For Valley
Fruit Forecast
By LiBie L. 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

Fire protection In westside Sa

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.

the production outlook.
"The new processes are expect
ed to come into operation, during
1831 ana will enable us to re-use
uranium that has been irradiated
in the piles," said the statement
presented by Sumner T. Pike, then
commission chairman. This
means we can now look forward
to producing a good deal more
fissionable material per pound of
virgin raw material.
Sen. McMahon (D-Conn). chair
man of the Joint congressional
atomic committee, told the ap
propriations subcommittee that the
administration s budget for the
commission during' the fiscal year
which started July 1 was less, by
more than $100,000,000 than last
year.
McMahon asked the subcommlt
tee to keep in mind, when apprais
ing the new budget, that "this is

explosion, the year of the hydrogen
bomb decision ... the year when
