RAILROAD ANXIOUS
FOR A BIG EXHIBIT

An earnest effort is being made by
the Northern Pacific railway to in
terest apple growers in the exhibit
to be made in New York this fall
when a prize of $500 will be given
by the railway company for the best
25 boxes shown. Naturally the rail-
way people would feel very badly if
this prize went to some eastern
grower and would feel almost as
badly if it was won by some grower
in the west who is on non-Pacific
territory. The railway feels that, as
a matter of merit, the prize should
come to the Yakima, the Walla
Walla, the Lewiston or some other of
the particularly good fruit sections
along it's railway In order, however
for this to result it is necessary that
the growers take an interest and
that a sufficient number of them en-
gage in the competition for the fruit
shown to be representative.

Produce Mans Views

n. w. White &, Co, fruit and gen
eral produce dealers of New York, are
sending out notices calling attention
to the fact that all boxes not a stand
ard bushel shall have the net weight
marked on the box and suggesting
that as all apples do not weigh alike
the matter may be of interest to grow
ers here. They suggest that the mat
ter be taken up with senators and
congressman of the fruit producing
sections joint petition to be present
ed to Mayor Gaynor of New York.
asking him to hold this matter over
for another twelve months so that
next season the growers can get reg
ular bushel boxes.

Laeffean Box Bill
Probably you are not aware that
the fruit trade of the east tried to
carry bill in Washington last year
known as the Laffean Bill, to provide
for the same size boxes throughout all
the states, such boxes to have the
same measurement as the Winchester
Bushel, and although that question
was fought very strongly in commit
tee Populations from New York, Chi
cago and elsewhere, appearing in fa-
vor of the bill, it could not be carried.
All the states above enum Grated ships
heavily to this market; at the present
time some 90 or 80 car of boxes OF
pears day is coming into this mar
ket. Those boxes only contain 40
pounds that has been the size OF
the pear box ever since the trade of
pears started from the west

About Apple Trade

"As regards boxes of apples, some
100000 boxes were brought into this
city last season of which about a little
over 100000 was exported, the rest
being consumed in New York and adj
joining territory. Now at the present
time every grower in the west has al
ready ordered from the sawmills (and
in many cases has his supplies already
stacked in his Warehouse), all boxes
he will require for the coming season
/ agree with you there should be a
regulation box, but how can that reg
ulation box come into operation on the
first of November? If the notice had
been given last April or May before
the grower or dealer had ordered his
boxes then he could have made ar
rangements with the box manufacture
er to have his lumber cut with the
proper dimensions. but this season it
is too late"

Agent Here Will Act

E. F. Benson has been placed in
charge of the matter of looking after
the exhibits and C. c. Burdick, gem
eral agent of the railway here, is
closely in touch with Mr.. Benson and
will be able to represent him immed-
lately in negotiations with any grow
err who proposes to enter the compe
tition. The New York show is to be
in November. 1t is impossible, I'M
der the law. for the railway company
to deadhead east the fruit which will
total cost thereon will probably be
be entered in the competition. The
necessary however, for this payment
to be made in advance as the rail-
way will undertake to act as the
agent of the grower and will market
his fruit for him. if desired, after the
contest The railway wants the priv
ilege of buying the winning fruit, if
it is grown on Northern Pacific ter
ritory, but will not insist upon that.
What it wants primarily is general
competition SO as to make certain, if
such a thing is possible, of the award
coming in this direction.
Messrs. Thomas Cooper, A. NJ
Cleland. L. j. Bricker and other Of
ficials of the railway are taking a
pronounced personal interest in the
matter. Mr., Benson will accompany
the exhibits of this section to the
east and remain with them until the
end of the November show.

What Commissioner Says

In letter to Messrs. White e Co..
the commissioner says:
at is not my desire to cause any
hardship to the grower or dealer, and
if they have supply of boxes on hand
for the present season, l would advice
that they mark or label on the outside
of each box the net weight of the
contents, and they need have no fear
of molestation from the department >"
This expression from the commits
sioner was called forth by letter sent
him by Messrs. White &, Co., in which
they said a number of things which
will interest the Yakima grower, par
ticularly as the facts he gives regard
ing weights. do not apply to the boxes
in use here. They serve to show.
however that the box question is
live issue and that, under existing
box conditions, the exact weight if
marked by Yakima valley grower
will be to his advantage as the weights
sent out from here are certainly in
excess of those mentioned in the let
ter of Messrs. White & Co. to the COM
missioner. They say TO him:
Suggestion to Commissioner
''My reason for asking you concern
ing these boxes are, that at the pres
ent time with the exception of the
State Of Colorado which state uses
the standard bushel box all other
states such as California. Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Montana use
various kinds of boxes, some larger
and some smaller certainly none of
