ucts is to be diminished by home pro- 

 duction, equally as good grades nf pre- 

 served fruits must be put up, and a 

 constant supply of such. Much of the 

 success of establishing a brand of 

 canned or dried fruit depends on its 

 continued appearance on the market. 

 This cannot be kept up unless the fac- 

 tory can be assured of suitable fruit 

 far in advance of the preserving sea- 

 son; this can hardly be accomplished 

 if the growers are gambling on the 

 fresh-fruit market with intentions of 

 turning to the factory at the last minute 

 if market conditions are unfavorable. 

 The fruit-preserving industry, where it 

 is carried on most successfully, is not 

 a catch-al! for unsalable fruit, a place 

 where culls are converted by some 

 magic power into first-class products, 

 it is not a means of saving bad fruit, 

 but rather a means by which good fruit 

 is prevented from becoming bad. These 

 facts should in nowise discourage the 

 fruitgrower of the Western States in 

 the establishment of fruit-preservation 

 factories. After a thorough trial of 

 selling the fresh fruit, especially the 

 stone fruits, to the general markets it 

 may be proven that the sale ol' such 

 fruit as a processed article would 

 have been more profitable. If such 

 condition should prevail it seems rea- 

 sonable, however, from the experience 

 of other regions that the chances of 

 success of such factories may be greatly 

 increased as the product of the in- 

 dustry becomes more of a principal 

 product and less of a by-product. 



The Fruit Industry Paragraphed 



Loganberry Juice Advancing. — On ac- 

 count of the popular demand, which is 

 increasing, for loganberry juice, the 

 present stocks are scarce, therefore on 

 .luly 1st the price will be increased 25 

 cents per case. At present 14-ounce 

 cases sell at .$5.00, 16-ounce cases at 

 $4.50 and one-quart cases at $4.00. The 

 loganberry has made its way more 

 rapidly into popularity in the last year 

 through loganberry juice and logan- 

 berry pies than any other fruit in the 

 same length of time. 



The International Apple Shippers' 

 Association will meet in Xew York 

 City during the month of .August. Some 

 mighty interesting information should 

 be obtainable as a result of the deliber- 

 ations, not only in reference to the 

 quantity of apples to be handled this 

 year, but as to the best methods to be 

 used to sell them to the best advantage. 



The Walla Walla, Washington. Gar- 

 deners' Association commenced early 

 in May with a membership of 05 and 

 headquarters in Walla Walla. Even 

 the gardeners believe in association 

 work and arc finding co-operation a 



necessity.

The Spokane Fruit Growers' Com- 

 pany will undertake this year to take 

 a tree census of the number and age 

 of all trees and varieties in every 

 orchard. Special blanks will be used 

 for this purpose.
