The quality of tho pak will be materially enhanced this year. One reason 1b the exceptional first qual Ity of the berries, nil canners and barrels joining in the declaration that there never before have been such high quality strawberries as tnoHO coming in irom trie neiu. Another reason why the Oregon Dack this year will bo a super- quality pack is in tho closer atten tion to grading requirements wnien Is cettincr down now to a mathe matical certainty and the packs will go out graded as they never have heen graded before. At I!v:it brothers cannery tho new Allen grader Is In perfect op eration, putting on a grade of ber ries yet unequalled. The grader In operation there ia tho largest grading machine yet perfected and Is the invention Of W. G. Allen, manager of the cannery. Work ing on the principle of agitation, It drops the berries through groov es in eueh a manner which forbids any other sort of grading but ac tually on a scientific basis bringing the berries down to a definite grade. The berries all go through the water pack and present a beau tlful appearance as they drop into the cons. The Star Cannery tho Piysh grad era now being used this to bo sub Btltuted for one of similar con struction, but much larger, which is being built by tho cannery. Tho IMigh grader has been In stalled in a number of canneries throughout tho northwest nnd is manufactured at Push's plant In Salem. This machlno works on a principle of converging belts, the belts beJng constructed of rubber hose, and as they converge the strawberries drop through Into the proper receptacles for tho various grades. The Star cannery in now receiv ing Kltcrsbergs among other ber- rles and they aro of exceptional quality. AH canneries are working nt toji snecd with heavy crews and all ore busy on tho strawberry pack. Indications are that ho far tlx strawberries havo been undamaged bv tho rain, except In a few m lnled cases where the picking has not been kept with tho growth ot tho berries, but theso Instances aro few and far between. LETTUCE DEAL IS OVER; PIE IS The lettuce shipping deal nt T,nkc Tjibl.ih Is over for tho season and only three cars wero shipped out When eight was exported duo to the fact lhat the Pacific Fruit Produce company at Its local of fices took over 6 cnrlonds nf the Labish lettuce nt for Oregon con umpilon into which It moved with rapidity, going at from $1 GO to 2.f0 for the dry pack lettuce. The amount taken by tho local firm was a surprlso all around, Bven to Itself nnd It moved nut wlhout the slightest difficulty Into Immediate consumption due to the wide distribution afforded by the branches nil over tho state. Tho other three cars wero ship ped from Qui na by for outside con lunipthm. Unque.si Innably the speedy dis position of the lettuce crop this season, particularly with the de mand shown even In tho Oregon markets will mean n continued larger lettuce plutitlng in tho La bish sertlou nnd It is probable the acreage next year will bo material ly augmented.

