PRELIMINARY CHERRY REPORT IS PUBLISHED Prom the United States depart ment of agriculture comes a very interesting preliminary cherry report for the state of Oregon. It Is very exhaustive and is given as follows: During the fall and winter of 1929-30 an inquiry was made of Oro Kon cherry growers rclativo to num ber, atjc and variety of trees, also i production and prices received for mo iuz'j crop, Tms main mauiry wan supplemented by personal inter- j views during the summer of 1930. ! From some of the counties a very ; good percentage of returns was re I ceived; Prom Wasco county. It is be ' Moved that about 00 per cent of the t cherry growers wero of great assls i tance in securing reports from grow- crs not reporting direct. While the , reports do not constitute a census of Oregon cherry trees, they do form an excellent "sample" and therefore , show trends In the industry. Below is a state summary of the reports re ceived. i Arp nuil Variety of Oregon j Cherry Trees (1,050 reports) i Set fall Trees Varieties '29, sp. '29 1-3 yrs.

It will probably be several months yet before the census data Is avail able. In the foregoing tables it was as sumed that all trees under the ago of seven years might . properly be classified as non-bearing. On this basis it will be observed that 60.0 per cent of the trees reported are in the non-bearing-groups and with 23.0 per cent In the oldest group of nonbearing. This would seem to Indicate a considerable increase in production in the very near future. The tablo also indicates a rather heavy planting of sour cherries in recent years. 67.0 per cent :of the sour cherries reported are in the non-bearing grouiis, with nearly 20.0 per cent in the youngest group. While the table shows only 8.0 per cent of all ages on the sour class, the non-bearing groups contain about 11.0 per cent "sours and tho youngest group Includes 22.0 per cent 'sours.' The heaviest plant ings of sour cherries are reported from Lano county. Lane reports In dicate about 24.0 per cent of all cherry trees in the sour class, with only about 34.0 per cent of the sours in the bearing age groups, while 16.0 per cent ore in the youngest age groupJ McClay's Stores Store No. 1 1704 Adams Phone M 515 Complete Service From Our Shelves to Your Kitchen Table 2 lbs.

Since cherry trees are often planted as "fillers", in wal nut and otlier orchards such plant ings are relatively few trees per acre. In i he older plantings there aro olten many missing trees. Most ror porters did not j!'va acreage, but the average of those who did will run around 60 trees per acre. The bureau of the census made a count of cherry and other fruit trees In the spring of 1U30. The census enumeration, however, did not list, varieties or ages, except to classify them as bearing and non-bearing. As soon as tho census eountiii are available It is proposed to apply the Oregon sample data to the total numbers reported from each county to determine tho number of each Over The Valley Personals to describe the exhilarating aroma and full-bodied flavor of Hills Bros Coffee which is roasted evenly ... continuously 2i at 1 1 m helping her on the quilt nmi .enjov Ini; n .'.pletulld dinner at noon.

THIS PROCESS Controlled Roasting in vented and patented by Hills Bros., is radi- i cally different from any other method of roas'ting coffee. . Here's the. reason: Hills Bros, roast their rare blend by a continuous, exact process a few pounds at atime. The common method is to roast in bulk at once.3 The difference in resuks is obvious Hills Bros, are able to roast every berry to uniform perfection, while rjie bulk-method cannot j prevent variation in the roast. 0 No matter when or where you buy Hills Bros. Coffee, it is always fresh because it is packed in vacuum. By jhis process, sair, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out and kept out of the can. Coffee packed in ordinary cans, even if airtight, does not stay fresh. Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee. Ask for it by name and look for the Arab the trade-mark on the can. .
