Northwest Orchards E. T. Balch, secretary of the local fruit growers' association, has re turned from Tacoma, where he went last week to attend the Washington Federation of Fruit Growers' conven tion. When seen by a World repre sentative this morning Mr. Balch wa3 hard at work at his desk, but cheer fully consented to be interviewed on what happened at the Tacoma con vention: ' There were not very many pres ent at the convention. I was late, ow ing to my train being behind time, and missed the first session. I think perhaps several members rtayed away because they did not fully compre hend just what was to be accom plished at this convention. We met in the Hotel TacomaT with perhaps twenty in attendance. "The principle business end ac complished was the election of Sen ator W. H. Paulhamus as manager for the ensuing year. But you'v probably had direct news of this si ready. • "It was possible for but few of the associations to enter into a close fed eration this year, for the reason that too many independent shippers pre fer to handle their own sales. I im agine there is no way of getting them into the federation, except by allowing them to go through a little experience, possibly bitter experience, which may show them the advantages we hope to obtain by our organiza tion. Their staying out has upset the plans of our organization to a certain extent. "About the most we can hope to do this year is to employ the same agents at various distributing cen ters; where it is possible different as sociations will employ the same agent, which will lessen expenses somewhat, and enable us to have our own men on the ground." "What do you think of the coming year's prospects for fruit," Mr. Balch was asked by the World man. "Well, of course I can base my opinion only what I know of condi- ; tions right here in the Wenatchee valley. From what T have seen my self, and from the reports that come in, there seems no doubt but that this season's crop is to be up to if not even better than the average yield." "How about coming prices," was asked. "Oh, it's probably too soon yet to talk about prices. That will depend upon the amount of crop we get." The World man inquired if Mr. Balch didn't believe the present movement all over the northwest to i wards larger orchards, planting al- I falfa and other lands, to trees, etc., I would not materially decrease the | profits of fruit growers within the next few years. "That is hard to say," said the sec retary of the fruit growers' associa tion. "I believe, however, that at the present time the planting of or chards is progressing faster in pro portion than the population of the northwest is increasing. Local con sumption will not take care of the vast fruit crops which will be har vested in a few years, by any means. Then we shall have to look for an outside market. We can find an outside market for our fruit, in large l quantities, provided we raise the particular kind of apple that the out side markets require. The eastern part of the states is always a good market, but not for any old apple. They require centain high grade classes of fruit. Australia, during a portion of the year, affords a good market for certain grades of fruit, also. Just now, however, Australian apples are on the market in coast cities. 'Of course their season is different from ours, and that's one reason why there is a market down there for our apples; we market ours when their crop is exhausted. I ate an Australian apple in a commission firm's office in Seattle Saturday. It resembled our Yellow Newtown, and was a good apple. I did not lea,-n the price this apple brings in the Seattle market." Discussing tbe third and last session of the State Fruit Grower •' federation held at the Tacoma hotel in that the Ledger of that city says: The federation as organized, aims to be a general clearing house tor carload shipments of all the fruit growers' unions of the state, and to dispense to its members information relating to the market quotations, the drnsads for trait, and sflso to l dispense educational information re garding the grades of fruit suitable for' canning. Uniform rules for pack ing and shipment will be adopted, the entire scheme tending towards the bettering of the fruit industry throughout the state. The territory covered by all fruit raised in Washington, with the ex ception of apples, reaches from Win nipeg o nthe north and St. Paul on the east, to Kansas City on the south. Apples are sent throughout the United States and to Europe as well. By means of the federation the fruit men hope to rid themselves of the consignment system, against which the local fruit growers have been fighting from the start, and is aimed to bring about early sale 3 for good profit and quick returns. The man ager selected at today's meeting will have charge of the orders and in quiries regarding all state fruits, and will deal directly with the buyers. To Apportion Crops. incidentally the federation hopes to influence its members to raise the fruit that is best suited to their im mediate locality, and to more evenly apportion the crops throughout the state. As the fruit in the different sections ripens at different times dur ing the year, an effort will be man f o get Washington fruit into the out side market first, and keep it there in prominence until the last. The tremendous and growing trade in apples from the Yakima country, for instance, to the general abandonment of peach raising there, will be con demned, and an attempt will be made to have Yakima raise more peaches, and divide the apple trade with other portions of the state, no tably the Wenatchee section. A general correlation of the whole fruit business, and a careful cultiva tion of the canning activities to dis pose of over-ripe fruit, will be the aims of the federaton.

"I understand the fruit inspector controversy was brought up," said the World man. "Yes," replied Mr. Balch, "We dis cussed that, and I introduced a res olution, asking the attorney-general for an opinion on the remaining por tion of the law, that is, whether the remaining part would be valid, and whether there would be any way of getting fruit inspectors into office without an election. We simply asked that if he could see no way by which the payment of the present county fruit inspectors could be le galized, that the governor be asked to call a special session of the legis lature, and l?t them pass some rem edial legislation. "I understand, however, that in | the opinion of the attorney general the county commissioners may de clare a vacancy existing in the office of county fruit inspector, and pro ceed by appointment to fill that of fice until a regular election can be held under the provisions of the law. "That was about all the business transacted at the convention of any! importance; we passed a resolution concerning the appointment of a iu perintendent of the Puyallup exper imental station, too. "On my way home I stopped in Seattle for awhile. Accidentally met J. B. Powles, in company with Mr. McManus, our representative in Se attle. He was just starting for the baseball game, the first of the sea son and invited me to go with him. We went in his automobile and after wards took a thirty mile ride about the residence portion of Seattle. .Mr. Powles said he anticipated exceed ingly good prices in the fruit market this year." ' OLYMPIA, April 22.—Senator Paulhamus of Pierce county address ed the fruit growers of Thurston county Saturday, his talk being main ly on the subject of berry growing. The meeting was largely attended by fruit growers and proved a stimulat ing influence toward increasing the interest in berry growing. As the result of the meeting today it Is planned to build a fruit cannery at Olympia to take care of tbe surplus fruit which rots every season here through inability to market the crop promptly.
