Bear in mind that the figures just
given are dealing only with boxed
apples known as fancy and extra
fancy, or better known on the general
market as 64s and SIS, there being
that number of apples to the bushel
The West has now finished its ship
ment of apples while the Delaware
apple grower has just begun, for our
principal method of shipping is IN
barrels known as No Is, No. Is and
Culls. Even the specked and bruised
apples have a ready sale at profita-
BILE prices.
"If the Delaware apple should sell
at only $500 per barrel. $1.OO per
bushel. instead of from $500 to $500,
as we have been getting, we could
pay our stockholders magnificent
dividends.
"The Western grower comedies
these figures as. facts. but he claims
they still have three trump cards:

is correct, I should think he would

apples from the Northwest 10 the
points of distribution as to freight
! them to the coast, then send by the
Panama Canal to the same points.
"As to quality-oh. you western
boomers, the East is on to you. They
have paid their high prices for your
/ land, they have been dazzled by the
shine of that big red apple. but. they
have now had a taste of that famous
Delaware and they know that your
quality is only skin deep.

management. Have a care, watch

full organization with $4,000 carloads
of apples to sell is what ] would
term in the stock market a bull. They
must manipulate this market to the
best advantage. To dump all these
apples on the market at one time
would mean destruction. out tnsy are
too wise for that They naturall,
start the price low and when the
wholesale dealers take hold they OH
the bear side of the market. Thos

They are loaded up with $4,000 car

The Eastern grower must figure ou
his cost of production and when ap
pies touch the Western cost of pro
duction and handling, you had bette
4 unload and take your profits. Don
wait until it is too late, when in thu
near future there is going to be
