Oregon Growers Announce
Market for Small Fruits
of '1922 . Season
-1 !
It Is announced that the Oregon
Growers have already sold ali;or
practically all ot their 1922 pack
of gooseberries, -!- raspberries,
strawberries and cherries. Jar t
what this pack is to be. Is still a
matter for conjecture, but the
selling end of the association has
found the demand good enough
that it has already closed for this
large part of the total canned
product of the association.
: ' Not Primarily Packers
' The GrowWs, however, are not
primarily heavy packers. They
put up a considerable quantity of
canned goods as a saving proposi
tion when the fruit is not in con
dition to : ship, or there is too
much for the Immediate market,
or for various other local reasons.
The corporation has not yet In
vested heavily In expensive plants,
though it is understood that this
year may call for a heavier pro-1
ductlon of canned stuff than any
previous year. The' corporation
handles a vastly larger quantity
of dried and fresh fruits:

New Plant Disease is
Found by Berry Growers
Some of the loganberry experts
are investigating a new plant dis
ease that has been reported in the
Willamette valley, according to
the report from the Oregon Grow
ers' association.
It is not yet' fully or satisfac
torily diagnosed, but it comes on
the last year's canes that have
been trained up on the wires. It
is a rot or cellular affection at
the crown of the plant, believed
to bo due to an excess of water,
and not to any insect pest. .The
cane borer, that leads to a some
what similar appearance of the
plant itself, is easily detected;
this blight or trouble shows no
sign of the borer's presence. The
new canes or sprouts are not af
fected. .
The attention of growers Is
called to this plant condition,
and suggestions that may lead 10
Its control are eagerly awaited.
Any one who finds his vines so
affected, and has a suggestion as
to the cause and the remedy, will
find a welcome in the loganberry
business. - v i

gallons over the February sales,

Secretary of State Sam A. Koser
based on. reports "turned . in to
him -by the distributing compan

late, due to spring farm work,
shows an increase of almost 300
per cent over February.
The total amount accruing to
the state for the month of March
under the provisions of the motor
vehicle fuel taxes was $65,895.12
and of this amount $32,571.45
was under the original act of

the act ot 1921.
Receipts of the state during
March, 1921, were $64,543.99.

had more than $20,000 of state
fuads. When Mr. Ryan left tr.
treasurer's office this bank bad
$120,000 of state money.
Mr. Hoff is not a banker. He
has been criticised for depositing
$150,000 in the State Bank of
Portland, but this bank; was six
times as large as Ryan's bank.
The state's money in the State
bank Is secured by $175,000 ?t
bonds in the possession of Mr.
Hoff.
' Mr. Ryan accepted at their face
value, estates filed In the inheri
tance tax department.
Mr. Hoff examined every bit of
property and insisted on the true
value being given, with the result
that in the past three years the
state has received '$60,000 more
in taxes than it would have re
ceived had Mr. Hoff not adopted
this policy.
When Mr. Ryan left the treas
urer's office in 1918, $1,000,000
of the accident funds were left on
deposit by him in banks drawing
2 per cent interest.
Mr. Hoff invested these funds
in good bonds earning 6 per cent
and realized on an increase in
funds ot 92 per cent, 196 per
cent In increased earnings, or ap
proximately $71,000 -a year.
The above facts are easily
proved and they tell the story of
Ryan and Hoff. Investigate, make
the comparison, and use your own
Judgment.

The Capital Journal printed an
attack on State Treasurer Hoff
which is a, rehash ot a dead issue
with which the voters of this city
are familiar. No answer is need
ed to that. The following are
facts as shown by the public rec
prds:
, Disregarding the assertions of
both Mr. Hoff, state treasurer,
candidate for a second term, and
Mr. Ryan, a former deputy treas
urer, who la opposing Mr. Hoff
for the Republican nomination.
the facts in the case are over
whelmlngly In favor of Mr. Hoff,
