WASHINGTON 

 "T.XRL S. COE and Fred Baker, White Salmon 

 orchardists, have entered the apple marketing 

 business and have begun the construction of a 

 warehouse. An estimate of the apple production 

 in the districts in which they will operate this 

 year gives the following output: Goldendale, 50 

 cars; Lyle, 100 cars; White Salmon, 400 cars, and 

 Underwood, 275 cars.

'T'HE North Pacific Co-operative Berry Growers, 

 an organization representing the communities 

 in Kitsap county, Bainbridge Islands, Ollala, Jef- 

 ferson county. Grays Harbor, Sunnyside, Snolio- 

 mish and Pacific counties has been formed for the 

 purpose of marketing the berry output from a 

 large acreage In Western Washington. The pur- 

 pose of the organization is said not to be ob- 

 taining a higher price from the consumer, but to 

 facilitate distribution.

T^O provide facilities for handling more than 

 150,000 boxes of apples through the Dryden 

 unit of the Wenatchee District Co-operative Asso- 

 ciation a modern frost proof brick warehouse, two 

 stories high, will be built immediately upon a 

 site along the Great Northern railway track at a 

 cost of $25,000. The destruction of the Bohlkc 

 Fruit Company's warehouse by fire last February left 

 Dryden without adequate storage and loading fa- 

 cilities. The new warehouse will be designed for 

 the rapid handling of fruit, both in receiving and 

 shipping.

A PPLE growers of the Spokane Fruit Growers' 

 Company arc amply protected In the matter 

 of boxes for their tonnage this season, according 

 to Charles J. Webb, assistant manager of the 

 company. Because of the abnormally heavy crop 

 In the Northwest this year, the box situation is 

 causing some of the organizations and many of 

 the growers considerable anxiety. With an esti- 

 mated Northwestern crop of 40,000 cars of ap- 

 ples, 750 boxes to the car, the 1921 apples will 

 require 30,000,000 boxes. Where the box supply 

 was not contracted for early in the season diffi- 

 culty may be experienced later in securing enough. 



AAA 



Packers of pears and apples In the Yakima 

 district win receive five cents a box for the 

 season of 1921, instead of six cents, the prevail- 

 ing wage last year, according to a statement is- 

 sued by the Yakima Fruit Growers' Association.
