Future Prospects for Markets 

 for Our Apples Abroad 



Continued from page 10. 



embargo upon foreign shipments and 

 thousands upon thousands of people 

 have become accustomed to buying and 

 consuming high grade box apples. The 

 demand that other parts of the world 

 will make upon American industry will 

 keep the mining and factory centers 

 busy. 



Young Americans are already leaving 

 this country to study trade conditions 

 in distant parts of the world. Ameri- 

 cans have become accustomed to travel 

 and have received, many of them, an 

 education in world politics and world 

 business. With co-operation at home 

 and with the "good-will" asset that all 

 Americans now have, these representa- 

 tives of American industry will attain 

 success. 



Credit systems are being perfected 

 and extended. American-built and 

 American-owned and American-manned 

 ships are again upon the high seas. 



This matter of shipping is of more im- 

 portance than most Americans imagine. 

 Until, for example, a low tariff upon 

 meats enabled Argentina to ship fresh 

 meat to this country, there was no line 

 of ships with refrigerated space operat- 

 ing between the United States and 

 South America. In 1907 or 1908, when 

 the Van Dyke and her sister ships were 

 put into the meat trade, apple shippers 

 for the first time had opportunity to 

 send box apples in refrigeration to 

 South America direct. Theretofore it 

 had been necessary to ship apples to 

 England and from England to South 

 America. 



The Shipping Board has built twelve 

 to twenty refrigerated ships, which are 

 now engaged in transportation particu- 

 larly of meats on the Atlantic. These in 

 time should be available for new ven- 

 tures in the fruit-shipping business. 



Lime-Sulphur Summer Spray

removed, and the trees opened up so as 

 to insure a good circulation of air 

 through the branches. 



In conclusion, I would say that lime- 

 sulphur, applied summer strength, (1) 

 when the blossom buds show pink, (2) 

 when the petals fall, and (3) three 

 weeks after the petals fall is an effective 

 remedy for the control of apple scab 

 under our conditions in Northern Idaho. 

 Furthermore, these factors must be 

 kept in mind if the growers are to 

 obtain similar results in the control of 

 this disease: 



(1) Timeliness, which necessitates 

 making the applications at the times 

 specified above. 



(2) Thoroughness, that of covering 

 the trees and fruits uniformly with the 

 lime-sulphur solution. 



"Better apple boxes" is a good slogan. 

 With fruit prices at their present and 

 prospective figures the grower can't 

 afford to have his fruit spoiled by bad 

 box material.
