Mf east SHIPS APPLES WEST
ykex1ern New York Has Invaded West
With Its Bumper Crops.

twenty-five million four hundred
-Snsuusand is the figure.
No, not bullets used in the European
wzx. apples that will have been ship
Md to the west and middle west from
Wess1ern New York before the 1914
sh1ppng season is over. That estimates
wzS made yesterday by Seth I. J.
35Axh. manager of the Eastern Fruit
znG Produce exchange, which probably
wIA ship good many Of the twenty
tWO million apples.
This figure, according to Mr.. Bush,
n larger than ever before because
ner~ law compels Western New York
xrEwers to pay more attention to sort
ING and packing their apples. 1t has
long been known to apple men and to
11pple consumers that the Western New
York apple has no peer in the world
Esr Flavor. The westerners, realizing
elfs ftitility of attempting to compete
i& gIavor, began to improve the out
ward appearance of their product and
e-hn5r packing methods.
How Westerners Won Trade
The result was that in few years
Bhss Westerners began to make great
nns1als into the foreign and domestic
m.ar kets tnat had hitherto demanded
Western New York apples almost ex-
s.sssxaveiy. Western New York growers
began to see the reason, and for two OF
xhst.e years there has been agitation
x0r' improved packing methods in the

Bsaah, that lost trade is. turning back
tn western New York. S->-"--f' ~
Apple Day, will, of course, be of
greater significance in Rochester and
IT'S vicinity this year and the business
rm@n and apple growers are making
s3Azns to celebrate it worthily.
Fasteners and Westerners have
etasn recently been fully justified in
ESEecting Eastern apples" said Mr..
Hush, "but the new law compels New
York state growers to pack barrels
Vxzah fruit of uniform grade, SO that
h3yers know just what they are buy
sRx. The trouble heretofore has been
qsfszst severy one felt reasonably certain
nG finding bad apples fit for moth
ing Eut pig feed carefully hidden away
eA.zseath the attractive fruit that was
carefully laid out on top of the east
gGzn barrel The new law has correct
I'd these conditions, since it requires
growers to indicate on each barrel
gHGr their names whether or not the
Guntents are scabby, wormy, diseased
swaten Tor fungous."
VIII Fill 1000 Freight Cars
1t Will take 1000 freight cars to
take the Western New York apples to
skSa west this year. The opportunity to
seM eastern apples in the west is par
Ekc4llarly good, according to Mr.. Bush
since western growers complain much
SnaB year of worms and diseases in
ffaear fruit
