MAY COME HERE Not only the Iyons California Glace Km It cumpany, better known here as the Hush concern, but Suss- man fit Wormeer another big San Krancisco operator in Royal Anne cherries are apt to be in the Salem district for Itoyal Amies this year, according to word received by U. A,. Clark, head of the new Salem cherry growers organization from the president of the caiitorma Cherry Growers association. The California!! writes that both the Lyons people and Sufcsmnn & Wor meer have placed requisitions for 100 tons each of Itoyai Amies from Sonoma county but that cher ries from this county are badly in fected with shot hole fungus and may not be suitable for maraschino pu rpo.scs. The local cherry growers asso ciation has not secured from the .'anners a definite deal on their igbt cent price witli a guarantee on an advance for their Royal Annes, but a number of growers have- been signed 110 individually on that proposition .mil indications are that canners will not stick very hard at accepting the price. Tho letter to President Clark from the brad of the California Cherry Growers association l.s teeming with items of interest to local cherry growers and is as follows; "Mr. Geblhar writes that at a ecent meeting in Salem a n infor mal organization of cherry growers -as formed ami that you were leetetl president. Wo sincerely hope that a permanent organiza tion may ultimately result from ihb- beginning. "The interchange of information between California and the north west has been of great value both to California and the north Pacific ast slates. With strong perin- inent organizations on the I'nciiie oast very much greater advantage will accrue. Ah slated In our wire f May IS our entire tonnage of Royal Amies has been disposed of at $8.40 per hundred and we are compelled every day to I urn down request for more. There is. great activity anions; the can- 1 ners over the entire stale and mosi j of the tonnage lias Im cii acquired ! by them at 8 cents. j "The Lyons California Glace I 'riiit company and SiisHinaii and Wormeer have placed remiislt inns for 100 totiH each from Sonoma county. Cherries from I Ills section ire badly affected with shotlmic fungus and may not snltalde lor maraschino purpose. If ihi.. proves to bo true thev will he in t he market In the noi l bwest for their entire requirements. We have done business with both of these firms for the p.iM three years and itir relations have hecu of (he pleasantest. Their financial ml inn is among the highest In San l-'ran- iseo. "U'o itetieve that you should have no difficulty in securing n price for your Royal Anne cher ries for canning purposes cnnal to ours. The crop in California will not exceed ':, p(r cent of normal :ind of this 10 per cent has been a in damaged. Almost tho entire tonnage of shipping cherries ban neen totally destroyed by recent heavy rains. The supply of can ning cherries does not exceed 50 per cent of Die demand." F The first carload of green goose berries for eastern shipment to go out of the valley as an experimen tal test was shipped yesterday through Hunt brothers cannery by local farmers who are planning sending out three or Jour cars. The car was iced at the Capital Ice & Storage company. Tho Pacific Fruit &, Produce company was packing its car of gooseberries todav and expected to nave tno car iced and on its way oy night. The berries go in crates and a fine quality of berry is be mg put up for the shipments. Considerable hope is being held out in connection witn these goose oerry slHpinenls as farmers see in them a possible outlet in future years for a good Bhare of their ton nage as it is reported there is a ood demand in the east and a market to absorb a much larger tonnage than anything seen around hero although these arc facts to bo definitely verified lat er by the reception of tho berries going out. The first car of lettuce from La- bish Meadows also was iced and shipped out today. It is expected Horn six to eight cars of lettuce will go out In this manner, A large number of shipments already have neen maue out these nave oeen in smaller lots going less than ear loan oy express. The lettuce shin ping industry is virtually a new one this year but with 25 acres planted and tho demand big It expected lo be a growing one each yea r. CROP CONDITION' IN CALIFORNIA TOLD IN REPORT WALNUT GROWERS HAVE VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR Reports made to the recent an nual meeting of the Santa Clara a I nut Growers unsocial ion In Santa Clara showed, that the nsso- ition hat) passed through a very successful year.

Sharpe of Los Anucles. an Inspcrior for the Cali fornia Walnut Growers association. le an Interesting talk on walnut ulture, crop conditions and mar- t prices. A crop report covering Califor nia conditions to lis brokers, by red 1J. Neuhofr company, food products distributors of Lns An geles, under date of May 12, says that the company finds the cling pea (ii crop of tho San Joaquin alley will Do approximately the same as last year; Sutter county. which has the largest concentrat- d production of canning cling peaches in the state will produce a ;ood crop, ('this latter section was ut down very badly by frnU last ear.) Prom present indications there will be, the Xeuhoff com pany says, another cling peach rop failure In. southern California this year. Peaches have been drop ping h.'ioiy from the trees and there ire only a few district In south- rti California that are not affeet d. The canned cling peach pack f that section was extremely light ast year and will bo again this year. Hut there will bo ample lings, in the northern and central part of the state and the Neuhoff company will pack this line largely in I he upper San Joaquin valley. The free peach crop prospect Is very good, both In tho northern and southen! sections of the state, but It is doubted, says tho com pany, if there will be a larger quantity canned than last year ns ii number of the northern pack ers have discontinued packing frees ami nro substituting the pack ing of midsummer varieties of clings.

