MANUFACTURING ICE
4 At STORAGE PLANT
First Batch Of Manufactured Ice
Taken off Monday at the Pay
ette Cold Storage Company Plant
Building Fast Nearing Com
pletion-Will Be Ready to Hand
lie Crop This Fall.

The first batch of manufactured ic'
was taken off at the plant of the
Payette Cold Storage Company oil
Monday evening of this week and th'
firs- G @was highly successful anC
in a few days the manufactured ar
ticle viii be placed on the market
for sale. f. S. Hurd. the local ice
man has secured the contract fol
handling the retail end of the ice
manufactured by the company.
The big plant which will cost close
to $4,000 is fast nearing completion
The cork insulation is now being
placed in position on all the inside
walls of the storage rooms and
not a great deal more remains TO
be done and in a short time the en-
tire building will be completed ready
for business. The plant when COM
pleted will be the most modern
refrigerating plant west of the Miss
issippi river, twelve different COM
parLments being devoted to its
special use. The total space deyot-
ed to the storage of fruit. and 9TH
er produce is 235.OOO cubic feet.
equal to 25O cars of apples. Aside
from this there are three large floors
i-asended at present for dry stor-
y but which in the near future will
be insulated for cold storage.
The preceding room and ice
room will always stand at &c to
28 degrees which will insure dry
zee. The preceding room will also
be fitted with electric fans to agi-
tate the air confined in the room
thus taking out the orchard heat
before loading into cars or storing
at a higher temperature. The pow
er used throughout the plant is cleo
tricity.
Several overtures have been made
to Col Muller TO rent the entire
plant to parties seeking consign-
ments, but he has refused all such
offers. The plant has been built
for the use of the fruit growers Of
Payette Valley where they can store
their crops until the rush is over and
get advantage of the better prices
which generally prevail later and
with the management of the plant
it is but a question of first come
first served until the available stor-
age space is taken.
The work is now being rushed to
completion and the company will
have the building ready for stor-
age purposes in ample time to-
handle this years crop.
This business enterprise means
more to Payette Valley fruit grow
ers than the casual thinker would
at first suppose. The value of pre-
cooling fruit before long shipment
is beginning to be realized as a
very important factor, in fact has
come to be known as one of the
very important essentials in the
handling of all fruits for shipment,
especially apples as it enables the
grower to place his product on the
far away eastern markets In much
better condition.

A RESuM e.

In looking over the prospective
crop of fruit and vegetables for
this year. as given by the different
associations, and also the U. S.
average (taken July y, we find
conditions worthy of very careful
lote. AS to apples. the leading
product of the Payette valley, the
valley represents. a bumper crop.
But taking into consideration the
average in the United States and
Canada, the estimate is 97.3 per
cent of last years crop. But there
is another condition that exists,
which is of no little Importance to
this valley. We grow winter apples
almost exclusively, and the crop
report from New. York gives 6S per
cent of last years crop, and the
same runs very heavy TO fall apples.
This year the shortage is entirely
on winter apples. Michigan esti-
mates 40 per cent with a shortage
IN winter apples. Canada the same,
England in the rear. This condi-
ion will certainly make a good.
active market, not an extremely
aigh market, but a good market;
one of those markets where the
man who wishes 70 encourage +. o.
o. sales will have chance to do
so. A bird in the hand is worth two
an the bush.
According to the secretary OF
agriculture at Washington, ID. c.,
he average apple crop for the last
10 years was 1913 per cent Of full
crop. The average for this year.
taken July l, was 57S per cent of
last years crop as given above.
The potato crop last year was
53S, S,S11 900 bushels. The crop es-
timate for this year is 2S5, ,541 500
bushels, shortage of 53,259, 500
bushels in the United States alone.
rhe man who grew potatoes this
year will get pay for his work.
The cotton crop in the south is
simply fine, which means that the
south will have money with which
% buy. Texas alone receives 40O,-
700 900 million this year. Whiis
their cotton crop is good, their
eruit crop is very light.
