June ipip 



that never in the history of the industry 

 has there been so much interest shown 

 by foreign dealers to obtain fruit. They 

 report that they are being flooded with 

 letters from abroad making inquiries 

 about crop conditions and expected 

 prices. 



Organized with a capital of $10,000, 

 the Grandview (Wash.) Fruit & Storage 

 Company will enter the fruit-handling 

 field at that point this year. The new 

 firm is composed of Russell Parker, 

 formerly with the T. W. Robinson Com- 

 pany, and E. W. Cox, for the past two 

 years local manager of the Earl Fruit 

 Company. The new firm will take over 

 the E. J. Haaze warehouse and will do 

 business on a cash buying basis. 



Reports of injury to fruit at Grand- 

 view, Washington, by frost are re- 

 ported to have been greatly exaggerated 

 and experts who have made a survey 

 of the situation state that they now 

 expect that the largest tonnage of fruit 

 ever moved from that district will be 

 shipped this year. 



The most favorable conditions for 

 fruit that have been known in the Hood 

 River Valley for several years are caus- 

 ing authorities on the matter there now 

 to predict that a 2,000,000-box crop will 

 be shipped out of that district this year. 



Strawberry shipments to Eastern mar- 

 kets are the lightest known in years 

 and the trade is having a hard time to 

 supply the demand. Many of the East- 

 ern markets are reported to be practi- 

 cally without this variety of fruit. One 

 reason for this is said to be that South- 

 ern strawberry growers have put their 

 land into cotton, potatoes and other 

 crops that are now paying better. 



Frost did but little damage in the 

 Wapato, Washington, district this year 

 and normal crops will be the result. 

 The fruit on the limbs of early peach 

 trees was hurt some and apricots sus- 

 tained slight damage, but it is now an- 

 nounced that both the Wapato and 

 Donald districts will ship large quan- 

 tities of fruit this year.

BETTER FRUIT 



The pool-car plan has been adopted 

 by the Prosser (Wash.) Fruit Company. 

 According to Manager Lodcrhouse, un- 

 der this method the grower with a com- 

 paratively small quantity of fruit who 

 has more than the local market can 

 consume will be enabled to pool it with 

 other small shipments and find an out- 

 siile market for it.

ton leads all the other sections of the 

 Northwest. One thousand acres of new 

 orchard have been set out in Yakima 

 County this year, according to Horti- 

 cultural Inspector C. B. Wood. 



While many orchard districts are 

 coming to the front with the announce- 

 ment of increased setting of fruit trees 

 this spring, Yakima County, Washing- 



Washington fruit crops this year will 

 far exceed those of last year, is the 

 opinion of J. H. Jacobson, field agent of 

 the Bureau of Crop Estimates, in 

 charge of the Spokane office. Mr. 

 Jacobson also announces that the acre- 

 age of winter wheat in Washington has 

 been doubled.
