Newell Grader Attracts Growers

Timothy Newell, who has been work
ing the past two years on improve
ments for an apple grading machine,
has put out model for this year that
is attracting widespread attention of
growers. The machine, demonstrated
here the past week in the Hood River
Garage display room, has been seen by
many growers.
The apples are fed on wide, end
less belt of rollers that constantly turn
over, thus allowing sorters to see all
parts of the apples and to detect any
defects. The perfect fruit is carried
by belts to cups that size them accur-
ately by system of counter weights.
Mr.. Newell, who will place his grading
machine on the market in all north
western fruit districts. has arranged to
have them manufactured in Portland.

In the number of fruit trees of bear
ing age the figures for the 1910 and
1920 periods are as follows:

nouncement from Washington, will
soon be given an opportunity to take
examinations. Thomas F. Johnson and
W. b. Heath are the applicants. The
latter, however, since filing his appli-
cation, has sold his property and has
moved to Portland. Mr.. Johnson, the
other applicant, is serving his fifth

will be made until his term expires

In going over the totals by divisions
it is found that Oregon, Washington
and California had more than one
quarter of the total apple yield of the
nation in 1919, but only have about
one-ninth of the acreage IN bearing
This proves that the Coast states
trees are the heaviest producers.
American production of apples has
fallen away rather heavily in the 1909
1919 decade, while there has been a
heavy increase in the peach yield and
the number of bearing trees in the
latter. The Pacific states have shown
great increases in both, but enough
with the apples to keep up the national
standard, according to a bulletin re-
leased by the census bureau,
Apple production in the nation fell
from 145, 600. 900 bushels in 1909 to
1856, 900, 600 bushels in 1919. while the
apple trees of bearing age decreased
in the same period from Isl 900, 600 to
1l5, 900, 000 Also there was a heavy
decline in the number of trees not yet
bearing, the figures being 65. 600, 600
in 1910 and 36, 600. 600 in 1920. This in
dicates that not only the mature orch
ards were reduced in area, but that
there was a stupendous decrease in the
paintings which had been made in the
fruit boom times of 1910.
On the Pacific coast there was uni
form increase in production and num-
ber of mature trees, but some decline
in the number of non-bearing trees,
showing that the new paintings even
on the Pacific coast has been curtailed
in late years.
California tops all others enormously
in yield of peaches and acreage of
bearing trees. In 1919 this state had
Is, 600. 900 bushels of peaches with
