Increased Plantings of Marshall Berries Urged Farmers ef the Salem territory are being encouraged to increase the acreage of Marshall strawber ries, according to F. H. Madden, northwest manager of Reld Mur doch and company, who was in Salem Tuesday from Seattle. Many farmers are planning -to increase greatly the plantings of Marsballs during the coming year. Reid Murdoch will be able to han dle many more berries of this va riety next season because of the increased output of preserved berries that is planned, said Mr. Madden. The Marshall variety is best sujted - to preserving and freezing and those packing plants which put out the frozen berries are finding a ready market for them. So far the Reid Murdoch company has not entered -exten sively into the cold packing field The strawberry crop this year has been, very light, averaging little more than 2S per cent eff the normal yield. Because of this the pack of preserved, canned an rosea berries in the Salem can neries this year will be much be low normal. The present economic depres sion has caused a decrease in te demand for at! kinds of canned goods. This is due entirely hew ever to the general financial -, pression and not to any floediny of the market or poor Quality ef products put out by American . canneries. The present prospect for a eherry crop is very good snd nvat local eannerymen seem to feel that th f"p will be ample for the demand. The new tariff ruK ing is not likely to affect the price of this year's crop to any great extent because eastern. , packers of gtace and marachlnor cherries have a heavy supply efc brined cherries In storage.
