BITS ABOUT FRUIT AND FRUITMEN 

 CHIPMENT of citrus fruits by sea from Cali- 

 '--' fornia to New York via the Panama Canal 

 is being resumed on a large scale, according to 

 freight traffic officials of the Admiral Line, 

 agent on the Pacific coast for the North Atlantic 

 & Western Steamship company. During the recent 

 hot weather period in the East, when an unusual 

 demand caused prices to advance rapidly the 

 growers resorted to the overland expresses, hut 

 the market since has become stabalizcd again, and 

 the fruit shipping agencies are returning once more 

 to the water lines and their lower rates. Two 

 weeks before its sailing date, August 20, space 

 was engaged on the steamship Springfield for 

 approximately 400 tons of oranges and lemons, 



BETTER FRUIT 



.ind the Admiral Line has been advised that 

 licavier shipments may be expected when the 

 crop of navals begins to come in. With the 

 opening of the apple shipping season in the 

 Pacific Northwest shipments by steamer to the 

 ■itlantic Coast and abroad will be greatly increased 

 and the largest tonn.age handled in the history of 

 water transportation of fruits from the Pacific 

 coast.

"WAlTH the quantity of cherries preserved in 

 " brine this year in Italy greatly reduced the 

 outlook for good prices for the home product 

 is looked upon as exceedingly bright. The re- 

 duction in the output of preserved cherries in 

 Italy is due to untimely rains which caused a 

 total failure of the sour varieties and a falling 

 off of other kinds of SO per cent. The United 

 States has been the principal market for the pre- 

 served cherries of Italy taking 7,387,030 pounds, 

 valued at $1,497,755 in 1920. Owing to the 

 tariff that has been placed on the importation of 

 preserved cherries by the United States Italian 

 exporters are said to be devoting their attention to 

 developing markets in other countries.

A CCORDING to late advices received from 

 "^ London representatives of American apple 

 exporting houses the outlook for American apples 

 in British markets Is very bright this year. Thee 

 advices say that the British fruit crop has been 

 almost entirely ruined by drouth. There will 

 be little, if any, marketable crop of the late 

 varieties of apples while the early varieties will 

 be of a very inferior quality. With the industrial 

 situation righting itself and the purchasing power 

 of the public becoming better, coupled with the 

 fact that exchange is becoming more equalized, it 

 is expected that the export season for box apples 

 will be more than satisfactory.

 i^N HIS return recently from a trip through the 

 ^-^ Middle West which included the states of 

 Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois, 

 F. Benz, general agricultural agent of the North- 

 ern Pacific railroad, reported that this section of 

 the country will have to have Northwest apples 

 this year, but that Western growers must keep in 

 mind that Eastern people will not buy apples this 

 year at extremely high prices. Mr. Benz predicts 

 that if the box apple crop is started this year at 

 prices that will bring a reasonable profit it will 

 be cleaned up early in the season.

TPO PROVIDE men and women to harvest, 

 pack and ship the enormous crop of apples 

 now approaching maturity, a free employment 

 agency will be established at Wenatchee. To har- 

 vest and ship the apple crop of the Wenatchee dis- 

 trict, now estimated at nearer 16,000 cars than 

 15,000, the original forecast, efforts are being 

 made to start picking a week or two earlier than 

 usual. The exceptionally favorable weather and 

 the healthful condition of the trees has caused the 

 apples to grow faster than ever before.