The tour started at 9 o'clock this morning from the First Na tional bank and the farmers par ticipating in the tour were guests of the bank at a luncheon given at the Marlon notei this noon. P. A. Doerfler. the bank's farm adviser headed the tour, the guests included botn farmers and dairy men. IN DRIED FRUIT Says the United States depart ment of commerce, the export shipments of- dried fruits from the United States in 1924 broko all previous records and amounted to over $;t0,OQ0,000 Germany was the best prune customer Canada took most of the California raisins San l-'ranclsco was tho leading export port. The United States dried fruit ex port trade in 1024 not only recov ered from its 192:1 slump but broko all previous records when it nt tained shipment valuations of $.10, tfi-1,000 as compared with $18,444, 000 for the previous year, "Tt ceo ril ing to the foodstuffs division of tho department of commerce. Ex ports in 1922 totaled $27,269,000, Probably tho outstanding causes or tho remarkable increases in our exports of dried fruit during the past year are short European prune crops; lietter prospects for Euro pean stabilization, with Its at tendant heavy German buying, par ticularly of prunes; prevailing low prices in tho principal prune mar kets; and the results of intensive advertising abroad by the Ameri can raisin industry. A compari son based on value shows that out of nearly nl billion dollars worth of foodstuffs exported In 1924, dried fruits, as a class, stood In sixth place and comprised 3 per cent of the total. Out of the total dried fruits exported, prunes com prised 5f per cent, and prunes and raisins together 7S per cent. 1- or many years Germany has been the best market for American prunes and during 1924 exceeded Its best pre-war purchases by some: 40,000,000 pounds. Even ns far back as 1904, Germany took 28 per cent of our total exports, of prunes. In 1913 that country's share of our total prune shipments nbroad rose to 41 per cent. Tho heavy demand from Germany for American prunes I negan during the closing months of 1923 and continued through 1924. A total of nearly 90,000.000 pounds of this fruit, valued at over $4,000,000, was shipped to Ge. -many from the United States dur ing 1924 practically 40 per cent of the total shipped to all coun tries. The United Kingdom, this year out second best customer for dried fruits, was also second in purchase of prunes. Purchase) of this fruit were four times those of the pre war period and double those of 1923. The increased exports to the Netherlands, our third customer, have been attributed, at least in part, to the demand created by the establishment in Rotterdam of packing houses similar to those In Hamburg. i-'rance, normally a heavy consumer of prunes nnd in variably a large importer of Ameri can prunes in years of short crops, was faced in 1924 by one of its periodic shortages and 'bought heavily from the United States. Canada greatly increased pur chases of American prunes, ns did also the Scandinavian countries, Kinland, Belgium, New Zealand, Mexico and Argentina. WEST SALEM AT WORK ON BERRIES The new Pacific Cannery & Pro duce company in West Salem start ed snipping gooseberries today, and the cannery is ready to receive and care for strawberries as thoy come In, it was announced today. 'i no cannery is purely a stock holders proposition and fruit com ing in Is by stockholder's delivery. An interesting thing in con nection with tho opening of the new cannery is me heavy demand for loganberries," stated H. R. Jones, connected with the organi zation. "We are getting more and heavier inquiries for loganberries than on any other class of fruit ind apparently from the situntion a cannery could almost be operat ed ulone this year on the demand for loganberries. 'The old pack of loganberries is pretty well cleared from the shelves regardless of the fact that the big gest pack in the history of the In dustry was put over, and the de mand for canned loganberries seems to be bigger than ever. "One thing noticeable about the inquiry for logans Is that all of the inquiries deal in largo lots nnd there si'cms to be no inquiry what ever for smaller lots tis In the case with other classes of fruit." ALFALFA FIELDS Under the direction of the Vlrst National bank of Salem an alfal fa tour is being staged today, mak ing a 30 mile drive lo five or six leading alfalfa farms, showing the work of production to about 40 farmers who have becomo deeply interested in alfalfa growing and its po.s.iildluies.
