A FUTURE IN! BERRIES Mr. Armstrong Says There Is a Big Opportunity for Growers of Iterry PlanU for Hlilpmeiit to Other Locttlillni. County Fruit Inspector E. C. Arm strong u being kept' exceptionally busy inspecting nursery stock. Mr. Armstrong reports tluu more new stock is coming in this year than baa been brought to Douglas county tor many years past. Several hundred acres will be, put out Into new or chards during the season, he states. and the growth of the orchards lu the county will be surprising. In regard to diseased stock, Mr. Armstrong states that there was quite a large number of bad trees shipped in early but that the return of a few diseased shipments quickly led to an improvement of the stock sent. ! "During the early part of the sea son," he said, "we nau some trouDie. It appears that there are a few nur sery companies that endeavor to get rid of their cull stock on territories where Inspection Is not strict. As soon as we had caused them to lose some of these bad trees the quality was Immediately Improved. Wher ever the trees are thoroughly in spected the companies are careful to send only the best ot tueir siock, and we have had litt-le trouble dur ing the past month." Mr. Armstrong states tnai mere i big ooDortunity In Douglas county for those who desire to make money In the growing of berries. He refers nartlcularlv to strawberries where he states that there Is a strong demand for young plants. In the Willamette vallebundreds of acres are devoted to the wrowlng of young strawberry plants, which are taken up while young and shipped but a carload at a time to purcnaaers in various uano of the country. The Oregon berrvjj especially de manded in certain localities and many nersons have made a large amount of money growing plants for shipment. For this industry Douglas county Is admirably situated.. The climatlcal conditions are such that the Douglas county strawberry ma tures two weeks ahead of the re mainder of the state. This means that the Douglas county plant can be placed on the market two weeks ahead of those from any other sec tion. The demand for the Douglas county strawberry is unlimited and there is no doubt about the success of the market. There Is also a great opportunity offered in the growing of grapes. Mr. Armstrong states. Grapes can bo shipped to the Portland market In a fresh condition or can be processed. A new method of processing grapes has been discovered by J. C. Holt, at Eugene, the natural flavor of the grape being retained instead of the cooked taste. There was a big de mand for grapes last year and there will be a heavier demand In the fu ture, Mr. Armstrong states. Miss Smith Will Try Make Amends By Associated Press BIG SPRINGS, Texas, Dec. 24.
