FRESH FRUIT
IN MIDWINTER
Department of Agriculture
Sajs They May be Stored
I at Freezing Point
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3. Fresh
berries and Cherries in mid-whiter
are possible, the experts of the de
partment of agriculture announce
after extensive experiments. Suc
cessful methods of storing fruits
arid berries 1ft frozen condition
hare been demonstrated and. the
government experts say. these
should be more fully utilized in
relieving Jhe market of surplus
receipts ' of highly perishable
fruits while, in sound, edible con
dition!! They declare that preser
vation by freezing is cheaper than
canning, especially, when tin con
tainers are costly, as at present.
And an important Industry of
(Steady development la looked for
Mn thia line.
Fruit held at proper tempera
tures, the expert say. has a more
natural flavor than when canned
or dried and is fully as satisfac
tory as fresh fruit, is superior to
canned and dried fruit in making
ice creams and sherbets, and for
cooking in the form of pies, pre
serves, jellies, and other desserts
and confections.
Strawberries, red and b;ack
raspberries, blackberries, logan
berries, blueberries, gooseberries,
currants and sour cherries have
been found to keep successfully
after being frozen. Berries can be
frozen in the crates in which mar.
keted in temperature from 10 de
grees Fahrenheit to zero and be
low and withdrawn from cold
storage when wanted. The fruits
become waterlogged when taken
out and collapse and therefore
must be used Immediately. Gov
ernment experts say, however,
that they retain their natural fla
vor and in every way are compar
able to the best fresh products.

MANY FIRMS
GIVE PICNICS
500,000 Persons Enter
tained This Year by Pitts
burgh Companies
PITTSBURGH. Sept. 8. More
than 500.000 persons have this
year attended the pienfes glveu
by industrial concerns in Pitts
burgh to their employes, accord
ing to the estimates of amuse
ment park managers and a num
ber of the most important are yet
to be held.
Arrangements for these great
gatherings of workmen and their
families are on a colossal scale
and carried out by an efficient
ora-nni'ton of trained engineers
and office men. It occasionally
happens, as in the case of the
Clairton plant ot the Carnegie
Steel company, that no picnic
ground was available. So the en
gineers selected a nic bit of vir
gin forest not far fron fne town,
built good roads in and through
it. erected merry-go-rounds and
other traditional amusement de
vices, "built refreshment booths
and a dancing platrorm and when
the thousands of steel workers
and their families reached the
place for a day's enjoyment,
they found it as complete as if it
had been standing for years.
The quantity of provisions re
quired for the entertainment for
a big plant and its workers as
tonishes those who know little of
such enterprises.
At one industrial picnic held
here recently, three tons of beef
and four tons ot boiled ham were
required for the sandwiches. Five

A total of 339.730 pamphlets
containing the proposed constitu
tion!! amendments and other
measures mibmittcd to the voters
of Oregon at the general election
in November, have been mailed to
the voters by Secretary of State
Kor.cr. The mailing of the book
lets was completed yesterday.
Two of the measures were re
ferred to the wopIe by the legis
lative assembly, one was referred
by referendum petition and the
other eight have been proposed
by initiative petition.
lc rr XteI
At the election of November 5,
19 is. only six measures were re
ferred to the people. It is be
lieveJ that the decrease in the
number of measures sent to the
people each November in the last
10 years is due to special elec
tions that have been called in thJ
early summer following the last
several sessions of the legislature.
The greatest number of ' meas
ures that have ever been referred
to the people at any election was
in 1912 when 38 were before, the
people for their consideration.'
The smallest number was in 1904
immediately following the initia
tive and referendum provision of
the constitution when only four
measures were voted on.
Postage on the measures which
the secretary of state finished
mailing yesterday amounted to
$3397.50.
Time Limit Fiil
"Under the law making effec
tive ihe initiative and referendum
provision of the constitution,
pamphlet copies of all measures
referred to the people at a gen
eral election are required to be
mailed to all registered voters not
later than the 55th day before the
general election at which they are
to be voted uinm." said Mr. Ko-
xer. "Today being the 55th day
before the general election occur
November 2. 1920. the mailing of
the pamphlets was completed
within the time provided by law.
"Notwithstanding the natural
'ncrease in the number of voters
in the state from election to elec
tion, it has 'been po&sible for the
secretary of state to meet the re
quirements of the law prescrib
ing the time within which copies
of the measures shall be mailed
to the voters. There are 11
amendments and measures re
ferred to the people in all of the
counties except Umatilla, in
which there are 12 measures,
one. styled. 'Umatilla county
law" beng a measure having ref
erence to that county only.
