FRUIT MEN ARE HOPEFUL The dominant note of the forty-first annual meeting of the Oregon State Horticultural society, in session in, Salem the past three days and to continue at the Salem Chamber of Commerce rooms today, (giving in the meeting of,. today emphasis upon the bulb industry), and at the banquet last evening t The dominant note has been one of optimism - Ajid this is remarkable and encouraging, considering the hardL knocks many of the members in certain lines of horti culture,' like prune growing, have suffered. The leading men in the sessions have spoken of the hour before dawn being the darkest, and of the' fact that every cloud has a silver lining t And they have talked about the lowest ebb having been reached ' J Some of them rather cynically, because they have reflected that the tide could not get lower. . - Horticulture in Oregon represents the greatest of our agricultural lines; in canned products alone, as related by a speaker at the banquet last evening, it brings $35,000,000 annually to our state . - And has grown from a pack of a million cases in 1920 to one of about 8,000,000 cases this year. It is submitted that this represents a remarkable expan sion, but 'there is room' for vast growth yet; for continuous growth, with the steady growth of the population of the United States, and with expanding world markets. The state owes much to the men who make up the mem bership and official roster of the Oregon State Horticultural society. These men are pointing the way towards stabiliza tion;, the more uniform profits of those engaged in all branches of the industry, from the grower up r. Looking to higher per acre tonnage and higher quality and better methods of harvesting and packing and marketing. All of these things concern the stability of the horticultural industries, and therefore the welfare of our whole population. t - OREGON 1IEKT PLANTINGS- ' h Jf O W IT'S ; "CLEANSED" FRUIT "That'old'adage about aflrer- linings in the blackest of clouds has an application in the spray residue dialemnia that worried many a grower the past season. - "If the reader has not heard the statement that it is worth while to turn out and market the cleaner fruit that northwestern growers have been obliged to ship this season, it is because he ia far from the seat of the discussion. Mea in the best position to judge are openly and emphatically making this statement. They are saying that, regardless of future-residue regulations, the Pacific northwest here after must market its apples and pears in this cleaner, more attractive state. ' . v - "Looks as though it took a near-calamity to disclose that our superior fruits could be made more attractive than ever before. "It already has been suggested that our growers capitalize here after on the cleanliness of their fruit. Some have made a start in this direction. A slogan about our 'niechaniciiMy cleansed fruit is in order." , - t - ' That is a good idea. The Willamette valley apple growers haVe also a slogan that they should stress. "It's the flavor" is their slogan. . . ' Under that slogan, with the right varieties, commercial apple growing in the Willamette valley can be made a stabil ized and profitable industry. The growing local . market, among others is worth exploiting and satisfying. The time is going to come when a big apple industry can be maintained in this valley on the local demand exclusively.' r Blt. ro, Breakfast T NEW PAPER MILL READY O : ' Hort folks with us yet Ist- Helens Company Completes She marketing of that berry CENSUS SHOWSV.2,500 -- ACRES SMALL FRUITS . (Continued from page 1) ' and' the bureau of economics of the United State " department of agricultural estimates the Oregon acreage for 1&25 as 12.500. Mr. Hatch brought out the fact that strawberries from west of the Cascades do not ship well and un til more suitable varieties are in troduced believes little progress will be made along that line. The berries however grown in Eastern Oregon and Washington are of good shipping quality and could be shipped in much greater quantity without interferring with. the dis tribution of strawberries in the United States. ' " be raspbe rries r a Ised 1 n t he northwest are without doubt the best produced in the United States J according to Mr. Hatch and the greatest drawback in- their wider distribution is what their perish able nature necessitating con sumption within a minimum time after being placed on the market. Mr, Hatch stated that onr black berries ripen so late in the season that they have to compete in the markets with local grown Mack berries and practically all other deciduous fruits and no consider able headway has been made in Costly Pulp Plant in session at Chamber of Com merce rooms all day today a "a v ith discussions devoted prin- t cipaily to the bulb industry. j ; Safem people should nil the meeting room, for this is the orig inal bulb city, and the bulb cen ter, and hoping to maintain that profitable distinction.

If the crop shows up well during the. coming season the Utah-Idaho Sugar company will consider .the placing of a factory h.ere, providing 8,000 acres of beets can be pledged for the following season." - l Thebove' is s f rom the current issue of "Facts About Sugar," JSew York," the leading' magazine of its kind in that industry.

Salem, Oregon's greatest can ning city, will be interested to know hat the industry in this state has grown from an output of about 1,000,000 cases in 1920 io about 8,000.000 cases this year. And Salem packed this year a ?reat deal more than the whole state pack of 120.

Strawberries. Mr. Hatch said, were the most universally grown small fruit in America practically every state growing them to some extent and twenty or more states growing in commercial quantities, the greater part of the crop being con sumed in it's fresh state. He ad vocated that it would be well to plant strawberries about two years hence when the present plantings had lived their life. Strawberries, he said, were used1 more than any other small fruit, about sixty per cent of all berries used for jams, soda fountains, etc. being strawberries; 20 per cent 1924 Ford coupe, in fine shape, an excellent buy for $275.
