CHERRY CROP
B EST EV E. r
Sc E N I'll E r E
Huge Yield and Good Market
Combine to Make This Rec
ord Y Tears e v enty-TwO
Cars Out So Far.

Seventy-two straight cars of
cherries have been shipped from
Kennewick up until today. Of this
number the Big Y has rolled az
and the Three Rivers Association
30. This is about twelve cars more
than the total crop of the district
was estimated at, and all have
been disposed of at very satisfac-
tory prices. The total crop will
probably be around 85 cars.
With the cherry season nearly
over, the yield this year has set
new high mark. The ideal COM
bination, a large crop and high
price, seems to have been acheiv-
ed. The market for cherries start
ed well and continued to get
stronger as the season advanced,
until the final shipments Of
Bings were bringing as high as
$3.50 F. o. B. Kennewick for IA
pound boxes.
This week will see the finish Of
cherry shipments. The Big Y will
have several cars of Lamberts and
late varieties to send out Friday
Or Saturday, while the 3-Rivers
will probably ship one or two more
cars of Lamberts and Black Re
publicans.
The Kennewick cherries have
been of unparalleled size and
quality according to Lee Uampson,
manager of the 3-Rivers. "Cher-
ries this year have been the easi-
est thing to sell we have ever
handled" said Mr.. Lampson in an
interview today. 'sThe East knows
Bing cherries. We have received
kilograms from Boston, New York
Detroit, and st. Louis dealers
cornplimenting us on the quality
of the cherries handled"
The price of cherries has, toe,
been exceptionally good this year.
In some instances local dealers
have played the auction in the
eastern cities with a high net re-
turn as the result. Shipments have
been made to nearly every large
city in the United States including
New York, Boston, Pittsburg, Buff
falo, Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis,
Minneapolis and Houston as well
as points in Canada and Alaska.
The growing weather has been
almost perfect with just enough
heat to make the cherries ripen
slowly and evenly. The tonnage
upset all estimates and was a big
surprise to growers and shippers
alike. The season will probably
go down in history as stthe big
year" for Kennewick cherries.

MARKET FOR
APPLE CROP
NOT CERTAIN
ranflicting Views Arise as to
state and National Apple
situation. Cap Vickers
Writes Sharp Letter to
Dreary Prophet

Predictions as to the fate of the
1928 commercial apple crop seem
v;dely at variance at this time of
the year. Reports sent out
q the newspapers of the state by
the United States Department of
Agriculture and by Washington
state College do not show perfect
correlation nor do they fit in well
With views of local growers. The
following resume of the apple sit
nation is taken from a forecast
BY the National Bureau:
aFor the United State as a
whole the condition of this apple
crop on June / was 1872 per cent
Of normal as compared with 57.2
year ago, and 68, the ten-year
average of conditions on June 1
With the trees still in bloom on
June / in some important north-
ern sections, it is too early to fore
cast the United States crop. But
prospects seem to be fairly good
IN nearly all sections except por-
lions Of Missouri, Arkansas, Ne
braska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and
Texas, where late frosts caused
extensive damage.
aThe Oregon apple crop will APP
parently be about as large as in
1926. In Washington the crop is
reported at 85 per cent of normal
on June /, against 64 last year,
and 81, the ten year average on
June /. The Pacific Northwest
Will porbably have more apples
than last season, If preliminary
Indications hold good"
Apple prices on all varieties ex-
cept Delicious and Winesaps will
not be high this year, according to
predictions made by DR.. j. r.
Magness, head Of the department
Of horticulture at the State Col
Iege of Washington. Offsetting
this rather gloomy statement he
expects northwest apples to com
mand strong price in 1929.
sPreliminary estimates show a
commercial apple crop as large as
has ever been produced in the
United States," DIR. Magness says.
1In the Pacific Northwest we have
also heavy crop in prospect.
Present Indications point to a crop
in Washington exceeding that of
last year by several thousand cars.
If history repeats itself, the fruit
growers should face the fact that
apple prices particularly on all
varieties other than Delicious and
Winesap, will not be good. We
cannot expect favorable market
ing conditions, especially during
the fall months. with the present
crop prospects" On the other
hand DR.. Magness predicts a good
price next year.
These rather pessimistic OBJ
servations Of the Pullman profess
sor printed in great detail in the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer tended
to arouse the ire of "Cap" Vick-
efs, Kennewick's largest individu-
q grower, and caused him to
Hrite the following letter to DR..
Magness:
