AFTER OUR FRUIT.
If Packed AttraCtiveIy, Virginia
Apples Take Well In Europe.

Washington, March 27.-Our Brit
ish cousins are great admirers of Ar-
erican fruits and are among our bsst
buyers. John Bulls people will nave
only the best quality that America
can produce, and in many cases are
willing to pay not only good but fancy
prices. England is the principal
market. but the Netherlands, Norway,
Belgium, Germany and France also
import considerable quantities, says
Major John J. Carson, now a United
States commercial agent in foreign
countries.
'.The annual imports of fruits and
nuts used as fruits into the United
Kingdoms" Major Carson continues,
aggregate roundly $50, 200, OO0."
What proportion of the S21 900, 600
worth OF apples and oranges imported
into the United Kingdom in 1910 came
from Virginia and other parts of the
United States is not disclosed by the
available official statistics of either
country. During the twelvemonth,
however, the United States has export
ed !, $50, 295 barrels of apples, valued
at S., 456, 45O, and 962. 229 boxes of
oranges, worth 50, AS, $50. Since the
United Kingdom received almost one
third of the total American shipments
~ f,,ite IF q II binds r3o,bYlose n 1o,.o
part of the apples and oranges export
ed from the United States in 1910
found British purchasers. According
to the official English returns, the
United States supplied So, 1856, 295
worth of apples.
The price for apples is fixed by the
visible supply. First quality. well
packed, will sell readily for Sc to 81
per barrel. AND second quality for S.
to Sc per barrel. When loosely pack
ed and contained in old or second
hand barrels, the price is consider
ably less. As rule, apples from Il e
United States are tightly packed in
strong, new barrels, out many ship
ments are made in old barrels, pre-
viously used for flour or other COM
modities, the remains of which mar
the appearance of the apples and
prove detrimental to their sale. Too
much care can not be exercised in the
selection and packing of apples for
export. New barrels should always
be rsed, and the apples should, after
careful selection, be packed tight by
hand, and sufficient pressure applied
when barrels are filed to make the
fruit immovable. Apples from the
Pacific coast and the Northwest are
better packed tpan those received
from the East, although the Virginia
apples within themselves are really
better, and consequently the former,
while not naturally as good, find more
ready sale and command better prices.

Cut Down The Cedar Tries.

The article below from the Winches-
Ter Star deserves the serious Affection
OF our people. The cedar rust has
appeared in Shenandoah. Il some
orchards that received careful atten-
ton the York Imperial apples were
not larger than walnuts and could not
be shipped as marketable barrel APP
Piles. The loss occasioned by cedar
rust was greater than the value of all
the cedar trees in the county. 1t is
said that the wind conveyed the germs
of this disease and that all cedar
trees within several miles of an orch
ard should be cut down.
SAT the fruit growers meeting Sat-
urday keynote was sounded for the
death of all cedar trees in this section
Prof NJ. B. Waite, of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, said that cedar
trees are directly responsible for the
cedar rust which has been prevalent
for the last year or so and which has
done many thousand dollars of dam
age.
Cedar rust is spread by the small
balls on cedar trees, and first attacks
the fungous foliage OF an apple tree.
which is sometime entirely defoliated,
and will later appear on the apple
by yellow-colored spot.
Cedar rust last year was respon-
sible for many thousand barrels of
understood apples. which could not Re
put in barrels and were sold in bulk
at low price.
experts are as yet uncertain as TO
the proper methods to control cedar
rust, and this disease promises to be
a very serious one for the fruit grow
ers TO control.
Realizing the gravity of the situa-
ton, the fruit growers have started
an active campaign for the extermina-
ton of the cedar tree and they should
be actively assisted by every resident
add property owner in Frederick and
adjacent counties.
''The apple industry is largely re-
sponsible for the present prosperous
condition of this section, and any in
jury to the industry will be felt by
