EDUCATING APPLE EATERS

To educate the eastern consumer
and some of the dealers to the fact
that the northwestern apples have the
best flavor of any on earth, If eaten
at the proper season of the year, the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors are
formulating a comprehensive cam
paign of education, which they hope
will effectively dispose of the popular
eastern bromide that western apples
look we'll, but lack the favor Tor
all time. Any lack of flavor, it Is
aruged is due to the fact that un1n-
formed fasteners eat western apples
at the wrong season of the year.
The principal medium in this cam
paign will be calendar on which
is stated the exact time during the
year when each variety of apple from
each northwestern district is at its
prime for eating and cooking. The
time of maturity differs for the same
variety in different districts. 1nfor-
nation is being gathered from every
northwestern district which will show
the different varieties Of each, the per-
centage of each variety of the total
crop, the percentage of sizes and the
dates of picking. For summer ap-
pies, the month of maturity, and for
winter apples the common month OF
storage maturity will be stated.
The Yakima Valley Fruit Growers
association was the pioneer in this
movement and G. T. Hamilton, its
chief inspector, prepared such a calen
dar applying to early and late dis
tricts. The distributors calendar will
be somewhat more extensive and
more specific as to dates for differen
districts.
The information is being gathered
under the supervision of H. G. Samp
son, secretary of the distributors. HI
