(Abovo quotations except spring mm us on (thorn husH), Cooperative Cannery to Discontinue Packing of Black Cherries Here Discontinuance of the pack of black cherries entirely as a canned product except In case of necessity to aav the cherries from a total wasteage, waa announced by Bert Fanning, manager of the Oregon Kruit Selling company, In his re port to the Producers Packing Canning company at Its stockhold ers meeting yesterday. The Ore gon Kruit Belling company Is the selling concern fur the producers. Lodt season's pack, he stated, be cause of plnhollng and leaks wax a total loss, It was found on its ar rival In Philadelphia and past ex perience has been such as to make tho handling of the line as a can ned cherry unsatisfactory. He made the assertion In his re port relative to gooseberries that he believe the trade will come back on that article, but whether in sufficient volume to absorb the Increased tonnage In sight is a seri ous question. In his report to tho stockholders Fanning had the following to say: Gooseberries Radlcon chance made In the method of procejwlnc to avoid the very serious swelllnc of post seasons resulted In an un- HatlMfactory pack In both appear ance and quality. Michigan's pro duct was superior and took the market. Much Improvement will have to be made this seuson. We bellevo the trade will come back, but whether in sufficient volume obKorli the Increased tonnatrc In sight Is a serious question. We are at present endeavoring thru a special letter to the trade to re establish their confidence In thin commodity.

Black cherries At the time of our last season's report we were Just making shipment of the bulk of our 1923 pack. When they ar rived In Philadelphia they had plnholed and were leaking, result ing In a total loss. Our past ex perience with this line has been such that we will discontinue en tirely the canning of this variety except In the event that It may become an absolute necessity to save what appears a total wastage. It Is to be hoped that fresh ship ment will offer the grower a sat isfactory solution on this line. Black raspberries At the sug gestion of our English connections with whom we had had very sat isfactory results on other lines, we shipped the bulk of the 1923 pack to them about this time one year ago. Much to the disappointment of all concerned, we found that their consuming trade, while they take large quantities of red rasp berries, absolutely refused to ac cept the blacks on any basis and we were obliged to have them re turned to New York. Hlnce that time we have sold a part of the parcel, but still have about 175 cases unsold, which we are bend ing every effort to clean up. Our lust season's pack was moved with reasonable promptness, returning at lenst 2c above the average mar ket. Pears Kruit was of exceptional ly fine quality and marked our best season with this commodity. We were able to pack 59 per cent in tho fancy and choice grades an compared with 41 per cent the year previous, which fact assist ed us materially In returning to our growers what we believe was the highest price paid for canning peara on the Pnclflc coast last sea son. Prunes Very much to our sur prise the result of our last season's pack was a disappointment In sine or trim as well as color and gen eral quality, resulting In some com plaint from the trade. With the lighter tonnage of last season we forese no such contingency, but ynlderlng the demands of buyer wv ure cmivmceu mm larger anil more uniform size is absolutely es sential and In the average season this means heavier and more thor ough pruning. For obvious rea sons we will not go Into detail in this connection for the present. but as the seaso n a d va n c ph t h is matter will be taken care of dur ing the regular canvas of our field man.. ASSOCIATION IN CALIFORNIA TO REVISE CONTRACT The committee on reorgn nidation of the California Pruno and Apri cot tiro were association, of which O. lloyes of Hull Jnse is the chairman, has suggested to the growers, nnd the suggestion has boen published to them In the as sociation's monthly publication, the Kiinnwect tttamiiinl, two import ant changes in the present contract to be made after the end of the 1025 crop season. Other changes are to be miggested and announc ed later. But at the conclusion of the 1925 crop two Important changes in the contract are now proposed by the committee first. withdrawal clause allowing members to withdraw from the as sociation In any year during a stat ed period, prnimoly a brief time In the early spring months of the year; second, a recommendation that through some form of local unit organization the members of association be riven a more direct voice in the control of the affaire of the organisation. It Is propoied by the committee to accomplsh this latter partially by the direct annual election of directors and to do away with the voting board as It Is at present constituted, aq that each district win nave it own anecif c director The present contract of the Cali fornia Prune and Apricot Growers association after the present sen son's erop provides an opportunity ror an option or the association to continue as before with the crops r l2tt, 1927 nnd 192$. i.riivl.linir the option Is exercised before Ap ril 30. 192$.

In the San ta Clara valley, heaviest cherry shipping district of the state run ning as low as 30 per cent of a crop, while other varieties also look light, according to an Interesting resume of the situation In the vari ous cherry districts may by K. V. Kead, manager of the standardiza tion department of the California Fruit Kxchanee, aa published In the California Fruit News. Tne summary of cherrv cron con dltlons In various sections of that Vite followst Crop conditions on cherries are variable In the important commer cial producing districts. The first fruit usually moves from the Va ra ville, Suisun and Green Valley districts, followed almost simul taneously by shipments from Plac er county and the Sacramento riv er. In the Ruisun district all of the early varieties of cherries In cluding Chapman, Itockport, Belle I d'Orleuns. Advance and Tartarians show about 85 per cent of a normal crop. It Is expected that the major ponton oi tnis nun will pack 11 row and larger. Republicans, as usual, have set very heavv In this district and ore practically 100 per! cent, wnne uings look to bo about o per cent or norma . The size of tho Mings will be exceptionally good and this in a measure will help to make up for the short crop. This district, so far as Kx chajige shipments are concerned, expects to pack very few Blngs smaller than 9 row. Royal An new are very light and onlv a smnll percentage of these will be ship ped east from the Su latin district. Cherry conditions In the Vncn vllle section are very similar to those prevailing in the Suisun dis trict fair to sood. A scattering hail storm on April 20 which hit portions of Placer, K Dorado nnd Maommdntn c.n.t. pes and cold weather the nlsht of me oin. nas reduced yields on nil tree fruit shipped from the high er altitudes, and will cause some blemished fruit from halt and frost marks. Such fruit will be ex eluded from the best packs and brands. The splendid moisture conditions should result in good sizes on all varieties. Knight's Karly Plack will be very light In I'laer county, probably not exceed ing SO per cent of a crop in any district and averaging closer to 30 to 35 per cent. Ilurbank cherries run all the way from 50 to 75 per cent of a normal crop and In some districts as high as 80 to 86 per cont. It is believed, therefore, that ihe erop of Hurbanks will be rea sonably good. Chapmans are some what lighter than tho Hurbanks. running from 60 to 75 per cent of normal. Tartarians are light in the Newcastle district while a full crop is predicted in tho Loom Is uiHtrict and heavy In tho Auburn section. Royal Annes run from 75 to 100 per cent of a crop in the county; Oregons aoout the same; Hings are light, averaging from 50 to 75 per cent of normal crop throughout the district. Lamberts are in about the same general ondition as Uings lnoCar an volume oi tno crop is concerned.
