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'

A crop report covering Califor

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

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. One of tho big
features in connection with the nl
falfa growing drive Is to assist in
the dairying Industry and also to
give to farmers a crop which Is n

Soft-Lite Lenses
For almost as long as the history of Mankind la recorded
pMle have sotmht eyesight comfort by wearing tinted glasses
to tone flown dazzling glares and bring to the eyes that soft,
! mellow light In whleh objects are seen most clearly.
! As early as 1.15 H. C. the Chinese manufacturtd tinted lenses
J "to lesaon the brilliance of light." .
I History also pictures the Roman emperor Nero with an
' "emerald lens'1 through which ho watched the chariot races
i and athletic games of his dny 1900 years ago.
I So the tinted lens should not he mistaken as a new Idea or
a mero fad of presentday invention.
Soft-Lite Is the perfect tinted lens ot modern selenre.
I Its delicate blush tint harmonlies with Nature's
I Whleh gives this lens ''cosmetic" value In addition to Its
I sight-saving quality.
! Truly named the Soft-Lite lens softens sun and artificial
light to a pleasingly mellow tone. In this solentiflcally filtered,
I glare-free light objects aro seen most clearly and In their
natural colors.
There Is no more "dazzle" to confuse the sight or mind.
By relieving sensltlvo eyee of light-strain Soft-I.lte lenses
are a great aid In tmproflng eye henltb and prolonging youthful
Tlslon. - ,
Bye Specialists call Soft-Lite the "safe and sightly lens."
The tint, being no more than an overtone of the natural
color of the face.-Is Inconspicuous.
For constant wear, the use of Soft-Lite lenses can be
determined only by a thorough eye examination.
Aa an "extra" pair, cvery-body can obtain rellof from light
