J. P. KEI.T.KY. The Making of Jam in Oregon Portland, Sept 17. To the Editor of The Journal. We would respectfully call your attention to an article in your oaoer dated Monday, September 9, ana headed "Brownsville Answers Call to Do Work in Cannery." In this article it say. "Others work nights In order that no jam for the soldier boys shall go to waste." This is only one of the many articles which we have seen in. your paper relating to contracts for jam being made at different canneries in the state. We desire to advise you of thJ fact that there' is only one contract held for jam foithe army or navy In this state, and thatcontract is held by ourselves and we have not sought any publicity In this matter, but we do seriously object to competitors, no matter how small theytl are, misrepresenting through the medium of your paper, that they are making jam for the army, in order to secure uoor and fruit. Thla is unfair to the govern ment, which has placed large contracts with us. For your guidance in tnis mar.; ter. we would advise that we operate or control the following plants manufac turing Jam on government orders: Val ley- Canning eompany. ruewoerg. ur. Eueene Fruit Growers association. Eu gene. Or. ; A. Rupert company, ureenam. Or. We also operate ana control tne ioi lowing: Lebanon Canning company, Lebanon. Or.; Creswell Fruit Growers association.' Creswell. Or.; Junction City cannery. Junction City. Or.; Starr Fruit Products company, peruana, me latter four plants are not manufactnr- lnar lam on government orders. For your further lniormauon, it your paper wishes to go into the details of the canning business in Oregon and as certain the volume of business that is being done, we would be very glad to put our facilities at your disposal wnnotn asking any publicity on our own ac count. We think It would pay your paper to send a . man to our Kewberg plant, as this la the best equipped plant in Oregon at the present time. . We trust that yon will Investigate tne above matter carefully and consult with the quartermaster of the united Suites army lf yon wish to find out the exact facts. A.
