like every other product, has had it's
its years of good prices and low prices.
When financial conditions are good,
general business prosperous, even with
big yields we can expect fair prices,
but when general business is de-
pressed, low prices may prevail, even
though the apple crop be compara-
lively small. The condition of BUSH
ness and the size of the apple crop
are factors affecting values. All val
ues are subject to the influence of the
law of supply and demand.
| shall endeavor to show how in a
measure we can circumvent by proper
methods this law. I mean with a
fixed quantity our supply equal to the
normal demand that certain policies
of business can be adopted. which will
increase the normal demand. If we
can stimulate and increase the de-
mand it follows that We can secure
better prices. Practically all apple
growers of the northwest are COM
p~aratively new in the business. Few
are aware of the fact that the apple

high and low prices, big yields and
light crops, many times before we be-
came engaged in the business, and,
therefore, the 1912 conditions are sim
ply a repetition of past experience.
In 1910 l made a trip east, visiting
about As Of the principal marketing
sections of the United States, and
many of the apple producing districts.
I found many commercial apple or
chards about so or 60 years of age.
On account of the large acreages of
this age it was evident that 60 years
ago apples must have been selling at
extremely satisfactory prices. AS
many of these orchards were after
wards neglected, it is also evident thai
a depression in the apple business oc-
Cured after the orchards referred tc
came into bearing, otherwise these or
chards would not have been neglected
In the year 1896 the United States
produced $4,000, 900 barrels of apples
which is evidence that previous to 1891
prices must have beer satisfactory

was light and We shipped practically
all of 1t to a few large cities liko
Chicago, New York. Boston and Phila-
delphia, which eagerly took our output
at satisfactory prices. In the year
1917 our crop was much larger, still
we pursued the same methods. We
nave not done anything to create now
trade or to increase consumption pre-
vious TO the veal 1912, nor did we
realize early enough in the year 1912
the necessity of doing any more to
market the crop successfully than we
had done in the past. Our apples
rolled by the carload and the trainload
to the big centers. We shipped to the
big cities a supply in excess of their
demand, consequently our apples went
on the auction market. You know
the result. We depressed these mar
kets with our quantity. You know
that when apples are selling at $3.50
per box in Chicago that it Is impos-
b to sell other towns at a better
price. The dealers in surrounding
towns know the Chicago price and
will not pay more because they can
order through a broker from Chicago.
There is a remedy for this. If we will
supply these large cities with a GUAM
ttty in accordance with their require
ments we will not depress these mar
kets, and by maintaining proper prices
in the large cities We can maintain
prices in all surrounding towns and
sell direct to them at the same price.
Again I state emphatically that the
apple producers are not organized, and
have not followed regular established
business methods. Under such condl-
lions we certainly are not in a posi-
ton to compete with other agencies,
which are we'll organized, who distri-
butte fruits like the banana and or
ange. We have done nothing in the
last 10 years to create a wider distri-
button or greater consumption of APP
pies. In fact, the consumption has re-
manned more or less stationary, yet
during this period. through a well or
ganized agency, the banana industry
increased from $5,s77, 1913 in the year
1910 to $14. 1856, 800 in the year 1912, or

EVILS OF 1912 APPLE MARKET AND THE REMEDIES
By E. H SHEPARD EDITOR OF BETTER FRUIT, HOOD WR ORE

1t is frequently remarked that no
two years in the apple business are
alike. l might d that the year 1912
that | know anything about. Many
apple growers seem to think the apple
business is a business peculiar to it
self and unlike any other business,
Such is not the case. There are bust
ness principles which must be followed,
which are essential to the success OF
every business, the apple business the
same as any other. h same princi-
pes are practical lin creating a de-
mand, distributing, land marketing the
apple crop as are used in whole
sale business, or the disposition of the
output of any factory. 1t is evident
from a review of u past methods
that we have not conducted the apple
business on business principles. 1t is
also true that in past years we have
felt that our apples would practically
sell themselves. We have done moth
ing to create a demand for u apples
or to increase consumption. In fact,
we have not even sold our apples. Our
quantity was small, the quality attrac-

BEAUTY" BEACH ON THE
STAND IN OWN TRIAL
Aiken, S. c., Feb. 6.-Freder-
lex o. ("Beauty'') Beach, million
aire and society favorite, took the
stand today at his own trial for
murderous assault upon his wife.
Beach said he was 81, and that
he regarded Aiken as his home.
He said that he, Mrs. Beach
and Marion HolIins were alone at
home on the night of Feb. 20,
1912, and that Miss Hollins went
to bed about 9 o'clock.
Soon after, while he and his
wife were in the sitting room, he
said, they heard first one scream
and then another, but pald no at
tentiOn.
A few minutes later, Mrs.
Beach went to put her dogs out of
the house. She closed the door
behind her, Beach said, and a
minute later he heard her scream.
Beach said he went to the door
and saw Mrs. Beach standing at
a corner of, the porch. A dark
figure ran past him. He ran to
his wife.
What has happened?" Beach
says he cried.
my wife answered; oh, he's

