Northwest Fruit Notes from Here and There WASHINGTON THE Yakima Fruit Growers' Association an- nounces an increase in its capital stock from $150,000 to $300,000. AAA THE annual report for horticultural district No. 1, comprising Walla Walla, Columbia, Gar- field and Asotin counties, recently completed shows that 908 cars of fruit were grown there last year. AAA DURING the latter part of the apple shipping season in the Wenatchee district an unusual demand for Winesaps of the larger sizes was prevalent. As a result a high premium was offered for the big sizes. AAA EARLY estimates of the peach crop in the Yakima valley are to the effect that it is below normal, owing to the fact that many trees injured in the 1919 freeze have not fully recovered and did not make sufficient wood growth in 1920 to set fruit spurs. AAA CLAIMING to be the center of the strawberry growing industry in Washington, Centralia is planning an annual strawberry festival. The event, which will be held during the early part of June, will be put on under the direction of the local chamber of commerce. Between 500 and 600 acres of strawberries are now tributary to the Centralia district. AAA APPLE box prices
