Pickers Needed
From 2,000 to 2,500 pickers are still needed to care for
the loganberry crop around Salem, according to estimates
made by growers and cannerymen this morning.
With only a small portion of the crop ripening as yet,
the growers are already finding themselves short of
pickers, and the crest of the season will fin.: tons of ber
ries rotting on the vines unless volunteers are secured.
The growers generally are offering a cent a pound for
picking with a bonus of a half a cent to those pickers
who stay through Hie entire season. The large size of
the berries and the heavy crop insure good wages to pick
ers it is claimed.
