INDIANA BEATS OREGON For Apple Growing Says Winner at State Apple Show Who Has Tried Both States. Indianapolis, Nov. 10. —Dan W. LeGore, of Gosport, winner of the 'commercial orchard exhibit at the 1914 Indiana apple show, told members of the Indiana Horticultural Society that the live experiment station at Purdue, the facilities for mar keting apples in this state and the good soil for orchards, brought him from Rogue River valley in Oregon to Indiana. He said in the few years he has attempted to raise apples in Indiana tinder the improved methods used in the west, he has had success equal to that of western apple growers. The conditions which make apple growing particularly attractive as a business proposition in Oregon and other western states are generally duplicated in Indiana, the speaker said, and he added that Indiana had many advantages over the west. The great reason for the west being regarded such a great apple district, LeGore said, was because men have to pay such extremely high prices for land. Many of the men who raise apples in the west are business men from the eastern states who invest all their ready money in their orchards arid they must push their produce in order to realize-a fair profit, the speaker said. He said the low price of land in Indiana had been a great detriment to the development of the apple raising industry because men too often raised apples only as a side line and did not cultivate their crops as they would if more money was invested. When he spoke of trying western apple raising methods in Indiana the men in Oregon laughed at him, lie said, but he believed that although he had not seen such good apples in Indiana, neither had lie-seen improved methods ifsed in taking care of the trees and packing ihe crop, that Indiana offered in any advantages over Oregon, LeGore said he regarded the facilities of transportation of the crop offered in Indiana as a great asset to the apple grower. He complimented the horticultural department of Purdue, saying that it took up in more detail every problem lie laid before it. He said the Oregon station took the position that the community of apple experts should work out its own problems. The eonimuinty life of those interested

in raising apples in Oregon, where one settlement is shut off from another by mountains, brought the men into closer contact and the talk of nothing but apples created a greater spirit of competitive production than would be possible in Indiana. Regarding the price paid for In diana apples in relation to the price for the Oregon crop, LeGore said that last year he sold 740 bushels of his crop of 900 bushels at $1.25 a bushel, while t-het Oregon Apple Dealers’ Association received only 61 cents as the average price a box. He said that in the association the grower. did not receive his -money until the following spring, while in Indiana he. was paid when the apples were transported from his loading station.
