Absence of Carryover and
Exhausted Retail Stocks
Insure Profitable Season
Every Indication points
least a decent year for the fruit
men In this section, according to
a summary of the situation as
gathered from various sources.
From every outlook the market
will be entliely cleaned up as far
as fruit is concerned when new
crops begin to come in next year,
there will be no carryovers, and
shelves will be empty. Added t
this the prospect of a fairly pros
peroua year throughout the coun
try makes the average fruit farm
er rather optimistic over the out
look.
Prune men are confidently pre
dicting a cleanup of the 1924 crop
by the first of March, both in dried
and canned products. it seems
apparent that the same sort of
situation will exist as far as lo
ganberries are concerned. The
freeze watch put the loganberries
back evidently onto a par with the
crop of la ,st year Is generally taken
as helpful to the business rath'
than injurious. With no niyn of
a carryover it would seem from
Lho present viewpoint that the
canners will tuku virtually every
loganberry there Is In the crop,
The big cleanup of dried loganx
made by the Oregon i rowers of
the 1923 crop, and with virtually
no lot; a ns dried whatever out ol
the 1924 crop, will leave tnat field
practically cleaned up, although
some dried logaiui of the 1922 crop
are still seeking a inarKet. Home
fruit men are advising against do
ing any drying of loganberries In
1925, as the big buy of the 190,
009 poundi held by the Oregon
(I rowers auNoclatlon does not
eliminate the logans from the mar
ket. It merely takes them out of
the northwest. They figure that
some of these logans will fctill be
looking around fur a place to go
nto actual consumption for some
time lo come. Itut absence of
dried logans from the 1924 crop,
they say, should rwve a reaction
favorable to the canned product
and tlw belief ia if the situation
don't run wild and efforts made to
get holdup prices, that everyone
.houlu enjoy some sort of a pro
fit from the 1925 crop. At the pres
unt time It is estimated that th'jre
only a few cars of canned lo
gans left of the 1924 crop in the
northwest and that the.se 10 or 12
cars will go out before February
15, as there are constant inquir
ies for them.
Canned apples are reported to
he about cleaned up an.l there are
four or flvi cars of canned goose
berries left to be disposed of,
Theae gooseberries nre said to he
in fine condition, but buyers have
been shying away from canned lo
gans tteciiUHe of the trouble had
two years ago when the spray used
worKcti
and no end of trouble ensued.
In barreled and frozen fruits
there are practically no straw
berries either barreled or in the
can, and Inquiries come In every
day. On the sound there are said
lo be a few lots of odds and ends
in raspberries. In oeois It is con
sidered doubtful If all the can
nent' stocks were put together,
that more than three cars would
be scraped up. In canned black
berries there also are only a few
lots left and these are being held
t firm prices
There were quite a few Royal
Annes at the end of the season
hut the.ie have beei gradually cut
down until there Is not an exces
sive supply for this time of the
year.
In canned vegetables, especially
beans, carrots and beets, the sit'
uatlon is suh that they cannot be
bought in Western Oregon. There
are two or three odd low of logan
juice. In canned rhubarb only two
or three small lots are left.
The canned prune situation
shows a few cars on the lift of
24 In fancy and choice but all the
gallons, whether water or grade,
chmce or fancy, are all cleaned up.
It is expected that the dried
prune market will be left In good
shape when the final sale are
made of the 1924 crop. More ad
vances are expected between now
and then and as a result there
will be a chance for a good open
ing price.
The Kood opening price Is real
ly the beneficial price for the grow
er, fruit men point out, a it Is
very seldom that hih market
prices mean much to the grower.
The market generally is bulled
when the product have passed
from the growers hands, whether
in prunes, grain or any other com
modity.

Kmall profits for 1923 had produced the exoected result In redneerl

1924. the United Htates government estimates placed the wheat crop
at t;9:i,000.000 bushels, a. against the 786,000,000-bushel crop of the

Dallas, Or., Jan. 1. Kails City

Hshed over the route of the pr-is
ent Falls City- Valsetz road an I
it commercial club voted unani
mously Tuesday night to ask thj
I'olk county court to take Imme
diate action toward Improving I In
road as far as the Lincoln county
line.
A commltte of Falls OHy busl-
ncHd men was appointed to work
upon the project and an effort will
be made to lay it before the Cort
land chamber of commerce, the Sa
lem commercial club and the Dal
las commercial club to secure their
support.
The proposed road, via Dal'.iH
and Kails City would shorten Iiv
distance from Portland to Now
port by 45 miles over the present
route by way of Corvallfs. It would
shorten the distance rrotn Dai ins
to Newport 25 miles from (he prw
cut Kings Valley route.
Lincoln county people are work
ing to complete a macadamize,)
road to the I'olk county line uid
have made frequent attempts to
secure rolk county eo-nperatmn in
improving the Kails City-I.ineol'i

It is doubtful If the present

It Is hope which maintains most
of mankind.
During the year 1924 the city
of Salem laid pavement costing i
total of JMho.C70.Z3. Of tlii
amount $140,5u4JlU was expend
ed for six-inch cement concrete
pavement and $4j,lt5.63 for
three-Inch asp h a 1 tic cement con
struction.
The cement concrete pavemeiit
aggregated 5i.2ff4.73 square yarda
and the asphaltic cement 39,503.40
square yards. The cost shown
above includes curb construction
The cost of the cement concrete
pavement averaged $2.16 a square
yard and the atphaltic cement
yit U cents.
A total of $15,650.76 was ex
pended on sewers, and a total ol
162,484 square feet of cement coa
crete sidewalks was laid.
Pavement was laid on the fol

Hop men have finally completed
the list of hops left In the hands
of growers nnd the list shows that
there nre only about 8000 bales of
the Oregon crop so held. The
market is quiet, but firm.
Ibc situation shows that If there
in any spring demand for hojs of
consequence there Is apt to be an
advance because of the compara
tively small balance of the crop
still held by growers.
This seems true regardless of
the fact that Saeramentos are re
ported to be selling around at 8
and 10 cents. Quality Is poor.
however. In the Saeramentos and
there are many of them nnd con- !
sequentiy tne situation there proo
ably will not affect a possible ad
vanco here If there is any material
spring demand.
Clifford Krown and James It.
Linn recently purchased between
them about 420 bales from Seavey
at 13 cents, which virtually celan

his Cedar hill crop of about ZOO
