Dr Jardlne promised that one of hu beat men would be put on the Job as Investigator during the coming summer, probably irof. Schualer. Prof. SchuBter ha been conducting: pollenation work on cherries ut Tha Dalles and Kugene with some startling results. While the Eugene and The Dalles Inves tigations took over three year of research work, it is predicted they will result in doubling the produc tion of cherries in those districts through new developments In pol lenation work. According to prascnt plans the work of the college lnvtwilgatur here on the strawberry situation will be under the guidance of the Balem Chamber of Commerce. Pearcy has held conferences with both Manager Wilson of the Cham ber and Oeorge (jrabenhorat, chair man of the agricultural depart ment, as well as with a number of cannery men. The proper de velopment of the Kttersberg is conceded to be a community prob lem Into which the resources of the community should be - thrown for the benefit of tho grower, canner siid c immunity. "The experiment station recog nizes tho value of the canning In dustry to ttie state," said 1'earcy In commenting on the dec In Ion of the college to send one of their boat men ovur here. "With the necessary co-operation locally thi; strawberry Investigation should become of tremendous importance to tho locality. 1 am told that one canneryman checked up on the tonnugo received lut year from Ettersberg acreage contract to that cannery and found that nn average of less thiun a ton per acre was harvested. We should be get ting from two to three tons. One third of tho strawberry pack of Iho United Stntea is canned in Ore gon. The value of increasing the per aero production of this won derful variety la npparent both to the canneries and groweis." No Portland school will enter the state buakethall tournament which 1b to bo held In Sale in on March 12, 13 and 14. according to notification received by Coach (iiiy Katlibun of Willamette uni versity, who has charge of tnc tournament. A communication from the secretary of the state board reads lu part as follows: "No chunges will be made with basketball districts of the etate at this time. The placing ol Port land schools on the accepted list doe not bring them Into the state tournament. The Portland schools have not Joined tho state league. This Is contrary to generul opinion that has been held among basketball circles, the expuctatlou having been that the winner of the Portland city league would be represented at the state meet. Nine districts will send teime to the tourney, the number being the same as lust year. Katlibun has stated that he will have nothlns to do In selecting the teams, simply entering those In the tournament that are select ed by the state board. In accord ance with action taken by the board, squads of 8 men, one more than previously, will be sent to Salem. With the conches a total of nine men will come from each district, Aside roin this, how ever there will be Increase In the Dumber of men at tho meet. The Importnnt Hubbard berry pool has been sold to Hay Mallng of llillshoro, acoerUng to word received here, although price paid are not yet available.

Home have ascri bed Itie laek of demand to heavy raltui in sections of California that or dinarily use Oregon seed and oth ers to a lack of ability of ihc south ern growers to finance a coming crop. In a carefully prepared price chart, H. Ij. Kiner, local represen tative of the bureuu of agricultur al economics, shows that the pret ent slump is not abnormal and ttiat tho price rushed to a peak three weeks earlier than last your. Analysis of price fluctuation In the t'uvernment chart Hhows that values were .lfinile)y established at $1.75 per bushel by January 20th, while competitive buying forced th niarlet to $2 by Keb- nary 1 Since there has been no buying to speak of and the mnr k t h a ea sed ba ck to $1.50 an d $1.60 t)regon ship(d 72 cars from l-'e b r u a i y 3 I to Ke b r ua ry 26, as compared with 160 cars shipped duiimr tho same period last year.

Pot -it o holdings In . the whole country on January 1st this year were 16, 000,400 busheli larger thaji a year ago. The situation ii generally be Irish. The dried fruit market Is steady hut quiet on tho coast with very fi w new feature, and all previous indications continue to prevail, says tho California Fruit News. Northwestern Italian prunes are firm as recently, with a tendency to Increasing firmness In 30s and a trifle easier attitude on 40s nnd 50f, but no material change In the market situation. The future of the California prune holdings U felt to bi extremely good and It Is the view of the prune association that there were around the f i rt of February but about 65.000,000 pounds nt prunes In California un sold. Sone of the eastern mar kets: still have spot supplies there, whk-h are being utilized where available hi preference to drawing from the coast at the advancing prices here. Visitors to the trade in tho cast, however on returning to California, report finding these prune atocks not material and an ticipate tho eastern markets coin ing to the coast before very long. LAST OF PRUNES Packing the last of the exchange prunes Is giin on at tho plant at Crcswell, Karl Pearcy reports, having just passed through that pi line producing section. The Cres well plant is owned and managed by lr. IV Scarborough, one of the largest individual prune grow ers in the state Considerable irrigation was done In tho C tew Ac 11 section prune orch ards last year. This was not done early enough for best results, but those that were attained were of Hufficient Importance to warrant a continuation of the experiments the coming year. The Cot t ago tlrove cannery put up the smalle-tt pack In a number of years. This cannery ia a heavy packer of snap beans, evergreens, logans anj pears. A large Ander- aon and Hurngr-ver retort was In stalled last yenr which cut down the swell claims on beans from a staggering sum to virtually noth ing at nil the Inst year. President and Manager Knowles states that while only about 9000 cases were packed at the cannery last year n much heavier run will be put on litis year.
