AT YOUH GrOCEirS Mid-Willamelle I Vaflley News Reports From Berry Growers To Pool Crop At Lebanon . y . i : : SCIO Scio berry and fruit growers who are. members of the local association plan to pool their products again this season and market at Lebanon,' Ed 'Rubesh, secretary-treasurer of - the local unit, , has announced. . This course, which has been fol lowed for several years, was de cided at recent meeting of the association at Scio, when officers and directors were reelected. Ros ter of officers follows: president, Henry Thomas, Jordan; vice , pre sident, K. K. Kirk, Scio; secretary treasurer, Ed Rubesh, Scio. These officers, together with Jess Wells and L G. Faltus, Scio, constitute the board of directors. . ' Deliveries of fruit are to be made at the rear of the Scio lock er, and will be, trucked to Lebanon by the Spencer company, which has purchased and processed the pooled crops for a- number of years. Strawberries will be har vested first,' this ordinarily start ing in late May or early June, depending on the season. The pool comprises a large num ber ' of growers, and about 200 acres of berries usually are har vested. Prices, which have not been fully determined, are expect ed -to remain unchanged for sev eral years, owing to war con ditions and ceilings regulated by the : government. In addition to strawberries and cane berries, which are the prin cipal products in " the small-fruit brackets, cherries and other fruits may be included in the list. Innovation this year in the .local situation is inclusion of various kinds of vegetables, some of which will be canned and others dried. All will be taken to Lebanon for processing, Rubesh stated, adding that at present it looks like $22 per ton for carrots and $21 for beets. Fruit acreage in the Scio area may be somewhat curtailed this year, Rubesh said, largely on ac count of war demands for certain vegetables.
