Portland, Juno 21 A shortage of practically all kinds of canned fruits Is certain In tho northwest Itecent rains have helped the crops somewhat, but on tho whole the first estimates are holding good. The shortage is due to three sep arate causes, first, exceptionally cold weather in January; second, April frosts, nnd third, a prolong ed hi'.-k of rainfall. The present position of north western canning crops is given by tho "li-inrath-Corbalcy company as follows: Rhubarb Pack completed with small surplus of No. 10s scattered in few hundred-case lots over the two slates. Gooseberries Apparently the one surplus crop of the year. Not damaged by fmst and matured be fore dry weather had its effect. J-'uture sales light because carry over; packers, bectu.so difficulty securing gooseberries, contracted in January for estimated require ments their trade. Then buying fell off and canii'-rs quit contract ing for gooseberries and all other fruits. Strawberries Knrly strawberries in both stales killed by April frosts. Later strawberries been developing slowly because cool weather and lack of moisture. Slow develoii inent causing fresh market to bid on tho prices, especially for Mar shall. IJarreleis generally will make bad falling down in their deliveries. Sonic delivering as low per cent. Average of two states around 50 per cent. 'I wo or three operators who expected to have a surplus for next winters market will deliver short on straw berries. Clark seedlings will aver age 30 per cent on contracts. The Wlsons will not run any better. Tho Kttei bergs nre the heaviest crop of any, because of their late ness. It is possible there will be sufficient of these to raise, the av erage Oregon delivery on canned strawberries to 50 per cent. Wash ington can tiers hopeful of bettering the Oieg)ii record, but weather con ditions thus far arc similar to Ore gon . Ited raspberries Total Oregon crop probably cut 25 per cent by winter frc.cs. Dry weather has seriously damaged appearance of fields in Piiyalliip valley and has put a good deal of brown Into other districts. There now seems little question but what Puyniliip crop will bo very short. Kven heavy rains could not bring many fields back to normal. Seasonable rains In smaller outside dint rids would help, but could not bring full crop. Black raspberries Condition closely parallel red raspberries, with crop further cut by disease in some districts In Oregon. Itlaekberrieu Continuation of dry weather means repetition of 1020 when uneull ivated blackber ries were so wniall canners could not afford to pay price demanded by pickers. Itarllelt pours Oregon crop seri ously cut by April freeze. Larger portion northwestern canning pears ennio from Yakima district, which lat year shipped 3300 carloads. After freeze this crop was estimat ed at 2700 cars. I'reezo appar ently damaged vitality of trees as heavy drop of Immature fruit dur ing first week in June has reduced estimate to H'.oo ears. Wenatchee crop only slightly cut, probably about same n.s last year 700 cars. These fi cures mea u serious short -ago canning pears In northwest. postalTtrixe weakens Toronto, Out., June 21 Postal wm-kers In n number of towns nnd cities took ndvantagc of the gov ern men t's offer to reinstate all men who returned to work at eight o'clock this morning, according to tho reports received here. Latest reports indicated (hat the strike is succes'jf ul only In T oronto and Windsor. Negotiations by telephone be ecu postal employes' represen. tative here and government offi cials at Ottawa, which were hit ruptcd tvt night by nn electric storm, were to be resumed today Strikers plan to bold n mass meet ing today. Cherry Market Develops Unexpected Strength in Few Days; Buyers Flock In With cherries in this section not over two weeks ago apparently t drug on the market, no offers be ing mado and no indications of ofieis coming up; with black cher ry growers organizing on appear ance of a four-cent otter for Koyal Antics and apparently no offering lor blacks whatever, the field nevertheless has developed prob ably one of the largest array of buyers In the shortest time in the history of tho cherry industry here. Karly in the game tliu Raas In terests had advised local people by letter that they would not make their annual pilgrimage to Salem. Canneries were silent on the subject of buying cherries and the situation was dark indeed. Tho four-cent feeler put out caused cherry growers to hop side ways and declare they would not sell for four cents. Then all of the sudden the market opened with a hang at five cents for Koyal Amies The Oregon Packing company got out its scouts, Hunt brothers fell in line, Claude MeK'inney announc ed that he would buy fur Haas here and put up a sign asking for 500 tons of cherries at highest market prices, winch proved to bo five cents, later cut to four and one-half cents the past day or two. And then came a flood of buy ers for the black cherries. Young & Wells of Spokane arrived on the scene, took floor space from the Oregon Growers in the Salem Fruit Union building, announcing they would handle 20 carloads of black cherries if they could get them, and cleaned up on about three car loads cf Jbngs, about taking Ihft liings out of the market with oth er avenues of outlet. It. It. Hurst also came represent ing iJenney and company seeking a large block of blacks, nnd putting rgc Johnson, well known local fruit buyer, into tho front buying line. Scgobel & Day. another hie: firm of New York, also wrote in that it expects to be hero In the near future. .Mark En-alt of Olympla slipped down Into the valley from Olympla and purchased 50 tons of cherries for his cannery at the Washington capttol and slipped away before anyono knew lie was