"Cherry pickers are In great de
mand," reports D. M. Clark after a
visit to Cove yesterday with NorU
western Manager Fontana of the Cali
fornia Fruit Canning company. The
Jwers must have pickers, and as
tbere are no Japs tbiB year, some dis
cussion is going on relative to the em
ployment of Indians to do this work.
The crop is unusually prolific In '.he
Royal Anne line and the crop is ripen
ing fast. Mr. Fontana this year has
leased the Grande Ronde Cash com
pany warehouse and instead of plae
inge fruit In barrels at Cove, It will
be done here this year. This means
the employment of a large force of
men.
In addition to the amount of cher
ries Mr4 Fontana's company.will take
out all the black cherries that are loi
sale will be bandied from Covo oy
Hood River concern. They have plac
ed an order for 10,000 boxes at Cove.
