The peak load of the strawberry harrest will probably arriTe around the first of . next week if we do not get copious' showers before, Sunday; I though there is at least one irrigated patch in which picking will not commence until Monday. " I" " " The Probable Pack , The Salem canneries packed 60,000 cases of strawberries in 1922. That was 83 per cent of the canned strawberries' of the Pacific northwest for that year. Last year, the Marion county can neris Increased their strawberry pack to a total of 117,939 cases; probably a still higher proportion of all the strawberries put up . in that form in these three suites Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Not -counting the barrelled pack, which was large. The acreage in the Salem dis trict Is larger this year than It was last year; the pack wouio hare-been much greater; but the dry May and the sultry days so far In June have cut down the" yield. If we get a lot of rain in the next day or two. the pack wlU be larger than last year. If we go through the season without any more rain, the pack may not be as large as it was last year. ' One canneryman said yesterday that the increased acreage will probably bring the total up to last year's pack. .

How ever, barreling of cherries is now under way at ' several packing houses. The ' gooseberries this year are) reported to be fairly good, though nothing exceptional. In general, a good total pack is anticipated for this fruit. Can nerymen are saying but little re garding the strawberries, other man the season will be short, and that the lack of rain has affected the size of the fruit. ; More 'than Ihvxt men and wom en, chiefly the latter, are now be ing employed In the various Salem canneries and packing houses and those applying for work are hay ing but little difficulty in obtain ing employmnt. The number employed at the individual canneries varies great ly with the amount of fruit' re ceived, however, and whea 100 may be employed one week,. the following week may find three and four times' that number ac tively engaged in fruit sorting and in the various departments of the canneries. ' It was stated at the Starr Fruit Products company yesterday that more girls were needed. The Producers' Canning : & Packing company has about 90 employed at present while Hunt Brothers have approximately 400 men and women at their plant. Ati the Oregon Packing company plant (Twelfth street), there are nearly, 300 girls with about 100 at the Starr plant. The North west cannery Is employing about 250 men and women at present. King's Products' company is not opened at present. , Barreling Them Fast The barreling plants of Baker, Kelly St. McLaughlin pat up on Tuesday 155 barrels of strawber ries, at Salem, Albany and Wood- burn. That means about 2500 crate of strawberries. These people employ about 175 people in the Salem plant, in the Salem Fruit union building taking up about all the room that is available. They are employing 75 to 100 each at their Albany and Wood burn plants.' Mr. Mc Laughlin has , been here for sav eral weeks. Mr. Kelly arrived from; Caifornia yesterday. ' Mr Baker lives in California, but this firm has1 large barreling interests also in western Washington. ; Mr. McLaughlin expects, their peak load on strawberries here about the first of next week, if the weather remains dry.

Interested parties ought to see to this. This flax is high enough now to make a good long line fiber, if pulled. - t- ; i There is a tradition among lin en manufacturers' that where fall sewn flax can be grown, it is' like ly to .make a stronger fiber than the spring sown flax, and a better quality of seed. Here is a chanoe to experiment in this respect, and it should be done. . - ' It may show the way to a surer crop, in dry years. - , -Three Bets with this .

Probably" Not 80OO Tons . Nearly 4000 acres' of land in the Salem. district is in flax.. It has been estimated that a normal yield would mean something like 8000 tons; a bumper yield more. There will not likely be 8000 tons grown this year, and a good deal of the flax will be fit only ' for upholstering tow or for spinning into sack twine and coarse fabrics. . That is, unless we get some rain, and get '. it right now, and have it followed throughout the season with liberal showers. - That is the situation. .Without anymore -rain at all, there will be a lot of flax, a good deal of it fit for long, fiber;, but there will not be anything like a full crop, owing to so much of the seed be ing very late sown.- :. - ;"' But with rain soon, and then frequently showers, we may ; get 8000 tons', nearly all of it fit for long fiber, t ,,. .
