' By a GENEVIEVE MORGAN , Peaches grown in The Dalles are favored by Willamette valley cannerymen over peaches grown In the Willamette valley because "dry Jand" peaches have a much better flavor. So In effect says an editorial In a recent Issue of The Dalles Chronicle. ; But that's all imagination and then some. , ' , For the , past . season not a neach from The Dalles was canned In the Salem canneries. A check with the Salem canner ies reveals that; and that can almost speak for the Willamette valley, for Salem plants handle the bulk of the valley pack. : As a matter of fact, pach canning here has been largely n evnerlment so far and prac tical! r every local peach avail able has been purchased by the canneries. That is,; of course, lo- Salem canneries and m fact all valley plants, local canners say. purchased their outside peacnes from Takima the last season. The reason is that sufficient tonnage is not grown here to meet the canners' needs. Local peach rrowers prefer to sell : on - the fresh market because they real-1 Ize more for their product. r Salem canneries bought large quantities of apricota from The Dalles - but no apricots are grown locally. Some The Dallea cherries were purchased for lo cal canneries ' the. past season, but they were not delivered be- eamut weather conditions put a ston to that.
