Show lw m m m mW " TWENTY CENT APPLES SI ?jr" Prohibition is" going to increase the U !v rice of 'apples this year, and already they mt ';, ' are selling as high as 20 cents each on' hi 5 some of the large city markets. Cider is H a Slng to be in such great demand that any mkw kind of an apple is going to be worth Wtm something. ml W While the fancy apple, polished and H nL trapped in tissue paper and widely ail- V vertised under an attractive name brings . 20 cents we oo not believe it means ii pro- J My portionate increase fa: all grades and WL ',' lands. Here in L'ogan we expect to be a , ' able to buy them adways for much less. just as we can do now But the 20 cent apple only serves to show that a large part of the Aeroican people will pay any price for what they w.ant, and that this fast forming habit is dangerous in that it may lead to other things being jumped in price. Prohibition, blamed or many things, may be back of the 20 cent apple, but whether the country is wet or dry, apples would not sell at 20 cents each if people refused to pay that price for them. So when, the regular apple season rolls aound the good housewife will do well to rmember this, and turn down the first attempt at-tempt to boost prices on the ground that the demand fo cider has grown that fast. It is growing all right, but not as fast as the price of apples- And she will also do well to remember that when she is helping help-ing to keep down the price of apples she is also aiding in keeping down the price of peaches and other fruit, for as a rule, the other fruits are governed largely by the apple prices. |
