Shipped Returns TO Growers
Above Normal

The prediction based on actual re-
turns SO far secured from apple sales
and on every Indication that the mar
ket will continue firm until the last
box of fruit is sold, it will be safe to
say that the l9lS-l9l9 apple deal will
be one of the best in years for the
Hood River valley. The condition is
taken as an evidence by growers and
market men Of many years experience
as the forerunner Of better things for
the Orchardlsts. While no one proph-
estes any return TO the sensational
prices that ruled when the big red and
| yellow apples We're novelties on the
eastern metropolis markets, no return
OF the lean years, such as growers
have experienced since 1912, while the
orcharding industry was in process of
readJustment, is expected. Growers
| and shippers alike are coming to con
sider their products more of a staple
commodity.
Since harvest began fruit has been
moving in a steady stream to distribu-
tion points While temporary delays
have been experienced, no serious
hampering of fruit movements has re-
suited this year from a shortage Of
refrigerator ears. Up to last Thurs
day the Apple Growers Association
had shipped 7S4 carloads Of apples.
Shipments by other concerns brought
the total to more than the l. coo mark.
| 1t is estimated that not more than 500
ears viii be needed to handle the bal
ance of the crop here, much of which
has been sold and is being held in stor-
age for purchasers.
While interpretations of local ship.
pers on the results in exports to follow
the lifting Of the British embargo are
at a wide variance, all are agreed that
the action Of the British government
has done much toward stimulating do
nestle markets.
There is more Of tone Of prosperity
! among growers this season than fol
the past several years, and despite
the fact that much money is going out
in purchase Of Liberty Bonds the
banks are showing record statements
Making advances on the basis Of 81
cents per box to all growers who askec
for 1t, the Association has already ap
portioned to its members approximate
