New Process An
Outlet For More
Oregon Cherries?
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.

wbon alone with Mr. James. J
"Something troubling you, Jlny

"Sooms to me the Boss Is weaken

ly he rolled a cigarette with bis left
hand, while bis right hand remained
behind his back, a favorite attitude
with Mr. James and one which al
ways troubled Dr. MacAdoo, whose
left hand liked to know what M(.
James's right band was doing. j
"I'll say the Hobs Is weakening.
Jimmy." ho agreed. "Don't you sa
I snld so, but I've come to the con
clusion that tho Boss Is doing two
things. He's playing his own gamp
and he's weakening too." ;
