examined
100000 fruit trees shipped into that
state, and this is the smallest fruit
producing state in the Northwest |
The value of the fruit crop in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho in 1910 is said
to be 25,O00,000 These results are
obtained through genial climate,
rich soil, good water, long days and
continued sunshine, cool nights, and
above ALL extreme care in picking and
packing.
