The severe cold spell last week, fol-
lowing that terrific windstorm really
hit the lower valley harder than it did
Gunnison. In Montross the tempera-
ture went to four below zero, and in
Grand Juuction and Paonia to I'VE, eight
and even ten below, while here we had
. low record Of eight But the worst
Of It was that In the valleys west Of Us
there were hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars worth Of sugar beets frozen into
the ground. and they will probably re.
main there al winter. taking chances
Of rotting during the January thaws.
Also. around Grand Junction good
many apples were frozen. and potato
warehouses. where only sheet iron sid
ing protected the spuds, are going to
record heavy losses. No trouble like
that here. At least ws haven't heard
Of any cattle getting their tails frozen
into the ground.

So, 700 at the warehouse. In consider
ing this matter P. s. Davidson, who
presided at Saturdays meeting, stated
that the board Of directors should not
be considered extrsvsgant; that the
salaries paid should be considered in
the light Of services rendered and the
efficiency Of the force employed. Mr..
Davidson complimented the different
departments of the organization on the
manner in which they had cooperated
for the best interests of the organiza-
tion during the past year.
In his talk Saturday afternoon MIR.
Sieg warned against the evil of over
estimation. He called attention to the
figures compiled by Gordon G. Corbs-
ley, of Spokane. who has placed the
northwest's crop of apples all the way
from 5000 to $4,000 carloads. Mr..
Sieg pointed out that the facts of acre
age would make such statements physi-
cally impossible.
Mr.. Sieg told Of the hurtful practice
Of misbranding of local apples the past
year, some cooking grade fruit having
been sent to England by growers IN
boxes placarded with labels almost par
allel with those of the Diamond brands
of the Association. The exporters had
used heart instead of diamond, and
had made the statements that extra
fancy, Hood Rivers best apples, had
been shipped, when in fact the stock
was cooking grade in quality. He also
pointed out that Association brands had
been used in private shipments made to
Portland. 1t is likely that such prac-
tice will lead to prosecution by the
United States because of the violation
of Pure Food laws, and the Oregon
Dairy and Food Commission is now
making shippers of such misbranded
product repack the fruit.
Mr.. Sieg said that the Association
was looking out for South American
business, but that ii promised at pres
ent only TO deal with buyers there on
an T. o. b. New York basis, receiving
their pay on delivery at the Atlantic
seaboard. having the fruit inspected
there He said that Australia had leg
islated against the Northeastern box,
and that Washington districts, because
of their early maturity, were shipping
fruit there in boxes made to conform
to requirements.
Mr.. Sieg urged members of the Asso-
citation to heed calls for estimates, tell
ing of the results Of their failures to do
so with respect to crops of last year.
Mr.. kimball made report of the re-
cent advertising campaign begun by
the Association in Portland.
