deferment reasons, for while the com
pany's direct loss was not great as
compared to other properties, general
business had been handicapped be-
cause of inability of The railroads to

Another of the reasons ascribed is the
fact that many of the MinneQua works

Washington Harvest Heavy

Washington easily holds first place in
the United States in 1927 in apple pro-
duction. The tonnage September /, as
estimated by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, 6,543,OO0 barrels
of commercial apples, is nearly double
that of the nearest producer, New
York, which is credited by the same
authority with 3,707,000 barrels. All
government estimates are given in
barrels. There are approximately three
northwestern boxes in an eastern bar
rel.
Washington in 1921 will produce
about one-third of all the apples in the
United States. The estimate for the
nation is 19, 500, 600 barrels.
The Pacific northwest, which includes
Washington, Oregon, Montana and
Idaho, with 8.485, 900 barrels, or 25,-
455, 900 boxes. has about 43 per cent OF
the nations commercial apples.
The government figures put the
northwestern crop this year at $500
cars, the record for the industry. The
1920 figure, according to the same
authority, was "a, 900 cars.
1t is significant that while the ton
mage for the nation has fallen off 90
per cent in 1921 under 1920 and the
tonnage of the six big apple-crop pro
ducing states, outside of the north
west, has fallen off about 70, the
northwest tonnage has actually in
creased 80 per cent and Washington 8
apple crop has increased IA per cent
over 1920. That can only mean better
prices for the northwestern grower
because of the shortage in competing
districts. This has been demonstrated
already this season.

WHITE SALMON DIS
TRICT Is PROGRESSING

Geo. K. Wilbur, who has charge Of
organizing an irrig alton district among
fruitgrowers of the White Salmon and
Husum districts, states that officials
are now completing the first assess
ment roll of the new district Two
dollars per acre will be assessed land
owners under the district this year. in
order to raise funds for preliminary
work. Because of the condition of the
bond market it is not anticipated that
an effort will be made to sell any Sc
curities until next spring, Mr.. Wilbur
says. He also declares that the lack
of comprehensive irrigation laws re-
suits in delays in the formation of an
irrigation district in the neighboring
state. Oregon's irrigation laws, MIR.
Wilbur says, are much more complete
and more easily applied.
The estimated cost of the proposed
system for the Washington fruitgrow-
ers is placed at $500, 600. Water will
be diverted from the headwaters. of the
Lewis river to the White Salmon river.
A flume will tap the latter stream
north of Husum.
