THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAT, JUNE 3, 1923 13 FEW LOCAL BERRIES Supply Still Extremely Lim ited, However. BULK OAK GROVE BRAND Prices to Remain at 25 Cents Box, According to Dealers Big Berries Not Yet In. The first Oregon strawberries made 'their appearance in the markets yes terday in small quantities from Clack amas, Sherwood, Newberg and a few from Hood River and White Salmon. White the supply available for today will be extremely limited, probably not more than 60 or 76 crates, the prices will not advance, according to several dealers, and will remain at 25 cents a box, with some stalls eeHHns the smaller berries for SO cents. However, the majority of persons dieelrlng strawberries for Sunday's dinner will" have to be content with the California product, for the bulk of th beirries on the market will bo the Oak Grore brand. Inspection found these berries, extremely nice, and the price today will be 25 cents a box, straight. Yesterday they were selling at two boxes for 45 cents. Big- Oregon Berries Expected. The big Oregon berries have not ye begun to come in, but Assistant Mar ketmaster Wright thinks they should make their appearance within the coming week, providd the weather , hoflds. He said there would be no canning berries within two weeks, and' rain would upset all calculations andl make prophecy uncertain. . The California berries on the mar ket are. thought to be about the last that will come from the south. Deal ers said the market today would be short, giving that as their reason for asking the 25-cent price straight and abandoning the price . of two for 45 cents. All through the market vna. terday were small quantities of small, berries for 20 cents, and. It was the opinion of most stall managers that noma oi tneso would be available to day. Small Black Specks Left ' . Important to the housewife who contemplates buying asparagus is in formation on how to detect the nsrnr agus beetle which has affected large quantities of this vegetable. Mr. "Wright said that half of the locai supply nad been condemned on ... count of the beetle, and that so many asparagus fields had been Dlowed un der to kill off the Insect that the price would remain high all summer. .presence of the beetle can be de tected by small black specks on the stems. The little fellow plants him self on the stalk and bores in about half way, leaving the other half of his -body stick out. This : is visible and can easily be detected on in spection. The market master said that housewives should be extremely carerui in buying and should exam ine the product carefully.( Hhuburb Buying Time Here. Now Is an excellent time for the buying of rhubarb as the warm weather has made tne supply of this fast-growing plant very plentiful and the price consequently low. Good : rhubarb is selling rrom 3 to, 5 cents and canning is going on at a great pace.
