CARS FRUIT
ALREADY SIGNED UP

AS result of the meeting OF
Hanford-White Bluffs apple grow.
ers at the First Bank last FRIDAY
night, F. E. Olleman informs the
Spokesman, the Growers Ware.
house, up to Thursday night, had
contracts signed with the growers
of the district for IL cars; that
other growers had signified their
intention of signing for enough to
fill six cars, and that there is a
possibility of getting about eight
cars more, making grand total of
25 cars that will possibly enter the
selling pool in what is termed the
cleanup sale"
The Wright Fruit company of
North Yakima are the buyers and
they are making the transaction
direct with the Growers Ware
house. Their plan of having the
fruit go through the warehouse
is to get-not perfect pack, as
some seem to thipk-but uniform
pack.
The sale contract is made direct
with the Growers Warehouse, who
in turn contracts with the grower.
This contract provides that no car
shall leave the yards until the cash
for it is in the First Bank. The
following is the list of prices to be
paid per box for the apples:
Stayman Winesaps, rs cents for
all grades, C grade and fancy to be
packed together.
Spitzenbergs, IS cents for c
grade and fancy and 80 cents for
extra fancy.
Rome Beauty, IS cents for all
three grades.
Old Winesaps, 80 cents for extra
fancy and IS cents for c grade
and fancy.
Newtowns and Arkansas Blacks,
80 cents for extra fancy and 85
cents for G grade and fancy.
These are the prices that will be
received by the Growers Warehouse.
From this the warehouse takes out
u cents per box selling charge and
29a cents for material and labor
and for packing and loading. This
includes the box, the making Of the
box, nails. paper, sorting, packing,
mailing, loading and bracing of the
car. Those who have gone over
the different variety of the crop
that will be marketed in this deal
say that the average net price to
the grower will be about 48 cents
per box.
The apples from Hanford that go
out in this shipment will be packed
in the Carpenter & Co. packing shed
there, the Growers Warehouse hav-
ing leased it for that purpose.
