The Hood River Apple Growers Asso- 

 ciation reports a steady sale of apples 

 of all varieties and all grades. How- 

 ever, the movement of low grades is 

 the most rapid. There is a steady sale 

 in a good way for extra fancies, espe- 

 cially of the winter varieties like Spitz- 

 cnbergs. The very long keeping varie- 

 ties like Newtowns have not yet been 

 moved very extensively. Shipments 

 are running about ten carloads a day 

 since the beginning of the season, 

 which started about the first of Octo- 

 ber. At this rate, the association will 

 probably be sold out by the first of 

 the year. 



The Oregon Agricultural College has 

 a very educational exhibit at the Manu- 

 facturers' and Land Products .Show, 

 showing the value and effectiveness of 

 proper spraying for scab. The exhibit 

 shows a display of apples which have 

 been properly sprayed, with 91 per cent 

 free from scab. 



Hood River estimates the present 

 apple crop at about 900 carloads, al- 

 though there are some who think it 

 may reach 1000 carloads. Last year the 

 total shipment was a little over 1-100 

 carloads, including what was shipped 

 to Portland by boat. 



The University Horticultural Society 

 of the Ohio State University will hold 

 the fifth annual show of fruit and veg- 

 etables during the first two weeks of 

 December. As usual this meeting will 

 be very instructive to the fruit and 

 vegetable growers of that state. 



National Apple Day was celebrated 

 extensively in Chicago. Much credit is 

 due to the efforts of Mr. Coyne, one of 

 the most prominent fruit dealers and 

 handlers of apples in that city. 



Watsonville, California, reports a 

 good crop of apples in the Pajaro Val- 

 ley — somewhere in the neighborhood 

 of" 4000 cars. 



Mosier, Oregon, reports about 30 car- 

 loads of apples this year. 



Wenatchee reports it is shipping 

 about 100 carloads every day.
