SALEM, Ore., June 24 (AP)
With Jioyal Anne cherries in thu
Salem district, one' of its main
fruit' crops, ripening on the trees
rapidly, start of heavy packing Is
expected next week, and i is esti-
niateu mat in per cen.t ot me lo
cal crop is either unsold or not sold
at any definito price. Probably 00
per cent or moro of it is still un.
sold altogether. One cannery has
purchasrd a block of cherries out
right at 7 cents a pound.- Quite a
block of contracts have been writ'
ten on an unspecified basis by old
growers of certain lo..il canneries
who have sold their crops continu
ously over a term of years to such
canneries. Otherwise as far as can
be ascertained now the- local mar
ket for this type of cherries is vir
tually dead. .
Growers are expressing great
concern over a situation which has
not been duplicated here for sev
eral years.

Stock Fire
Insurance
and
National
Prosperity
That American business is sound
is witnessed by the huge construction
program which marks this year 1930.
Billions of dollars are being invested ,
by public utilities and railroads; by
municipal, state and federal govern- '
ments in public buildings,, plants,
bridges and highways;; by private in
terests serving the; public iii a large
way. ' Improvements, extensions and
new projects are the order of the day!
Prosperity and credit, in this country
cannot long be jarred by any specu
lative flurry.
A Wall of Defense
One major reason for this is the pro
tection afforded by insurance. Stock
Fire Insurance alone provides a cov
erage of around 150 billion dollars,
thus setting up a wall of defense for
industry and property that no adver
sity can seriously harm.
Without the support of Stock Fire
Insurance the billions for new enter
prises and replacements could not be
spent. Business would undertake no
such pretentious program without the
stabilization, the protection and the
indemnity which Stock Fire Insurance
makes possible.
Yet consistently, through the last
twenty years, the cost of this basic
commercial necessity has declined.
