This company has already bought 400 tons of the 1928 crop of strawberries. Is still buying, and will continue to buy as long as sales of the berries can be made. That is an item of encouragement for strawberry growers who are still looking for an outlet for their crops . If this thing keeps up, with all the packers here, all the strawberries will be taken. There is encour agement in the new pack in the 30 pound cans, for the trade that has been supplied in barrels. Also, in the "jitney" cans of preserved berries the little cans, selling at 10 cents a can. With the many outlets being developed, the Salem district's 12,000,000 pound crop of strawberries, the tonnage produced last year, will have a chance for expansion. Some day, we will be able to market a 24,000,000 pound crop. CH FILES II PROHECrnON FOR LARCKVY - XDT TO STASD IX WAY MEDFOHD, Ore., April 11- fAP.

BERRY CANNING OUTLOOK FAR BEYOND YEAR AGO (t mo paaaftaoo) Mr. showed a jar of strawberry pre serves such as are now selling for Z3 cents a pound, one of the spec ial ways being usea to dispose of this crop. The new 80 pound tin h also becoming popular for sell ing fresh berries, due to the in crease in .electric refrigeration which permits restaurants to have a supply of fresh berries the year around. Loganberries: This crop, sub stituted several years ago for rasp berries, haa become remarkably popular In England. Three years ago Great Britain could not get enough, so its Jobbers bought in advance two years ago and were overstocked. The carryover re duced last year's demand, but the surplus will probably be cleaned up by the time the crop Is ready. However, they are not likely to buy in advance so generally. Growers who are known to supply the higher grades consistently. will have no trouble in selling their crop. The lower "pie" grade must compete with t He blackberry. fears: uaiuornia reports a 230,000 ton crop, which will re duce the demand for Oregon pears. Prunes: Half a million cana are being packed yearly, and the out put Is increasing, because at its low price, thla product haa no competitor. The pack may reach three-fourths of a million cans this year. Dried Prunes: Last year the ex port Jumped from 158 million pound to 229 million. There are four million pounds left hare; 27 In California. Thla will probably be cleaned up before the new crpp la ready. A new email' tin la now being produced which will permit moat products to be aold at 19 cents a tin, and the big chain stores are Paulus popularizing this to an extent which will Increase the sale of many of them, Mr. Paulus men tioned. , IsMi'llM Bits For Breakfast Blossom day time la a good time to think about how big our bulb industry may be come.

He has a host of Salem friends who are wishing for the complete success of the operation. He will be at the hospital about six weeks. Here is a novel contest. A w fit ter in "Better Flowers" recently stated that 'in order to continue to interest flower growers, new and unusual varieties, never seen before, must continually be pre sented." Carrying out this idea somewhat. H. C. Bateham of the Floral Gardena on the Wallace road has made arrangements with Mr. Myers of the Spa to exhibit, from time to time, some new and rare varieties of flowers on hla counter. The first person guessing correctly the name of the flower Is presented with the bouquet free of .charge. The contest Is both In structive and entertaining, often attracting quite a crowd. Mrs. J. M.
