PortJand Housewives Are Expected
to Help Save Kew Industry of
County From Collapse.
Portland housewives may be the
means of tiding- the berry men of
Multnomah county and adjacent ter
ritory through the period -when the
canning: industry is recovering; from
financial reverses following; last sea
eon's pack. It is proposed, through
an agreement now under negotiation
with the city council, to market in
ths city In the neighborhood of 100
tons of raspberries, loganberries,
blackberries and blackcaps at a price
fair to consumer and grower during
the month of July.
The berries- will be sold at a new
market area to be established in
Yamhill street. between Kirst and
Kront streets, and' will be disposed
of from grower or growers' associa
tion direct to the Portland house
wives. It is probable that some ber
ries will be marketed by the close
of next week, but definite announce
ment will be forthcoming as soon
as negotiations for the transaction
are completed between Market Master
Kastman and D. E. Towel, manager
of the Co-Operative Berrygrowers'
association of Gresham.
Commerce Body Backs Plan.
The negotiations are not in line
with the strawberry fiasco of a
month ago, inaugurated by Pred
"Wright of the Hubbard berrygrowers'
association, but are backed by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce in
an effort to avert a crisis that con
fronts the berry men of this county.
Judge George E. Stapleton introduced
the matter before the city council
yesterday as spokesman of a com
mittee from the Chamber of Com
merce. Berry growers of the Gresham
neighborhood face the alternative of
finding a market for 470 tons of small
fruit during the next six weeks or al
lowing their season's work and in
vestment to go to waste. The can
nery which has handled their product
in the past is closed down. The berry
men are trying to raise enough capi
tal to open the cannery. If they are
able to do that they will divide their
berries between the Portland market
and the cannery. If they fail with
the cannery Portland is their only
hope for an outlet to an enormous
crop of berries.
New Industry Threatened.
The question of disposing of the
crop is not merely one of preventing
waste, but of saving a new industry
worth thousands of dollars to the
county, Judge Stapleton ' explained. ,
Portland housewives do not stand
to lose by the transaction, for one of
the stipulations made by the council
was that the market should be sup
plied with first-class fruit in quanti
ties at the fairest price the growers
could make and realize a profit on the
transaction.
The exact price will not be known
until a meeting of the directors'of the
association at Gresham tonight, but
it was indicated before the council
that loganberries and blackberries
would be about J1.10 the crate, Cuth
bert raspberries and blackcaps, $1.60,
and Marlborough raspberries $1.25 as
a maximum price. A further reduc
tion of about 8 cents a crate will be
possible through an exchange of
crates and covers. The hallocks, or
fillers, cannot be used again.
Big Opportunity Offered.
The disposal of the berries will
mean a great opportunity to Portland
families with sugar prices - at the
present level, members of the council
and the Chamber of Comm'erce com
mittee declared. The refusal of can
neries to handle fruit except at ex
ceedingly low prices may not mean
cheap canned fruit to the consumer
who depends on the canned product.
The actual canning costs are high and
will amount to about $3 the 24-can
case, according to figures submitted
to the council.
The fact that canners are packing
only a fraction of their usual output
may hold up prices rather than force
them down, some members pointed
out, but if Portland housewives make
1921 a "home canning" season they
will have little to fear from the fruit
supply, no matter what turn affairs
may take.
The Chamber of Commerce delega
tion Included Judge Stapleton, E. C
Johnson, W. O. Munsell, O. M. Plum
mer, P. w. Merrill and E. N. Wein-baura.
