Capital News Special service)


Payette, Dec 1S.-The Payette Cold
Storage company is shipping the last
OF the 5000 cases of eggs which have
been held in storage here. The great
er part OF these eggs were shipped
here from all over the state for stor-
age. by the Jensen Creamery COM
pany of Salt Lake and have been NOV
ing out to different markets Of the
northwest for the last two months.
Sixty thousand boxes Of apples are
yet in storage. the greater part be-
ing such varieties as Ben Davis Ganos
and Winesaps, for which no satisfac-
tory price is being offered just now.
This is usually the case with these va.
rieties at this time of year. but after
the holidays. prices are invariably good
for the above-named apples, owing to
their late keeping qualities. Orchard
lists are now receiving returns on their
fall shipments which in some cases are
very satisfactory, and in others quite
the reverse. In view of the fact that
the apple crop was an immense one
all over the country. the prices re-
ceived are not considered bad, an aver
age of so and rs cents per box being
Melted by the greater part of the
growers. The Arkansas Black, which
commands the highest price of any
apple grown in this section. brought
the grower this year from $3.50 to $3.50
T. o. b. New Plymouth. More Of this
variety is being planted every year as
buyers are eager to get them and al
ways willing to pay a good price.
