THE APPLE BOX QUESTION.

For several years there has been
strife between the East and the West
over the size of the apple box but
fortunately that seems to be settled
now. The contention of those who
use the box for apples has been that
they are the ones to settle its size.
We have said to the users of the
barrel: "You settle the size Of the
barrel and let us settle the size of the
box This request of ours has now
been granted by the barrel users.
Recently conference was held be-
fore the house committee on coinage,
weights and measures and an agree
ment reached. A reporter who was
present makes the following state
ment: 1.-The hearing was remarkable
for three things; first, the extent of
the territory represented second, the
unanimity of the endorsement shown !;
third, the coming together Of the East
aud the West in peace in co-opera-
ton" The occasion of this meeting
and conference was a hearing in COM
mittee of the Sulzer bill on standard
grades and packages. Representatives
in large numbers from the apple grow
ing sections of the United States were
present. What made peace between
the barrel men and the box men was
the very sensible action of the East
ern men who said to the Western
men: 1.-The box and the barrel sec
tions are entirely two different pro-
posi- tions and the wishes of the North
west to decide first for themselves
should be respected" No wonder
that peace and harmony reigned for
this is all we have ever conteDded for.
A brief statement of this contention
may not be out of place: First after
much elaboration we settled on a
box for apple growers in the North
west. This box has been known as
the "Standard apple box 1t holds

% cubic inches more than the Win
chester bushel which is the recogniz-
ed bushel of the United States. In
settling on the size of this box ex
tensive conferences we're held among
fruit growers, commission men and
railroad men. Second, the fruit
growers in the East tried to destroy
this box. Congressman Porter of the
state of New York introduced a bill
to regulate the size of the apple box
which would have added about one
fourth to the size of our box. We
fought that bill and it was killed.
Third, Congressman Lafean of Pen
nsylvania introduced bill to regulate
the size of the apple box. Had this
bill become a law we would have been
compelled to add nearly 200 cubic in
ches to the size of our box. 1t was
hard fight to defeat that bill but it
was done. Prof. J. l.. Dumas deserves
much credit for what he did in kill
ing that BILL Many other deserving
men helped in that good work and
Senator Jones deserves much credit
for his help in this matter.
We have still lived in fear that some
bill unjust to the fruit growers who
use the box would finally be pushed
through congress and we would suffer
as the consequence But now that
peace has been declared we can breathe
easy. But we must be vigilant lest
some foolish thing should be sprung
upon us for 1.-THE fools are not all
dead vet" Now that the matter is
left to US we should take the proper
steps to see that congress recognizes
our standard box as the legal box OF
the country. We should have con-
gress standarize some apple box and
we fully believe that our box will
win this distinction if the matter is
properly presented.
One of the objections to our apple
box that has Influenced good many
honest people is the oft repeated state
ment that "the Western apple box
does not hold bushel.'' This false
statement has been many times re-
futed but | wish to mention two cases

Our trees are not
''pedigreed'

They are grown from scions pro-
cured from reputable bearing or
chards. They are not pedigreed,
neither is there pedigreed tree be-
ing sold today, and those who adj
vertise "pedigreed" stock are de-
ceiving you. You can't any more
pedigree an apple tree by gazing at
the tree, eating the fruit and pro-
nouncing it 'first-class" and putting
a blue or red mark on the bark than
you can pedigree COW by examln-
ing her teeth, drinking her milk
and admiring her calf. It takes a
record to warrant pedigree and
the wise fruitmen are tired of this
claim of 'pedigreed trees" by every
Tom, Dick and Harry who is his
own Judge, jury and expert on every
variety in every land and cline.
What you want to know is whether
or not the parentage is true,
clean, healty strain, whether
the man who grows and sells the
trees is responsible and has the sys-
tenn of grating, budding, planting,
marking, growing, digging, grading
and shipping that gets you what
you order.
Well, we have all that and we guarantee
everything we sell and we welcome your
bnsiness and YOUR most careful inspection
of our stock and our methods Last season
we filled nearly twelve thousand individual
orders. Next month Well tell you what
some of the customers said.

particularly where this statement has
been successfully met. At the recent
land show held in st. Paul a lot OF
Northwestern apples were on exhibit
ton. A man went to that show, ac-
cord1ng to his own statement, to find
a package that would hold bushel
but contended that he could not do it
and succeeded in getting his state
ment published in daily paper of
that city. According to statement
published in the Fruit Grower this is
the way the matter ended: 1.-The
apple growers from Washington did
not argue with this man for one
minute. They went to the state com
missioner of weights and measures
for Minnesota and obtained from him
a sealed bushel basket. In the
presence of this commissioner and
one of bis assistants a commercial
box of apples was opened and the
contents filled the basket SO that it
was we'll rounded up. The box con-
tanned heaping bushel of fruit. "
That is what we might call "knock
down argument.
Another valuable illustration is one
furnished by e. F. Benson in his
valuable address delivered at the
meeting of the Washington State
Horticultural Association in Clarks-
ton, Washington, last January. Mr..
Benson was sent by the Northern
Pacific Railroad to the New York
Land Show held at Madison Square
Garden, New York City, November
3rd to 18th, 1911. Here he found the
same old song that our box does not
hold bushel. Here is how Benson
met this old objection: ''We sue
ceeded. through the help of the presi-
dent and secretary of the Interna-
tional Commission Merchants AS
ISOLATION, in getting Mr.. John L..
Walsh the commissioner of weights
and measures of New York City and
his chief deputy to visit our exhibit
at Madison Square Garden. We
showed them two of their half-bushel
measures beaped up high with apples
taken from one of our packed boxes.
These measures bore the commits
sioner's brand. Then we showed
them a box heaped up with apples
thrown in loosely that had been taken
from box the same size properly
packed. We also proved to them that
our box was larger than a bushel at
which the commissioner suggested that
it might be we'll TO cut it down to
Just an even bushel. Some one sug-
gested that box ought to be just
one third of barrel and that appeal
ed to him very forcibly. Our box
demonstration made quite hit with
him, however, and the next day he
sent his deputy down to pier twenty,
where most of the boxed apples are
handled, and investigations there con
vinced him that our box demonstra-
ton was all right. Something is 60
inc to be done soon towards establish
ing one standard apple box, and since
our apple box is desirable, why not
work to have it adoptedY"
In another part of Mr.. Benson's adj
dress at Charleston he says: Many
