APPLE GROWERS
IN STRONG ERA
Federal Government Study
Indicates Corner Passed
Cheerful Future

From a long time viewpoint, apple
growers appear to have turned the
corner, according to survey of con-
ditions by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
With the decrease in bearing trees,
as shown by the last census figures,
growers can expect marketing condl-
tions to be reasonably satisfactory
during the next 10 or Is years.
In the eastern and central states
4 appears that If the commercial
producing acreage is held at the pres
ent level reasonably satisfactory re-
turns may be expected, over a period
of wears. In the Northwest, where
trees reach bearing age more quickly,
there seems to be little reason for
increasing the bearing acreage at
present, tho apples probably will con-
tinue to be profitable in most sections
now yielding adequate returns.
In considering the present situation
Il should be remembered that profits
from apples since 1913 have not been
sufficiently great to stimulate plant
ings. The number of bearing trees IS
steadily decreasing, the 18 leading
apple producing states showing a.
decrease of 6,5OO,OO0 trees, or ap-
proximately 8 per cent. during the
past FIVE years, according to prelimin-
ary census figures. In eastern and
central states, most of the decrease
has been in scattered orchards that
are either outside of the main COM
mercial sections or are too small or
too unproductive to justify the use
Of efficient spraying equipment.
Some unproductive orchards also
have been abandoned in the box apple
states, and the tendency has been to
replace the poorer varieties in the old
er orchards. For the country as &
whole, the number of trees not yet
bearing is about the same as five
years ago and is not sufficient to
maintain the present number in bear
ing.
So far as commercial production Is
concerned, the decrease in the num-
Der Of bearing trees in the scattered
farm orchards has been more than
offset by increased production in the
commercial sections. The rate of in
crease in the commercial sections
seems, however, to be slowing up,
and in the boxed apple states the
point Of maximum production seems
to have been nearly reached.
Looking ahead, it seems that the
yearly increase in population will be
sufficient to take care of such IN
crease in production of commercial
apples as is to be expected from
present orchards.

MARKEY SAYS
KIDS IMPROVE
tuberculosis Specialist Elk
amines Sixteen - Compli-
ments County Nurse

DR.. j. j. Markey of Seattle exam
ined sixteen patients at the chest
clinic held at the high school yester-
day. Of this number several were
children to whom were administered
the Won Pirquet tuberculin skin test
in confirmation of the findings by
physical examinations.
The Seattle specialist was enthus-
iastic over the improvement made in
many of the children who were ex-
amined at the last clinic. He took oc-
casion to compliment the follow-up
system of Miss Harcus, the county
nurse, which she has devised to care
for children who are considered sus-
poets. According to DR.. Markey it is
the best system which is now being
used in the Northwest.
Miss Harcus has declared war upon
all underweights, Diseases, tonsils,
adenoids, and mouth breathing among
the school children as part of the
campaign to improve the general
health standards of the county.
DIR. Markey was the principal
speaker at the noon time meeting OF
the Commercial club yesterday. He
described in brief the elements in the
treatment of tuberculosis recommend
ing that patients apply to recognized
health agencies or to the state ano
government health bodies instead OF
seeking charlatan cures.
At an afternoon meeting at the
high school he outlined the measures
which are recommended by the ma
tional health agencies to preserve
health.

WILL ADVERTISE
VALLEY APPLES
Shippers Feel Fourth Grade
Must be Eliminated-Ad-
vertising is Guarantee

