Canneries Nott Expected to
- Accept Much -More than
Half of 1922 Tonnage
. At a meeting of bankers, ,can-nerymen-
and loganberry: growers,
called Friday morning by Joseph
H. Albert of the Capital National
bank. It fwas not found possible
even to recommend. any plan that
promised to be -effective to take
care of? the t loganberry situation
in the Willamette .valley for this
year. ' v .
The canners declare that they
still have large quantities of. last
years pack'bn hand that they cab
not sell. Quotations have dropped
to 50 per cent of the last fall's
price, and . still the water-pack
berries do not sell. There is -a
large, quantity of dried , berries
still, on haad in, Oregon, the sale
for which . Is , extremely problem
atical under; present conditions.
; . Will i Accept Some ' ---
The Canners, however, expect to
take on: some I new logans this
year, mostly : if rnot altogether
from their regular customers; who
have -other j fruits toi help balance
the i trade supply. Itrls -under
stood that no. buyers-have offered
less than -eents a -pound, though
eome -offers of berries have been
jstades by: growers for lower prices.
-The canneries . are . expected ..to
take 50 --percent of their - last
year's tonnage. They might, take
more as the season progresses
a day or two might change the
situation considerably. The can
neries did not approve of the plan
to can the berries, for the grow
ers and leave them to run wild in
the market to 'destroy every ves
tige of stability for the years to
come by wildcat selling.' It might
be possible for some of the grow
ers to arrange for some such plan
to care for a few berries., It. was
not judged feasible at the Friday
conference. Vil
Carload Goes Today
Friday night the first carload
of logans to be shipped fresh' for
the past several years was put
into the Capital Ice & Cold Stor
age warehouse for pre-cooling and
for shinment this mornlncr. The
terries are of-wonderful quality.
The Oregon Loganberry exchange,
that is making this first ship
ment hopes to handle up to three
or four cars a day if the season
holds out welL This will do won
ders in relieving the situation.
The berries have to be picked
greener than for local cannery
use. They are shipped in shallow
hallocks and they have to be of
first quality.
JVoodbum Wants 250 Tons
The little Woodburn. juice plant
will ! take about 250 tons of ber
ries.' This Is a pooling venture,
on a plan developed for the mar
keting of : the .berries in juice
form for the trade. It will not
prepare the stuff for retail trade
In small bottles. If. the plant
could get sufficient glass of the
gallon size and larger, it might
be : possible to increase the con
sumption, though this is not a
'sale,"-but a cooperative pool In
which the contributors take their
oWnsbareJottbe chances.. How
ever, it looks to be good for at
least 5 cents a pound. f
