cast of 10,091 600 barrels and a pro-
duction last year of $4,000 barrels.
The forecast for the United States
shows an increase Of more than 9 per
cent over the August forecast, and
indicates a production 80 per cent
larger than last year. Without ex-
ception, each of the is eastern and
central states shows an increase in
commercial crop forecast over the
previous months, the increase for the
group being almost l3 per cent.
Decrease in the commercial forecas' 8
for Washington aad Oregon more
than offset small increase in the 'other

Yakima shippers regard the move.
rnent in the Wenatehee district tor
change in the grading rules whereby
only two grades would be packed,
as impracticable Of application To
keep the c grade OF the market. which
is part of the plan, cannot be Carried
out. they declare.
"All / know of the movement in
Wenatchee is what appeared in the
papers," said F. E. Miller, regional
director. for. the. American. Fruit
Growers, Inc.
"There is merit in the idea of keeping
the c grade off the market. I can see
how that would enhance the value of
the other two grades. However,
there is no way OF preventing the
packing in boxes and shipping Of fruit
that is free of scale, worms and decay.
"As regards confining the packing
to two grades, that might be all right,
if a by-product market can be secured
for the c grade. However, there is
not market for both the culls and
the c grade in the state of Washing
ton. If c grade apples are to 60 to by
pfOuuCtS pIdiNo, thAV S0AAo WOuA0 AA"NS
to be destroyed.
ITO have only, two grades that
would exclude c grade apples, would
be fine. but I fear that is not what is
contemplated. The likelihood is that
effort would be made to change the
fancy grade as to include a lot of the
c grade. The results of such policy
would be disastrous to the industry.
What we need to look out for this
year is the c grade Romes smaller
than the e6 size. There will be no
nrcfit in packing and handling them.
I am of the opinion that we will find a
satisfactory market for c grade apples
of the late varieties"
1t will not be possible to get every
one together on the proposition of not
packing the c grade. it was declared
by another shipper. Further, it would
not be desirable for there are sections
of the country where no one will find
a satisfactory market for G grade, he
asserted.
