This will perhaps be the biggest week of the season, so far. Straw berries are still coming; even the Marshall type for barreling, in good sized volume. Fine berries, too. This week: will about finish the strawberry crop, but the hifls country will be sending some canning berries, likely, to the end of the next week or longer. Cherries are coming dally in in - creasing volume. So are loganber ries and black and red raspberries. Two Hundred Tons a Day At the Hunt cannery, there will be 200 ton days this week. Per haps not far . from that tonnage each day, or on the overage for the week. The peak of Royal Ann cherry picking will not be reached for a few days yet. Some of the large orchards have scarcely started in their contributions to the volume of the cherry supply here. The Hunt cannery will put some loganberries into barrels for the cold pack trade, or special orders. Between the barreling and can ning demands, and the drying of a few tons, it is likely that all the loganberries will be picked and marketed.

AL EASY WINNER BOURBON RACE VIRTUALLY NO CHANCE BEEN OF STOPPING GOVERNOR Opponents of Tammany Hall Can didate Unable to Coordinate Weakened Forces By JAMES L. WILLIAMS Associated Press Staff Writer j HOUSTON, Texas, June 25 (AP) rThe democratic presiden tial nomination lay just around the corner tonight for Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York. Meeting here to choose iu stan dard bearer, the party's national convention will get together to- J morrow at noon with a greater number of delegates committed to one man than at any time since 1916 when Woodrow Wilson was named by acclamation. An insistent minority was do ing battle against the New York governor tonight but it .was not coordinated force. Its cry was for a dry candidate and a dry platform,- but where the Smith ranks were solid for their man the min ority group apparently had been unable to settle upon a unity of command or upon a leader for whom to wage Its warfare. The one purpose was to defeat Smith and to most of the delegates who came here' to prime the party for the 1928 campaign that seemed to be a forlorn hope. The serenity with which the Smith ranks faced the issue con trasted sharply with the bustling manner in whUh the opposition workers dashed about in the hot Texas sun in their efforts today to line up and hold a third of the convention votes necessary to pre vent the nomination of the man they had grouped against. Smith managers even sent forth word that their main worry was to prevent his selection on the first ballot. This strategy, it was explained, was designed to pre vent wounds which might be i flicted oh favorite sons who tailed to receive their complimentary vote from the convention. - But with : signs of discourage ment visible to them on every hand, the antl-Smithrgroup-were fighting for Hull, for George; for Reed, and for anyone else whom it thought might muster the strength to prevent the elevation of the New York governor to the party leadership.
