Filcher, one of the commisstoners in charge of the Portland and St. Louls | exhibits. “Marketing Outside of Trans- portation Lines” was discussed by A. N. Judd, who spoke in part as follows: 1 wish to imoress upon the grower the ne- | cessity of marketing his own products, If for | no other reasons than to correct the vagarles of.apple buyers, and this is true of all fruits. The taste is the grows test of the quality jof an apple, while the city man ls influenced | by the eye wholly, and in consequence seldom | eats a good apple, But as the city buyer rep- resents our market we should try to influence him 40 buy by taste, for apples and all other | fruit must be consumed in greater quantities in { order to sell in greater quantities. Who but the grower should show the buyer | the difference between those kings of the royal family of fruits, the Yellow Bellefleur, the Newton Pippin and the plebeian Lauver aund Ben Davis? To show how serious this question 1s, at the Louistana Purchase Exposition apples were judged on 100 per cent basis and only 19 per cent credit was given to taste, while 81 per cent was given to looks. In fact, all awards in all kinds of fruit the eye awarded at least 75 | per cent of the honors and the taste less than 25 per cent. This calls for action on the part | of the grgwer and further illustrates the ne- esity of attending to at least a part of our own business. | *England as’a Market for Our Fruits” | was discussed by Edward Beurwick, and | “Packing Prunes in Tin Cans in | Their Natural State” was dis- cussed by J. Luther Bowers. The latter is something new and Bowers' paper brought om considerable discussion and occasioned much interest. He showed that partly dried prunes can be canned like any other fruit, although littie has so far been attempted in that line. Ridgway Hall wag crowded to the ut- | called to order for the afternoon session. Lieutenant Governor Alden Anderson was the first speaker. His subject was de- ciduous fruit shipments and, conditions. He said this had been a record breaking year in the matter of fruit shipments from tnis State East. Russ D. Stevents followed with ex- tended remarks on transportation and thé market, Luther Burbank followed with- a scfen- tific paper on the walnut in Northern and - Central California. Burbank was splendidly recelved. Following Burbank came Professor E. J. Wickson of the State University, who told of Burbank and his work. The session closed with a discussion of the papers read during the day, The delegates and visitors were ten- dered a reception to-night in Ridgway | Hall by the citizens and thé Woman's | Improvement Club. — e MONTEREY AND CASTROVILLE TRAIN MEETS WITH ACCIDENT Drawhead in One of the Cars Pulls Out and, Dropping on Track, Causes a Derailment. : MONTEREY, Dec. 6.—The mixed |freight and passenger train between Monterey and Castroville was wrecked | this morning near Gigling Siding, eight | miles from here.
