BETTER FRUIT 



January 



Northwest, and its spirit will ever be one of 

 co-operation with the various institutions whose 

 interests are of the Northwest. 



The following is a list of the associations which 

 are at the present time identified with the 

 exchange: Ashland Fruit and Produce Associa- 

 tion, Ashland, Oregon; The Dalles Fruit Grow- 

 ers' Association: Yakima County Horticultural 

 Union, North Yakima, Washington; Cashmere 

 Fruit Growers" Union, Cashmere, Washington; 

 Stevens County Fruit Growers' Union, Meyers 

 Falls, Washington; Caldwell Fruit Growers and 

 Producers' Association, Caldwell, Idaho; Council 

 Valley Fruit Growers' Association, Council, Idaho; 

 Dryden Fruit Growers' Union, Dryden, Washing- 

 ton; Richey & Gilbert Company, Toppenish, Wash- 

 ington; Manville Fruit Company, Boise, Idaho; 

 Evergreen Fruit Growers' Association, Kiesling, 

 Washington. 



Applications are being received from a nuinber 

 of other associations, and as the exchange princi- 

 ples become better known the list of membership 

 will be largely increased. 



The interdependence of the fruit growers of 

 the Northwest must be clearly recognized, and 

 the exchange gives the best expression of this 

 spirit. 



The independence and the distinct identity of 

 each section is recognized and preserved. No 

 association need be at all apprehensive on this 

 point. T'.ie exchange fosters the organization of 

 local associations where they are needed and 

 desires the co-operation of those associations that 

 already exist. 



The fruit of each district is given distinct prom- 

 inence according to its qualities, and is intelli- 

 gently placed before the entire trade strictly on 

 its merits. 



As additional membership is added to the 

 e.xchange and new districts become identified with 

 this work, it will be expected and provided that 

 proper representation may be had in the manage- 

 ment of its affairs. 



The California Fruit Growers' Exchange is fre- 

 quently cited as an illustration of what can be 

 accomplished in the organization of a great fruit 

 industry, and very justly so, but it must be 

 remembered that the success of the California 

 exchange is founded on radically different condi- 



tions than those which confront us. First of all, 

 California oranges are shipped every month in the 

 year, which makes it possible to maintain a per- 

 manent sales organization without outside assist- 

 ance. What is even more important, the Cali- 

 fornia Fruit Growers' Exchange is composed of a 

 number of highly organized units, local shipping 

 districts being thoroughly organized and equipped 

 and operated under competent management; the 

 local unions in turn are centralized in sub- 

 exchanges, which are again centralized in the

 Orchard Heater 



Burns Perfectly crude oil, fuel oil, 

 distillate oil or heavy residium. 



Never Fails to Burn during high 

 winds or snow storms. 



Economical Consumption of Oil, 

 regulated according to the tempera- 

 ture to be controlled. Simple and 

 effective. 



The Hot Burner keeps up a contin- 

 uous combustion as the oil drops, and 

 with the oxygen of the air rushing to 

 the burner, consumes everything and 

 makes the greatest amount of heat 

 and smoke possible. 



Large Oil Reservoir, independent of 

 burner, will give a season's oil supply. 

 Always ready. Very important to 

 have each Heater ready for duty. 



Emergency — Coal or wood can be 

 burned alone or in connection with oil.

The Deming "Victor" Power Sprayer 

 —a New, Good Machine for 1911 



This is a light, compact and powerful machine — pump and engine, 

 combined, weigh less than 400 pounds. The engine is of the marine type 

 — 3 h.p. — and will develop 150 to 200 pounds pressure. 



The pump is of the triplex type; it has three plungers, one of which 

 is always on the down-stroke, so the discharge is always uniform — no 

 pulsating nor "jumping" of the spray. Only a small air chamber is 

 needed, thus avoiding useless weight. Every outfit is carefully tested. 



Get Deming Nozzles for your spraying this year — we make 7 styles, 

 of which the "Bordeaux" and "Demorel" are particularly good.
