FRUIT OPERATORS
OPINION IS TIMELY
Indicates That Apples Should
Bring Good Prices This Year.

The following opinion OF well
known apple opeator recently ap-
peared In Fruit Mems Guide:
"A man needs to use his brains
as well as his money in buying this
year. 1t is unlike any year in the
history OF the apple business. There
are no precedents. We are in UP 10
our necks with the biggest war in
the history Of the world.
This year it is necessary to think
Of more different things in buying
apples than ever before. The Gov
eminent is running the finances Of
thercountry and credits are not sub
ject to exactly the'same laws' as
formerly.
Il believe in looking all the facts
square in the face.
''This apple season is at least t.Fo
weeks earlier than last year, and
many Of the varieties will get into
Consumption earlier than usual. The
Government Crop Report indicates
that the commercial apple crop OF
the United States is only slightly
larger than last year. The New
York State crop is large enough tc
offset the extreme shortage in the
Middle West. Boxed apple shipment
from the entire territory between
the Rocky Mountains and the Pa
cihc Coast will be between four and
five thousand cars short of las
year. US
Here are some points worth re
membering: Bananas are high ant
scarce. Probably continue scarce
throughout the winter. Sugar il
high, and under such regulations
that the use for canning purpose
