OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Cor valllB, April 6 Perfection of a. mara schino process which may provide profitable outlet for the growing sur plus of Royal Ann and other white cherries In Oregon is announced by tho horticultural products division of the Oregon Experiment Btntlon. The process is the result of two years research by H. fi. Wiegand, head of the division, and D. E. Bullls, assist ant chemist. Most of the American supply of maraschinn cherries in the past has been imported under formulae held as trade secrets. In recent years some demand has Arisen for brined cherries, which is the first step in the maraschino process. Tho experiments here have resulted In perfecting Improved formulae which will soon be published for the general use of the fruit canning and preserving trade. Hundreds of tests wero run to determine the best bleach, the best hardening solution and other treatment to cut down the loss from cracking, and otherwise give an attractlvo product.- Already The Dalles Cooperative Growers plant and two canneries In -Salem have put the new method Into commercial .piucuce au ,a limited scale with entire success.' It has been found that the waterhouse cherries and other small sized sorts that have heretofore been severely discounted, are equally suitable for- processing for maraschino purposes. The experiment station men arc now carrying the tests a step -farther and attempting to complete the en tire process of bleaching, hardening, dyeing and flavoring In the original barrels, thus avoiding loss from dam ago In handling. Indications are that this plan will prove successful. Twonty-two Craven county, N. C, hog growers have sold five oars of Shay -fed hogs for $4600.
