Fine Delicious apples, which sold fot from $4 to $5 during pre-war years when money was vauSfcle, Wuld be purchased in Orem thwe weeks ago for $1.25 apples which cost approximately $2 or mora to produce. Apricots, peaches and pears ssr to be fol. lowing a similar pattern. The clinic projected no acceptable solution to the difficult dif-ficult problem which faces our fruit growers, but it did indicate to us that very shortly it will be 'snake or break" for an industry which in the past has brougnt both prosperity and fame to Orem. Since the clinic we have iotheref to ask questions and do some research on the problem of Utah County's fruit; and was impressed with a study made by Wayne R. Morgan, Mor-gan, BYU graduate student in marketing, who. wrote his masters thesis early this year on "The Marketing of Utah Apples. Som results of his study are presented present-ed briefly here without furthet comment: "An average of about one-fhird of the apple crop is exported. The volume of imports is about one-half as great as that of exports, and consists of the same varieties var-ieties of apples as are exported, indicating serious failure fail-ure of locally-grown apples to meet the competition of those produced elsewhere. m"1?.1946 the retail rocrs of Provo sold 2 to more Washington apples than they did Utah apples. Also, they sold them on an average of over one dollar per bushel bu-shel higher price. The grocers felt the main reason the Utah product was inferior to the Washington one was :haJi Jt 3 not sr&ded properly and boxed according to to the different sizes. " "The farmers who graded and stored made the most profit on their apples. The farmer who did this and in addition sized Ms frutt and labeled it with a brand name made still larcrer nrofit. Tt. was oio fmmj v. u.i ter the farmer thinned his fruit, the more yield he obtained ob-tained and the higher was the percentage of top quality "It is recommended that a central agency be established estab-lished to carry out the steps of grading and sizing, storing, stor-ing, and marketing of Utah apples." ffcy, mom cm I mve some woes cash. ? m GoTnt SSN Mt "WCT JMSKETT IMU, y I HOPS.
