"Of all the districts Hood River is 

 at present the best organized. But 

 even here we have enough dissension 

 to cause considerable losses to our 

 own growers. And it seems, in the 

 light of information secured through 

 our costly experience during the past 

 few years, that it behooves the grow- 

 ers and shippers of all districts to get 

 together, tliemselves, and then they 

 can make satisfactory arrangements 

 with each other. The movement at 

 Seattle was certainly a step in the 

 riglit direction. But it will not be of 

 niucli benefit to the fruit growers, un- 

 less each district jjcrfects an organiza- 

 tion on its own and then practically 

 gives tlie central board its unanimous 

 supjjort. Tlie details of the central 

 board of control have as yet not been 

 wf)rked out, but satisfactory working 

 plans will come as a consequence, if 

 the projier spirit is placed behind the 

 movement which must be built up by 

 the growers, themselves, through their 

 shipping organizations." — Hood River

Apples in the Engrlish Market 



Mail advices received from J. C. 

 Houghton & Co., Liverpool, England, 

 dated January 7, give the following 

 report of apples in the English mar- 

 ket: "New Hampshire apples continue 

 to arrive in unsatisfactory condition, 

 and manv Elaine apples also show up 

 badly. The difference in price be- 

 tween tight and slack is now more 

 accentuated, buyers seeiuing to have 

 lost confidence in anything not ab- 

 solutely reliable. Virginia apples 

 have been rather more in evidence, 

 and anything choice was appreciated. 

 Many results of Canadian and Nova 

 Scotian apples are disappointing. New- 

 ton box apples from the Northwest- 

 ern States are of excellent quality, 

 which makes the discouraging re- 

 turns to shippers the more regret- 

 table." The arrivals of American and 

 Canadian apples for the week ending 

 .lanuary 5 is given as 22,423 barrels 

 and 15,300 boxes; total arrivals to 

 .lanuary 5, 1915, 549,839 barrels and 

 228,126 boxes.— California Fruit News.
