pies, In previous years wiping and
grading cost me from 10 cents to II
cents per box This year, the cost of
grading and Wiping being omitted, was
2 cents per box on -Newtowns, a say
ing of about 10 scents per box in the
packing house.
The packing house presents another
field for further economy. Most
growers at present are packing under
most inconvenient arrangements, an
other extra expense. A packing house
should be so planned and arranged
hat tho apples coming in from the or
Chard will enter one door and go out
the other door, packed, ready for ship
ment without any unnecessary extra
handling, We are all prone to do
things in the same way we have been
doing them, because it is human ma
turc. The brick mason for centuries
has laid brick in the same old fash
Toned way. An individual, through
search and ingenuity, succeeded in
perfecting a system of handling the
brick which resulted in reducing the
motions used in laying from eight
cen to two. This is just what we want
to do in handling the apple crop-cut
out the necessary motions and reduce
the expense.
Another evil which has brought
grief on our heads is our grade. For
several years, we of the northwest,
We're earnest and sincere in our en-
deayOr to create a reputation for cur
apples, through our high-class grade,
but, alas, we, like other human NOR
tails, after having established a repu-
%tation, became careless. We did not
realize what a discriminating public
we had to deal with.
We can achieve our reputation again,
which, in a measure, We nave lost.
There is a remedy. We must put up
a grade which is absolutely perfect
in accordance with the specifications
for that grade, and, furthermore, we
must guarantee that grade. If we will
do it, and we must, we will again re-
store confidence in our quality. This
means increased demand, which
means a greater consumption, the one
thing we are always seeking.
While | am talking about grades,
it seems proper to introduce the SUBJ
ject of b~y-products. Without facili-
ties for d~isposing of our inferior APP
pies 1t is human nature to crown the
grade. We need creameries, evapora-
tors, driers, cider mills and vinegar
factories. If We cannot get private
companies to build such institutions,
We ourselves, the fruit growers, must
do it, and make them cooperative.

EVILS OF 1912 APPLE MARKET MI REMEDIES

growing sections will take this matter
up with their local papers and the big
dailies in our commercial centers, the
sentiment will spread and it won't be
long before the press of the entire
United States will be educating the
people as to what they should pay,
retail, for a dozen apples or a box Of
apples.
The public is complaining about the
high cost of living. The press stand
ready to exploit this suggestion, yet
we sit idly by without giving them the
information that would reduce the ex-
orbitant retail prices on our apples.
The high cost of living is the popular
topic of the day. Let us fruit grow
ers start the BAH rolling and / assure
you, gentlemen. if we do, it will, like a
SNOWFALL rolling down hill, gather vol
ume and force as it goes. The result
will be inevitable. Lower retail prices
mean greater consumption, greater
consumption means a greater demand.
That, gentlemen, is what we want in
the apple business today.
Every association should make ar
engagements with the jobbers whom
they supply to pace an advertisement
in their local papers. Such advertise
ment should state that John Smith &
co. are carrying Winesap, Rome
Beauties, Jonathans, Spitzenburgs
and Newtowns, and mention the dis
tricts from which these come. In adj
dition it should state the wholesale
prices. l believe it will be possible
to make arrangements so tina the
dealer would advertise that our ap-
