ALL REGULATIONS
OFF ON POTATOES

The EARLY Potato Code committee at
their meeting on August 6 decided to
take off all CODE regulations on Thurs
day morning, August 9. This means
that all price regulations and the nee
essity of attaching tags either within
or without the state is removed as of
this date.
The late potato code has been drafted
and will be in the hands of solicitors
early next week. This late potato mar
keting agreement has profited by the
mistakes of the early potato code COM
mittee, says B. K. Gage, manager. The
minimum price will be set to the
grower and not fob cars at shipping
point. No retailer or dealer may sell
potatoes at less than the code mini
mum plus transportation charges. Nc
potatoes may be rolled unsold within
the state and none consigned.

While the commercial apple crop this
year, taking the country as a whole,
will be one Of the shortest In many
years, the crop in the largest COM
mercial growing section Of the country,
the Pacific Northwest, Is larger than
last year and is fully up to the average
OF the last five years. The shortage is
In the east and middle west or what
is sometimes known as the barrel apple
districts.
According to the Pacific Coast
Packer, the crop in New York, Maine
and other states in the northern areas
of the eastern apple belt was seriously
damaged by severe weather last win
ter. Many orchards will show little
fruit. because of winter killing and, In
fact, many trees In that area are being
pulled out because extremely cold Wea-
ther killed the trees themselves. In
New York the Baldwins were affected
mostly. This eastern territory, says the
Packer, will not have half as many
apples as were produced last year
when the crop was we'll up to the five
states Of New York, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, and Connecticut Quality In
general appears favorable and If there
is no unfavorable weather between
now and September, the crop may
turn out little better than present
Indications seem to point to.
The entire Mississippi river water
shed-that vast area lying west Of the
Appalachian range clear to the Rockies
a thousand miles wide and nearly that
deep-has this summer suffered the
worst drought ever known since the
country was settled. While the apple
industry Is not as intensive In this
area as In New York, Virginia and
Washington, some Of the finest COM
mercial orchards are found In this sec
ton and the average crop Is around
100000 900 bushels, a fifth of the COM
mercial production Of the nation. The
total crop this year will not be halt
the normal crop. Much Of this pros
pect depends upon rain. If 1t does moi
come soon, the crop will not be thai
large, although few commercial areas
expect good crop.
The west shows the best prospects
for good crop Of apples this year
Colorado looks for more apples than
last year, and Washington and Oregon
have more fruit In sight. The crop ir
California and Idaho is reported less
than last year, but New Mexico has
good crop, the first in five seasons
Quality is generally reported good.
The Wenatchee- Okanogan district
expects total crop of about 1885
cars, about Is per cent above last
years actual shipments. The Winesal
variety shows the largest increase ane
will be about Is per cent above las
year.
+, In the Yakima district an increase
of about is per cent Is likewise ex
pected, with total shipment Of 1250'
to 10000 cars forecast. Winesaps vii
