FRUIT GROWERS
IN SESSION
APPLE ) CROP REPORTS SHOW
DECREASE OVER 1914 IN NEW
YoRk-GooD CROP IN MIDDLE.
WEST.

The quarterly meeting of the Trus-
tees of North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors' is being held this week
in Spokane. 1t is being attended at
tended by D. l.. Ingard of Fruitland
and Mr.. ]. H. Lowell of Parma,
Trustees for the Idaho-Oregon Fruit
Growers Association 1t is expected
that the latest report as to the apple
and prune crops will be gone over
at this meeting and the subject of
opening prices considered.
Recent reports from the Will
liamette Valley show prunes consider
ably damaged from brown rot and
reports from The Dalles are to the
effect that the drought is interfer-
ing with the development of prunes
in that section.
In the Boise Valley the late crop
has been heavy and there seems to
be no reason for fearing the great
slump in prices that were so freely |
predicted earlier in the season by
local dealers in the Boise Valley. 1t |
is to be regretted that exaggerated re-
ports of the size of the Idaho\ prune
crop were spread broadcast over the
country.
The apple crop reports show a
heavy decrease over 1914 in New
York but good crop in the Middle
West. Canada shows falling off
from the early high estimates. Colo
nado and Utah light and marked
decrease over 1914 in most of the
North Western Districts.
Mr. Paine, Inspector for the Idaho
Oregon Subj Central is now making
his final estimate and so far as he
has been, reports apples in excellent
condition with slight raise in his
former estimate in most localities.
AS a pointer showing the crop
conditions in the Southwest, where
much of our fruit finds a market
we quote the following from the
Oklahoma agent of the Distributors.
Writing from Oklahoma City, he
says: "There is an abundant supply ,
of home grown fruit. Elberta peaches
are a drag on the market, 35 to SOC
per bushel basket for the finest
peaches ever grown. General crop
conditions were never better Don't
believe they were ever so good.
Our Farmers have harvested one OF
the largest crops of wheat and oats c
they ever had. This also applies to U
alfalfa with the largest corn crop I
assured they ever had. Together with a
the other feed crops, live stock, poul- e

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

The revival of railroad earnings
during the last two months again
demonstrates that the carriers of the
country do not lead in bringing about
prosperity but reflect the general con-
dition of commerce, says American In
dustries for December. Railroad earn
ings depend on the volume of traffic,
and for this reason their earnings lag
somewhat behind those of the manu-
featuring and extractive industries.
When the country was first deluged
with orders occasioned by the Euro
pean war the railroads did not ex-
perience the general prosperity of
other lines. There was then a sur
plus of cars and an abundance of ter
minal facilities. Conditions, however,
have now changed in regard to the
carriers. The great volume of manu-
featured goods ordered by the Euro
pean belligerents is moving forward
to destination. The railroads are be-
ginning to get their share of the busi-
ness prosperity brought to the coun-
try There was nothing unusual in
the situation of the roads several
months ago. They were waiting for
the completion of manufacturing
processes before they could obtain
their share of tie prosperity pie. The
situation is different now; there is a
glut of freight on the eastern sea-
board, particularly at New York.
where the port terminal facilities are
overcrowded- Two of the best
equipped railroads of the country, the
Pennsylvania and the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western are complaining
that they are unable to load cars at
New York because of a scarcity of
cargo room and terminal facilities. In

normal times when traffic moves for
ward with reasonable regularity. and
the presence of freight at any port is
sufficient to attract bottoms to carry
it, meagre terminal facilities have suf-
feed. The rapid handling of freight
serves to prevent congestion, but the
terminals are inadequate because of
sion for handling an abnormal amount
of freight, and that is the reason why
the railroads are complaining of a
shortage of cars, and the middle west
unavailingly demands them, and pro-
tests when hey are not Forthcoming.
1t is worse than useless for the rail-
roads to continue to improve their ia
cilities for transporting freight to the
Atlantic seaboard if it is to be con-
gested there. The federal government
and the city of New York must do
their part in improving port condi-
lions and upbuilding a merchant ma
rine. Despite the congested condi-
tons of traffic, the government for
which could handle the freight when
it arrives at ports. The great rail-
roads of Canada are encouraged to
enter into just this business, and it is
of the United States which makes it
for our railroads to do the
same thing.
