Berry Storage
Facilities Short,
Rainage Foresees
A shortage of storage facilities
in the northwest for the 1943 ber
ry crop was foreseen this week by
John Ramage, head of the North
Marion Fruit company at Wood
burn- It may be necessary to ship
tne barreled fruit to the midwest,
Ramage believes.
Outlook for a canned berry Dack
is very dim, the fruit dealer be
lieves, except for that taken on
government order. The bulk must
be processed in barrels. The fruit
company handled over 3000 bar
rels last year and expects 'more
during the coming season.
Ramage foresaw a good year.
The unprecedented demand will
presage high price and a fair
profit unless unforeseen circum
stances arise. The high water
seems to have done little, if any,
damage. : .

Aids Grains I
CHICAGO. Feb. 1V-VP)-A fa
vorable interpretation of legisla
tive developments in Washington,
where two bills designed to in
crease agricultural prices ap
peared to be progressing, gave the
grain market a firm tone Thurs
day, t ii
. Wheat was the early market
leader, advancing about Vk cent
shortly after the opening, but rye
had recorded the major upturn at
the close. Corn came in lor more
attention than recently, making
wider gains than the bread cer
eal. .v j; "r-i-r-
At the close . wheat was ii
higher. May $1.40-, July $1.-397A-4.
,!
The early upturn in wheat,
supported by covering of previ
ous short sellers and local pro
fessional buying, ran Into resist
ance at $1.40 for the May con
tract. This had been a stopping
point on ; other upturns. ; Grain
men said commission houses ap
parently had considerable 'May
wheat to sell at that level.
