Most Of the orchards in the early
days were Of seeding trees, only a few
being grated to improve varieties in
tended for table use. The reason for
this is because of the fact that the
fruit was used chiefly in the manu-
facture Of cider. AS much as 10, 900
barrels of cider has been known to
have been made from the orchards Of
a community Of 40 families. The far
mer would bring few bushels Of ap-
pies to market and exchange for things
he wished to have. Because Of poor
transportation facilities, it was I'M
profitable and often impossible to ship
any quantity of fruit to distant
markets.
With the improved methods of trans
portation came the commercial orch
ards. About l74l considerable quant-
ties of the fresh fruit. dried fruit and
cider were shipped to the West Indies
and England. In 1853 the first boxes
of fresh fruit, which was our present
high commercial variety, the Yellow
Newtown, was shipped to England by
Benjamin Franklin. From 1925 to
1860 the number of commercial orch
ards greatly increased, and with this
development came the relatively more
important depredations from the Goblin
moth and other meets, and apple scab
and other fungus diseases. These
pests, then little understood, became
so numerous and their damage so great
that in the decade from 1880 to 1890
hundreds Of growers became discour-
aged and cut out all their trees. AL
through the insecticides, such as Paris
green and arsenic, were known as early
as 1870, their application was not un-
derstood, the same being true of the
fungicdcs which were introduced be
tween 1895 and 1895. The fortunate
discovery of a combined insectcide and
fungicide combined with more scientific
methods in cultivation, cover crops,
storage, eVaporators, and canneries
gave a great stimulus to the industry.
We find such high-grade varieties as

THE HISTORY
OF THE APPLE

Written for the Oregon Country.
man, publication of the Oregon Agri.
cultural College, by S. II. Bodding-
house, of the class of 1922
The original home of the apple was
somewhere in sthe region ofsthe Cas-
plan and Black seas. . The fruit has
been known to exist, both wild and
cultivated, in the prehistoric times
has been grown more or less exten-
slvely, more and improved varieties
produced, until the time the Europeans
began to form settlements in America.
Coming to the new world, the immi-
grants brought with them trees or
scions tof their choice varieties, but
more commonly the seeds of those
varieties. This was nearly 300 years
ago. Many of the varieties of West
ern Europe were imported, most Of
them probably from Holland. Indans,
white traders, and missionaries" carried
the sapple far inland, the Indians TAX.
ing them far beyond any of the white
settlements. General Sullivan found
the Senecas and Cayugas with bearing
orchards loaded with fruit.
The early pioneers, making their
farms out of the forests, usually
planted Ethe seeds, which they Ehad
brought over from the Old World,
around their new homes. 1t is a known
fact that seeding trees will rarely, if
ever, produce the same fruit as its
parent. Consequently here was a
great variability in the fruit produced
from the seeding trees. 1t was found
that of the innumerable number sof
varieties grown, some succeeded better
than those brought from Europe. Diff
erent sections. because of climatic con-
ditions, conditions of soil, grew the
fruit larger and with better quality
and higher coloring.
The apples in these early days were
used chiefly for cider. A farmer did
not consider his winter supplies com
plete until he had several barrels o
cider in his cellar. 1t was consume,
by everybody and in enormous quan
titles. Often the fresh fruit was fe,
as food to the stock.
The practice Of grating (then calleD
inoccuIating) was first used to any eX
tent by Mr.. Prince, of New York, il
1880, the iirts nurseryman in America
However, grating was known an,
practiced as early as l6I7. The apples
as grown from seeds, scions, or gratis
soon proved to be larger, of bette
quality and appearance than the Eng
llsh varieties. 1t was near the Prime
nursery that the famous Yellow New
town originated.

year and during the rest of the time
the road would not pay operating ex.
penses.
If capital cannot see it's way clear
to build railroads we must, of necess-
ity, get busy ourselves and if there is a
comparatively cheaper and more satis-
factory way to settle the transporta-
ton matter why not adopt it?
Mr.. Fridays proposed road has its
laterals extending into both sides of
the valley along the small water
courses running down 10 Hood River
and in every case these afford grades
of less than five per cent.
If this road and its laterals, all with
hard surfaces, were constructed it
would soon be that the flats along
Hood River on either side of Power
dale would become the natural section
for warehouses and factories.
The East Side and the Upper Valley
have rairload already and the dis
tance from this site to the extreme
points of the West Side would not be
over five or six miles. All land owners
must have horses and with good roads
these and that coming means of trans
portation, the auto-truck, would convey
our apples to the shipping point at
figures that would put an electric road
cut of business.
Some one, on moderate capital
would be sure to put on line of these
modern machines and fruit could be
conveyed to the warehouses as fast as
desired. A big auto-truck with
trailer could go right to the ranches
after either apples or Strawberries.
everyone's ranch.
Such manufactures as the valley can
support will find their best location on
the Fbanks of Hood River where all
these wagon roads converge. The
Hood River Vinegar Man, whose
factory is now located in a hole
in the ground would be out of
trouble were it located on such a site.
Cider apples must have convenient
market otherwise they will go to loss
on the ground.
The Spray Mfg. Company is also bot
tied up in an out of the way location
and good site on the O.-W. r. & N.
rihgt of way is hard to find.
AS a distributing point for fruit
boxes this central point would be con-
veniently accessible to growers from
both sides of the valley.
Even a straight box factory might
venture to show its head again if such
site were available as its lumber re-
quirements could be filled from rail
points in all directions, both within
the county and from all Columbia
River saw mills. No box factory
worthy of the name can carry on bust
ness profitably if located over six feet
from railroad siding and with cheap
ground to build on.
AS to the cost of Mr.. Fridays road
and its laterals it can be shown that a
macadam road clear to Parkdale with
as many additional miles in side roads,
can be constructed for less than the
amount that our electric road enthusi-
asts would oblige US to pay for the
support of their scheme every two
years. All this road building of course
cannot be done at once but once right
start is made the construction can
be carried on as fast as needed.
