This is equal to twenty-six million four 

 hundred and sixty thousand boxes, or 

 eigth million barrels, practically ome-third 

 of the entire averag'e crop of the United 

 States for the last seven years. If these 

 crop predictions are correct, there is ample 

 need for protection for us in our markets. 



Economic conditions have chang'ed. The 

 cost of labor has increased (greatly in the 

 last five yeans ; and so have the costs of 

 other items of production. The exclusion 

 of Orientals has had much to do with this. 

 Our labor and the other items in the cost 

 of production are higher than they are in 

 the State of Washington. Another econ- 

 omic condition which affects the situation 

 is the defective organization of our com- 

 I>etitors. Their marketimg associations 

 were in poorer Fhape in mineteen hundred 

 and twelve than in previous years, and 

 this, in the face of large crops, inadequate 

 holding and storing facilities, the absence 

 of by-product factories, and unsatisfactory 

 finacial conditions.

 discovered last seasom in ome or two or-

 tor wisely quarantined those orchards, 

 picked and destroyed the heavy crop of 

 fruit, but doing away it is believed with 

 means of propogation. One of the Fruit 

 Pest Inspectors' staff is now in the dis- 

 trict with an efficient power sprayer to give 

 advice and assistance on all spraying mat- 

 ters, especially to watch for codling worms 

 and completely exterminate them if any 

 are found. This is prompt, commendable 

 action ; ma>' the programme be carried to 

 completion. The orchard men of this dis-
