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

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

turned loose in tho community

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.

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."

Why t
e True Bl
ed Endure
The reasons for the splendid performance
and endurance of the True Blue Oakland
Six are not hard to find.
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. See it.
Ride in it. Drive it. Make it your basis for
comparison in choosing your new car.
