The largest cherry rack In the history of Lane County. 43K.flfO pounds, has Just been put up at the plant of the Eugene Fruitgrowers' Association. The reck- not only exceeds In o,uantlty that of anv previous year, but the oualltr Is fine. The thinning of th blossoms hy early frosts resulted In exceptionally large fruit. Of the total output. IS carloads were made Into maraschino cherries for the soda fountain trade, and were parked barrels; three carloads of the fresh fruit were shipped to points In North ern California, and one carload of the canned fruit was consigned to Pan Francisco, making a total of 1 car loads shipped from here. An Interesting detail of this years crop Is the shipment of Oregon fruit nlo California. The largest previous pack of rherrlea In Ijtne County was In lo. when the total ran to 34S.ni pounds. The pack for 1J0 and 1S10 waa the same for both years 300.000 pounds. Owing to the exceedingly hot and dry weather, the loganberry crop will fall considerably short of the estimate. Contracts entered Into by the Fruit growers' Association call for COO cases of this fruit, but It la probable that not over too cases will be put up. The red raspberry crop, however, will show considerable gain over former years. One hundred and fifty rases will be put up this year, as against 100 cases. ha largest previous pack. n'A" l '" i'J I t as" mm fl C-7 -ue 4 U, .'- '-aii Vose, elegant mahogany, $215; smaller size, $135.