The defense introduced the
clothes Beach wore that night as
evidence. The coat was stained
with blood. There was no blood
on the waistcoat:
Then the knife, which has fig
ured so prominently in the prose-
cution's theory, was brought in.
Attorney Byrnes handed it to
Beach and asked him if he could
identify it.
That's my knife" Beach said.
But it is not now as it was when

PEACE DELEGATES
VISIT MR.. WILSON
Foreign ENJOYS Approve Vice
Presidents Views.

Washington. May 13.--The interna
tional peace delegates who are perfect
ing plans for the celebration of the
Tooth anniversary of the signing of the
treaty Of Client and of peace among
English-speaking peoples in December
next year, came to Washing on and
called upon President Wilson, Secre-
tary Bryan and other officers of the
government.
The delegates called upon Secretary
Bryan Immediately after their arrival
and were received by him in his Offices
in the state department. He told them
that in the long continued peace be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain there was lesson for all ma
tions, and this theme he elaborated
later in his address at the banquet
Lord Weardale, head of the British
delegation, made a brief response.
When the party arrived at the CAPT
toll later, the house of representatives
was about to convene, but the dele
gates were received by Speaker Clark
in his Office. He had them escorted to
the house gallery, where they remain
ed until the brief session ended. A
visit to the congressional library &C.
cupied a brief space before a visit to
Vice President Marshall was made.
Apparently what Mr.. Marshall had |
to say made a deep impression upon |
the delegates. There were mods of ap |
prevail and several of the callers made |
audible comments, agreeing with ex
pressions of the vice president. Mr..
Marshall said he was convinced that !
practically ali DIFFERENCES between ma
lions are possible of settlement if sub
mitted to the arbitrament of fair-mind
ed men.
A statement outlining the proposed
plan for the celebration Of the cen
tenary in all English-speaking coun.
tries was made public by Andrew B.
secretary of the American
committee. This will be submitted to
the respective governments with the
request that it be approved and aid in
carrying it out be given.

IS CONFIDENT IN

Wilson SaysNsg0tia
Entered Serious Phase,
El".GES ON NATURALIZATION

Japan's Protest Is Not Based on
Treaty, But Upon Effort to Discrimi-
nate on Ground of lnelisibiIity to
Citizenship.
Washington, May 13. - President
Wilson believes negotiations beeWeen
Japan and the United States over tne
alien land legislation in California IS
not in an alarming stage, but that the
interchange of views thus far had
been along frank and friendly lines
He appeared confident that a sd I5Iac-
tory adjustment would be accom-
plished.
The president took the position that
the Webb bill would not viola e the
treaty between Japan and tie United
States. He intimated that Japan's pro-
test was not based upon the treaty,
but upon the feeling that there was an
effort to discriminate against japanese
on the ground of their alleged ineligi-
bility to citizenship.
The president revealed that the
QUESTION al HAUL dllLdI4Ol heAN nv ) %
entered the discussion, but that, IN
DERIVING the bill, it was realized that
federal courts had not finally passed
upon the question of eligibility.
It was upon the basis that Japanese
were not accorded the privileges OF
citizenship that the appearance of dis
elimination written in ethe bill had
arisen and it was intimated at the
White House that for the present the
hope was that the legislation in Cali
fornia either would be vetoed or de-
layed by a referendum to permit the
shooting over of some features of the
situation.
The conferences thus far between
Secretary Bryan and Viscount Chinda
were described as being those OF "one
gentleman to another" many d.plo-
matte formalities even being dispensed
with.
The intimations that the protest was
couched neither in vigorous nor ag-
gressive language, but was formal and
friendly in character, came from the
president, and it was pointed out that
the phrase "a very earnest protest, !"
employed by Secretary Bryan in his
message to Governor Johnson was the
description of the note which the
American government had entertained
rather than the emphasis Of the Japa-
nese ambassador.
The fact that Secretary Bryan ad-
dressed an appeal to Governor john
son, of California, to veto the Webb
bill, inasmuch as the governor had
unofficially at least repeatedly declared
his purpose to sign the measure, is
taken in official circles as indicating
either that some powerful influences
have been brought to bear upon the
governor in the interest of delay, or
more probably that the Wilson admin
istration Is perfecting it's record.