Sir. Lobow states lhat 192-1 witnessed the greatest export movement in point of tonnage in the history of trade. In referring to some interesting prune data. Air. Lebow eaya In part: i The past year was the banner I year In American prune exports to all countries, but especially to I Germany, which exceeded itu best pre-war purchases hy some 40,- OUO.OOO pounds. That country has been for many years one or the best markets for American dried fruits, and the best market for American prunes. Kven os far back nn 1 U04, Germany took 2S per cent of our total exports of; prunes. In l!H:t her share or nor: total prune shipments abroad rose: 41 per cent. The World War Interrupted this trade nnd for Sev ern! years after the war, with the exception of the year t!)21 when German buying gave no mo prom ise or a return to pre-war days, Germany was financially unable to purchase the American product. Shipments ot prunes to Ger many during the first nine, nnd veti ten months of gave no Indication of tho heavy buying whirh was to follow, in November, lt)2S, coincident with tho estab lishment of the German renten- mark, a sharp demand for prunes beeamo nppnrent, not only direct from Germany, but from Germman buyers Id the United tit ales, Am erican exporters were dubious as to tho German ability to pay, and many demanded the opening of a confirmed banking credit In New York. The movement of prunes to Germany, however, proved to tie of a permanent nature through the first quarter of 1 11 2 4 . nnd In April, t U2 4 reached a peak of Ifi. 000,000 pounds. Tho harp drop in .tune lo ;U.00rt pounds was thought hy some to bo the end of the heavy demand, hut Indications of short prune crops In Krancc anil In .lugo-slavla, the principal K.uro- pean producers, and (ho promise of Improved economic conditions Gei ninny caused shipments to pick up during the following months, nnd Itercmber saw the 1(1,000,000 mark reached again. A total of nearly 90.000. 000 oounds of prunes, valued at over $1,000.- 000, was shipped from the United States during the year practically 40 per cent of the total shipped to all countries. So closely did the German purchases approximate the total shipments that a cure plotted to Indii.iio monthly fluct uations throughout the year would show two almost parallel lines rep resenting the German nnd the to tal shipments. In previous years, especially be fore the war, Germany re-exported 1 'ge quantities nf prunes to neigh boring countries. In ltll!4 official German statistics did not show prune re-exports separately. How ever, an apparent discrepancy of over 45,000.000 pounds will be noted In comparing Germany's Imports from tho United Slates with American exports to Germany In that year. This may be partly accounted for by the fact Ihul not all of the pecember shipments reached Germany before t he clone of the year, although the differ ence Is undoubtedly tine chiefly to the large transit trade which Is carried on In the Hamburg free zone nnd which Is not shown In (he Germnn statistics. An Interesting development dur ing the year hns heen the proposed l c reaso in the German duly o n boxed prunes from lf gold marks per loo kilograms (J.lfl rents per loo Kilogram (2.1 cents per pound.)

In defense of this practice German packers made the claim that the packing can be dono at much cheaper rales in Germany than In tho United States. American ex porters, however, contend that tho German consumer has not benefit ed thereby In view of the fact that German packed prunes nro sold nt competitive prices with the Amer ican packed product. In addition they charge that with this repack ing industry has sprung up the practice of indiscriminate blending and mixing of prunes of dirfrenl brands and sources. An i-rease In tho duty on boxed prunes, mak ing tho differential even wider they fear will tend to encourage such practices. Late advice from Germany however, Indicate that tho Hamburg Dried I-'ruit Associa tion Is in favor of a lower duty on boxed prunes nnd that the govern ment has been petitioned to bring the rate down to 8 gold marks per ion kilograms (8 mills per pound.) What the final outcome will be Is still a matter of conjecture. Although tier many was bv far the leading buyer of American prunes in 11)24, it was not the only country showing Increased pur chases. The United Kingdom, our second best customer for dried fruits In that year, was also sec ond only to Germany in her prune purchases, which were four limes her pre-war and double her 1923 takings. The Netherlands, our third cus tomer. Increased her Import con siderably. Although n largo con sumer of p'runos, these heavy im- poris mto the Netherlands have been Attributed, at least in part, to the demand created by tho estnh liMmient of packing houses In Uot termam similar to those In Ham burg. Krance. normally n heavy con sumer of prunes nnd Invariably a large importer of American prunes In short crop years, was faced In l i a 4 by one of her periodic short ages.

AMERICAN LAWS HIT SHIPPERS IN HOLLAND Roltc rdam, Holland American Immigration restrictions are the bugbear of most European trans atlantic shipping companies and to them the Holland-America line at tributes to A great extent tho un favorable aspect of Its financial year. "Although no mitigation of the American immigration laws Is to be expected for a few years to come," the financial report of the company says, "we believe that thu restrictive policy cannot en dure, because the continued de velopment of tho vat territory of the United St at en must ultimately bring about a shortage of labor, and It is plain that In the end Am erican Industries, under the pres sure of high wages, wllV not be In a position to compete with ft reor gnnlttd Kurope,' SLUMPS; PRICE GOES SKYWARD Portland, Ore., June 3. Straw berry prices took nnother epuri this morning in the early garden ers nnd ranchers market. Receipt were hardly half of what they were Tuesday morning and prices were fully 75 cents a crate higher liest new Oregons and Marsimlls went at $2. 4 0 to $2.50 a crate. Gold Dollars sold around J2.25 with n very few a low as $2J0. The mar ket was very firm from tho start and whole truck loads were taken at $2.50 straight. Cool weather and rain haa re tarded the growth of the berries considerably. The harvest Is right at the peak now and another week will find the yield lighter. Karmers are complaining that warm weather and sunshine are needed badly to seep tne oerrlea from rotting on the vine. Fruit arriving this morn ing was green on one eldo al though the quality taken as a whole was excellent, Raspberries are coming In very slowly. A few crates in this morn Ing were held ot $4.50 early, the morket easing off around $4.20 later in the trading. Jjoca! cherrleB are becoming more plentiful at 10 to 15 cents a pound wholesale.

