In the case of black raspberries. It has been sereral thonsand per cent, and with the reds the acre age and tonnage hare doubled a number of times, This la to till the cannery demand. In the first years of the black raspberry In dustry of this section, the fruit was dried. There has been lit tle or no drying of these berries tn the past few years, for ,the can neries have needed them all. to fill their "lines." Some red raspberries have been barreled each year la the Balem district, but this demand In mnch greater Jn ;the western W-Miington field;, largely because of the aed of the canneries here for all our tonnage. Washington is so far ahead of Oregon In red raspberry growing, though our ection has overtaken and passed all the black raspberry, districts north of the Columbia river. Ia Good Profit ..Here . Prof. W. S. Brown, .chief of horticulture of the Oregon Agri cultural college, has said several timeg In the past; tew yqars. in these pages, that .we : get there In the favorable locations of the Willamette valley twice the ton nage per acre of eastern rasp fcarrv' 1s.tehM. But. even so. we do not get enough. He thinks we should get both larger yields vet. and lower overhead costs. He advocates "better methods of cultivation, careful application of needed fertilizers, the growing of cover crops, more careful pruning, and the control of in fect pests and plant diseases," which he says "are all going to have an important bearing on in creases In yields and better qual ity of product." He say's that "in canning, barreling and in drying the black raspberry, a va riety of methods of preparation have been worked out so that the trails can be suppled throughout practically the whole year with this product." and that "un doubtedly the consumption may b stimulated to some extent by advertising, and likewise? wider distribution into sections of this country and Canada where our berries are not grown." he sug gests, "may bring stimulation to the industry." Irrigation Will Help Prof. Brown says that In his opinion "the raspberry industry both red raspberrieand Mack raspberries, can be jB0railtejin NEW OUTIFTS 1RF I EARLY PROSPECT There appears to be a certainty that the Reid-Murdock concern will take over the West Salem can nery on the first of the year. There are intimations that the .capacity of the plant will be largely ln crease4, and that a huge cold stor age department will be added, in order to allow operation all the year through, in Jam and jelly making: storing the fruits till needed for processing. Thl3 is a large concern, operat ing all over the country, with plants at numerous points, and having wide markets already es tablished. It is to me presumed hat rnberries will enter largely int othe line here, -for the maklpg of jellies and jams, etc. Thus the nrrmnects are for a considerable additional outlet tv -these fruits..

The Oregon experiment station has been running some trials of sev eral different kinds of small fruits on sandy soils under irri gation, and it la found that yields can be materially Increased on lands suited to Irrigation by the application of water. Brtter Varieties Prof. Brown says that "an other field for improvement I that of better varieties. By this is meant varieties that Yield heavier and produce a better quality. The question of hardi ness under our winter conditions is important in the choosing of varieties also. During the mild winters that we usually enlov. roots of small fruits do not be come dormant for any length of time. As a consequence, when freezing weather comes, as some times happens, plants are not re sistent to the cold, and perish at temperatures considerably high er than would prove damaging in the eastern portion of the United States. Trials of many varieties are needed to determine varieties best suited to our climatic and soil conditions." 1 HAD DIG IKCKE The Red and Black Raspber ries Both Helped in Mak ing This Fine Showing The Berry Growers' Packing company of Gresham on October 1 made a report on tonnage that gives a good showing all down the line; especially on red and black raspberries. The report follows: Strawberries Total, 77 5 tons. (1927 total. 640 tons). Paid for harvesting $30,000. Red raspberries Total, 1904 tons. (1927 total. 922 tons): Paid for harvesting $95,200. Loganberries Total, 160 tons. (1927 total. 205 tons). Paid for harvesting $4,800. . Blackcaps.- Total, 13 tons. (1927. totar tons). Paid for harvesting' $475. Blackberries Total, 17 tons. (187, totals 144 Ions). Paid;. for harvesting, $5,280. Royal -vAnn, CberrIes-4-.Total, 44 V, ton. (l27;total, 56 tons).

Total cash paid for har vesting $137,515 The picking money went mostly to the school children of the poor er class, an earning privilege that would have been sorely missed but or the berry industry of that dis trict. - Jjarge Gross Value The gross value of the brry crops this year was something over $420,000, as compared with $244,467 paid to growers last year, or a gain or aoout 58 per cent.

Paulus of the Paul-J ud caanety in Salem, ana joDoer for other canneries, says tne growers of the Salem district do not produce enough red raspber ries, and the Unage. they sup ply now dees not coae ap io the standard in qaalHy they ought to furnish. They go mostly lata the "water grades." Mr. paulus says the Salem can ners and packers could use 400 to i00 tons or more annually of red raspberries. l they could get them, from ther growers ol this district. They now ship In a considerable portion of their sup- piles, from the Springbrook. New berg, Sherwood and other sec tions. Competition in These Mr. Paulus says our black raspberry growers have competi tion from the New York rasp berry districts. But it is likely that if a larger tonnage of blacks were grown here, ways would be found to handle them. In cans and by drying. Some are dried here each year now. He says the raspberries pre pared for market this year are already all sold. The boards are clean. Some red raspberries were put in the new experimental cold pack packages this year; into cartons and cans, along with a large tonnage of strawberries. How these are going to go with the consumers will perhaps not be known to any degree of certainty till the latter part of January, when most of the cannery man agers of this section will attend the national association meeting in Chicago. Bost for 10 Years Mr. Paulus says our whole pack of fruits and vegetables put up in cans is already sold out, or is going fast; even loganberries. This has not happened before for 10 years. He predicts that early in the new year there will be a frantic scramble among Jobbers and wholesalers for canned fruits and vegetables. Some of them have held off. presumably be- This Week's Slogan DID YOU KNOW That Salem is the Oregon raspberry center; that on account of the great demand of the canneries and the coming jelly and jam preserves plants here, there will not be enough raspberries grown for many years; and the prices will therefore be remun erative; that we can get here twice the per acre rasp berry tonnage that can be produced in the east; that in the matter of black raspberries, this district has what-amounts to a franchise for the black raspberry grows to perfection here, and the vines persist, bearing year after year; while in the great raspberry district of Washington the black raspberry cannot be success fully grown; that the above facts should be heralded to the entire world; that there is sure money in both black and red raspberries, and room for more growers who will raise a large tonnage to the acre of the best berries the world can send to market? mm an i mmt am all m WW1 1M IM I'l II r. , j I j r -rM t rVTHraf liflf rat HI Address r..; .. Addres. i.. r- i tiering oar canners have besn ly ing to them, and that their sap plies are not nearly exhausted. When they find they are sold short, than there will be the scramble. The clean slate that will appear around the first of the year will give heart to the canners, Sir. Paulas thinks. They will not fear to prepare for ' large packs, as they hav for several years past, running the risk of losses throagh over supplies in various lines. Wlth a good crop year here. Mr. Paulus looks for a much bus ier canning season In Salem In 1929 titan the one of " 1928. though the total Solem pack of this year will show up larger than that of any former year. E BE And Higher Quality, Too; About Enough Blacks Are Now Supplied Here The canneries of Salem pack about 40,000 cases annuany ui black raspberries, and tne ton nage has been steadily increas ing for several years. The larg est pack yet handled was put up this year. That is aooui enuusu for the present, thinks W. G.

The scarcity of pickers and the better picking opportunities of fered by loganberry gpowers has worked against the (proper in crease of the red raspberry acre age in the SalemMlrict-. als0 against the growing of a quality product.