Preliminary steps for. advertising
Northwest fruits in a conservative
way were talsen in a meeting in Sc
attic Saturday, attended by seven
fruit men and growers from the Yak
ina valley. A mode of procedure was
outlined and two committees will be
appointed to clear the way for such
a campaign and outline plan Of fl
nancing it. .-.a.. e@
1t was the sentiment of the meet
ing that the apples grading rules be
revised as to eliminate the fourth
grade before campaign can be in
stituted. ..s
This will require the holding Of
a grade and pack conference and it
is expected that the fruit interests
will request that such a conference
be called by the state department OF
agriculture.
The meeting had been called by
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
in conjunction with Erie j. Barnes,
director of agriculture, and it was
opened with Asahel Curtiss as chair
man. A paper, prepared by Don Fran
cisco of California and accompanied
with charts, showed that striking
benefits had been derived from adver-
tising California fruits. 1t was pre-
sented by representative of Mr..
Francisco.
The conclusion drawn from this
presentation was that similar bene-
fits might be expected from adver-
tising northwestern apples. The pa
per, however, did not contain any
definite suggestions bearing on the
Northwest deal.
A committee, headed by F. A. Nor
ton of Grandview, prepared reso-
luton outlining a mode of procedure
which was adopted by the confer
ence. 1t was deemed imperative that
before an advertising campaign be
undertaken that the grading rules be
revised.
advertising is always guarantee
to the public" said j. Walter He
bert, general manager Of the Yakima
Fruit Growers association, who at
tended the conference. eff we are to
advertise, we must guarantee to the
public that boxed apples possess the
quality that the advertisements would
convey. 1t will therefore be necessary
to eliminate the fourth grade"
The conference endorsed an adver-
tising campaign but recommended
that it be not undertaken on too large
scale at the outset.
A committee will be appointed to
investigate the grade situation and
to propose the revision and correc-
tion of the grading rules. 1t is to
present its recommendation to a
grade and pack conference which the
state department of agriculture will
call upon the request of the shipping
district.
The second committee is to draft a
plan for the financing of the proposed
advertising campaign. Its work will
be contingent upon the completion
of the work of the first committee.
The two committees will be ap-
pointed by the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce in conjunction with the
director of agriculture upon nomina-
tions to be made from the various
districts. by the local fruit interests.
In Yakima this will be. done by the
officers of the Yakima district hor-
ticultural society in cooperation with
the Yakima Valley Traffic & Credit
sociation.-Yakima Herald.

ARTHUR S. BRISBANE
BOOSTS ARIZONA In
EDITORIAL COLUMNS

That all Arizona boosters are not
necessarily Arizonans is stri n & y
seen in copyrighted article by Arthur
Brisbane, nationally known newspaper
editorial columnist which appeared in
the November 20 issue Of the Los An
geles Examiner and which was syndi-
Gated TO large number of newspapers
throughout the country.
In the article, Brisbane gives over
his entire column to an enthusiastic
outline of the many attractions and in
ducements which Arizona has to offer.
The writer tells of the wonderful eli
mate, the many scenic attractions and
the great undeveloped wealth of the
state and advises everyone to visit
Arizona
The following are pointed excerpts
from the article which has been read
by hundreds of thousands of persons
throughout the nation:
What do one hundred and fourteen
million American people know about
Arizona, one of the most magnificent
of the As states? Part of Arizona is
100 feet and part of it $4,000 feet
above sea level 1t includes every sort
OF climate tcHcepC. lIOpICdl ilul4}iOlIy.
THE old Spanish friar, Marcus De
Mia, first white man to enter this
state, came in 1883, and guided Coro-
nado in 1910. He would find tens of
millions Of acres in this state just as
he first saw them. But other parts,
the important growing cities, Phoenix,
Prescott, Bisbee, Flagstaff, Jerome,
Douglas, Globe, Tempe, Tucson, Win
slow, all connected by putting locomo-
flying machines carrying the mail
above, would surprise the good monk.
The motto of Arizona is God En-
riches A better one could not have
been chosen.
There is wealth enough in this state
hidden and undeyeloped to pay all the
debts and all the war squanderings of
all the nations, amounting to hundreds
of billions Of dollars. There is health
and peace on these high lands for all
the suffering of the earth and oppor-
tunity for all the energy and ambition
pent up in great eastern cities. 1t is
the land of wonders, as it is the land
ruins, Indian pueblos, painted desert,
petrified forest and, what no other
state or nation can claim, the world s
greatest wonder, the Grand canyon.
Look one mile down into that canyon
and YOU viii think hereafter in a world
of larger dimensions.

South and East and North-all Of this
wonderful country"
