Madscsi Tarm Editor, The Stateamaa Growers may expect to receive higher price for most fruit varie ties-this year than last, the U. s. department . of agriculture said Thursday. Consumer demand is good this year, the USDA reports some crops of fruit have been reduced because of the severe winter wea ther. Stocks of canned goods held over are smaller than in many years. btrawbemes which brought a cash price of 14 cents a year ago, are -holding at 22 as a cash price this year. Last year however, a number of the1 cooperatives paid out at 18 cents or thereabouts Strawberries, which will last an other two weeks in the hill areas, have been pretty normal in both quality and quantity. A few large yields have been reported. There are growers whose yield will go to four ton or better to the acre age, but early harvest Indications are for an average of between two and two and a half ton per acre. Quite a few of the Silverton Hills growers were reporting Thursday that their crop, would yield very close to, and in some cases a little better, than three ton to 'the acre, however. Cost of pro duction is figured at around 11 cents a pound this season. Straw berry growers are looking quite content s. a whole. Cane berries show a somewhat different picture. Raspberries are being frozen now at Birds Eye Snider at Woodburn. A number of the Salem canneries and pro cessors are not . taking them. Ralph Sebern, manager of the Woodburn plant, stated that the raspberries were by no means above normal in either supply or quality this year. Between the cold weather in January and Feb ruary and the prolonged dry spell in May, the crop could not pro gress properly. Boysen ana ioeanbern.es are both looking better than It was thought possible ' earlier in the season, but the matter of price is still up in the air. The price con trol board set 10 cents for logan berries but the canners are ob jecting to that Consumer demand is not that strong, processors in dicate. Either the board will have to back up a bit or the berries will bo delivered at a somewhat les ser price or they won't be deliver ed, was the opinion of one Sa lem packer Thursday. The board has not yet met to set the boysenberry price. It is re called that last year the boysens brought 8 cents which was the lowest for some seasons. A some what higher price is being talked this year but no decision had been reached Thursday.

Fire Protection In West Salem Given Study Fire protection In westside Sa lem was under inspection Thurs day by H. E. Marqueling, engineer of the Oregon insurance rating bureau of Portland. Ho was giving particular atten tion to water How available, at fire hydrants and other items which have improved the fire- fighting picture as a result of re cent dtr nroiects. A new 12-inch line now carries city water across the Willamette river bridge to the westside and a 100,000 gallon storage tank on the heights has Increased water pressure and flow. Fire Chief W. P. Roble reporti that flow at some hydrants has increased to as high as 1,500 to 1.700 gallons per minute. And In surance rating standard calls - for 500 gallons per minute. At least 10 new fire hydrants have been installed on the west- side since West Salem merged with Salem, and more are due for installation this summer, Roble said. Salem's insurance ratine was studied several months ago by the National Board -' of Fire under writers. Final report is expected this summer. City officials and business leaders are hopeful that recent enlargement of the fire de partment and extension of its fa cilities would serve to reduce the local fire insurance rate. 1 Sprays that hasten the ripening of apples also in some cases cause the fruit to stay on the tree longer.