hero besides tho growers from whom he bought. A Seattle buyer landed on the scene looking for a carload of cherries, blacks, which he couldn't find and was routed on into Eugene. Libby, McNeil & Libby from their plant at The Dalles sent two of their leading fruit buyers looking for 300 tons of ltoyal Amies. They looked around, said they couldn't find them and went away". How ever, George Johnson, buying for Palter, Kelly & McLaughlin and for IJenney & Company, said ho was satisfied the Libby buyers were not looking very hard for the cher lies. "I told them I could get them all the Koyal Annes they wanted, nnd could too, but they did not seem much interested," stated Johnson. Kvory cannery here hns been taking cherries hand over fist, that m, tho ltoyal Anno varieties. Organizers of tho black cherry will have no trouble in disposing of their tonnage at good figures for tho growers. While prices hnvo been lower than for years, the demand has been exceedingly brisk and it is expected over $200,000 will he ll(,r interested in the fruit game BLACK CHERRY GROWERS FAIL TO SPRAY FRUIT turned loose in tho community finally from the total cherry output. FIND OUTLET FOR LOGANS BY DRYING PROCESS An outlet for loganberries by the drying process may help to solve the situation here and re port will be made to a meeting of the growers at the chamber of commerce Monday night by the committee which has been working to endeavor to dispose of the sur plus of unmarketed berries. The name of the firm which Is offering to finance the picking and drying of tho berries has not been divulged, but the plan is to ad vance such money as Is necessary at 7 per cent Interest. Only the surplus ijn the pool over the amount thai can be sold fresh Is to be dried and the dried berries are to be stored In warehouse of the firm, the growers paying storage charges Sale of the berries will remain in the hands of the growers commit tee. Tho Northwest Fruit Products company has agreed to take 14 tons of berries for canning pur poses, five tons daily, five tons to morrow and another five tons Mon day. In tho meantime today the com mittee Is calling on various can neries here to ascertain what pro portion of the surplus each can nery will handle after using up those portions of the product al ready arranged for. Tho whole situation will bo laid before tho growers at the meeting Monday night to ascertain just what their attitude is In the mat ter and determine at that time just the exact tonnago that wants to come in the pool under the con-, ditions found by tho committee. What's New en the Market BY FOUUICST GINN Swiss chard was being offered at some of the local stores this morning for the first time this year It was selling at ten cents for a good sizea buncn. lilack cod, which has been sell ing at two pounds for 35 cents for tho past few days, wna selling pool state they are certain they nt 1 5 cents a pound this morn- A number of leading cherry fritiwers of this district as well setting under way a move to secure from the state department of horticulture before tho next cherry picking season, a quaran tine on black cherries covering Marlon nnd folk etui titles, prohib iting tho exportation of such cher ries from tno county wunout u rigid inspection and permit from tho inspector to pass tho cherries out, nil cherries not having been sprayed for the fruit worm or mag got to be refused permit for ship ment. Some of the large cherry grow ers who conscientiously spray their cherries for the maggot are heavily in favor of this movement nnd they state that their main difficul ty in shipping such cherries from this section is duo to maggots in cherries from unsprayed orchards which tend to rum the chances ol shipment and sale of all black cher ries from this district. Another reason strongly urged for the ciuarantine is the danger ! of Salem and Polk county black cherries being shut off from Call fornia markets entirely unless some such step is taken. It is an open secret that the California board was on the edge last year of do claring a general quarantine against the blacks from hero nnd only some hard, fast work pre vented it. This year the hoof and mouth disease troubles in Call fornia" made them forget qua ran tine talk this year. . Hut cherry growers are fearful that California will take such a step next year un less some move is taken here to protect many of the growers from themselves. Regardless of numerous warn ings issued to spray the black cherries this year, they have not been listened to In some Instances. As a result those handling the cherry pool of blacks have point blank refused entrance into the pool of a number of proferred crops. "Our pool will receive cherries only which wo absolutely know have been sprayed," said ono of the prominent members of that pool today. "There will bo no fooling about it. We intend to send out only the best cherries available and not a solitary chance will be taken on the cherry fly. "We will have no difficulty in selling our cherries at fancy prices. We have received numerous tele grams making offers for our cher ries and we could sell many more than we intend to handle. In fact wo are not looking for cherries to handle. Wo can get plenty. All we want now, nnd nil we will stand for will be quality product." feet for a number of days.

When a car is built by a permanent organi zation such as Oakland; when it is backed by unlimited engineering and financial resources such as General Motors possesses; and when all concerned set out deliberately to build the finest light-six in its field you would just naturally expect that car to be a success. ,The soundness of Oakland's design and construction is admirably reflected in the way this True Blue car performs.
