PACKERS
AFTER OUR J FRUITS;
ARE SEEKING SUPPLY
Northern Canners Said to Be Offer

. Contracts Sacred Territory of Paul
hamus Is Invaded.
Canadian fruit packers are eagerly seeking t
grab all tba availabla upplie of aoft fruits fa
the Pacific Northwest at this time and are of
fering a further advance ewer the highest price
ever recorded for contract In Oregon and
Washington.
. .While most of the recent activities of the
Canadians have been noted in Southwest Wash
ington, where the canners are freely offering
17e a pound bulk for raspberries, field run,
reports indieata that the same Interest are
preparing to move in fore into tba Willam
ette valley to secure their probable require
ment. -The fight for aoft fruit contract to becoming
intensely warm at Pacific Northwest point,
with mueu of the scrap centered around the
Puyallup section where Paulhamu baa for years
been the reigning king. The fact "that Paulha
mu invaded the : sacred territories of other
packers and tried to tore some of the local
canners out of business by offering tbem huge
prices on contracts, is given, aa on reason for
the invasion of his bom hearth. Another rea
son for the Invasion : to that all canners need
more stock than to apparently in sight in their
respective section, which . means nothing at all
except that the fruit growers will this year be
practically; a dictator in the making of value.

Millers of In Pacific Northwest are busier at
thi time than ever before known at thi season
of the year. They are running full time and
capacity but are unable to supply promptly the
great order for flour given last month by the
government, while orders for two months' ad
ditional deliver) are expected to be awarded by
the grain confutation within the next 24 hours.
Fact that up to the last month the government
did not take more than perhaps half of the flour
offered on each contract by the Pacific North
west millers caused many of tbem to offer ap
proximately twice as much flour last month
aa xitey really expected to be taken. Aa the gov
ernment took practically everything that waa of
fered, this put the millers in a hole, so to
speak, and the result is that they have been
working overtime to fill their allotments.
This has taken a huge supply of wheat and
remaining stocks held in the Pacific Northwert
are comparatively small and will probably be
fully cleaned up by the coming government con
tract. The attitude of . Max H. Houser. second vice
president of ibc Food Administration Grain cor
poration In giving seme of the miller to under
stand that profiteering upon th domestic public
will be frowned upon by the government, was a
ttop in the face to some that saw the chance lor
making aom extra money.