MINERS WILL WORK WELSHCOAL MINES Ruaboft, WalrRde union and Industrial circle of Kngland are watching with Intereat ft, new adventure In coal mining In the case of the Vauxhnll colliery, nt Returns on gooseberries for lo cal shippers are being received by ir. j Pacific Km it Produco com pany on less than carload ship ments showing net returns as high as six cents a pound according to grade. A good share of the ber ries show net returns at the high figure. Final returns are not In yet on the experimental carload which was shipped out by the Pacific company although the carload went to San Francisco to be split between the San Francisco, Oak land and Los Angeles markets and early returns ehow that some of tho gooseberries have been sold in tho.se markets at 10 cents a pound. If the entire carload sells In those markets at the rate of tho first sales it would mean a cleanup of about 6 cents a pound net for the growers on the car but there is no hope it will sell in that manner as as many of the berries going into the car were off quality and very nearly spoiled shipment on the entire lot. However, barring some of the poor quality berries there are Indications tho car will bring some fair returns to growers who had good berries, each grower be inj; allotted his car space and to geL returns on his own berries. The reports from the eastern market on the gooseberries, how ever, wore by no means so satis factory. Seventeen telegrams were sent out from here on the ear to 17 of the largest of the eastern markets including such places as Chicago, Omaha and Des Moines and the 17 replies were all unsat isfactory, every one of them stat ing that there was no active de mand for green gooseberries in their markets and most of them saying that the sale of an entire carload of gooseberries in their respective markets would be Impos sible. Tho California outlet, how ever, seems to be satisfactory for a limned amount ot them, how ever. An Interesting meeting of the Marion and Polk county poultry men will be held In the chamber of commerco building, Salem, on Thursday evening. Prof. H. B. Cosby of the poultry department of the Oregon Agricultural College will delivor the address of the eve ning on flome Interesting poultry subject and it Is expected that the meeting will go on record as fav oring the plan to bring the nation al convention of the Amerioan Poultry Association to Portland next year and will pledge lis moral support to the committees In charge. To get this big convention the State assoclafon is required to pledge $2,000 to cover the cost of holding the convention in the way of convention hall, entertainment. advertising, etc., and thla fund Is provided by voluntary sulwcrlp lions of leading poultrymen and by tho big feed companys who usually con tribute liberally townrd auch expenses. This national convention has never been held on the Pacific Coast but twice In tho history of the association, nt San Francisco during the Pan-American exposi tion and nt Seattle three years ago. It invariably gives the poultry in dustry of the district In which It is held a great Impetus as practic ally all of the poultry magazine edi tors, proressors of poultry hus bandry and leading poultry men of (he whole country are Included among the delegates.

Te Eagles defeated the WOW' by a 6 to 6 score on the Oxford park diamond last evening in a drizzling rain that threatened to halt the struggle at any time. Quite a bit of etnhusiasm was evident, however, and the players finished the game. The losers made three tallies In the first inning nnd It looked like an easy win for the "Woodmen. The victors rallied in tho fourth Inning when Anderson of the Bagles clout ed the apple over the fence for a Iwmeer. The Eagles added to their score In the fifth when Regie knocked -nn outfield fly with the bases drunk. The ball caromed the field and four runs crossed the platter to tie tho Woodmen at five all. Anderson stole home and gave the Eagles tho necessary point to win. The game was full of crabbing on both sides. Ross Walker, Stel la player for the Woodmen hurled the ball across the plate last night but was relieved and his successor allowed tho four tallies. Eglo for the losers twirled a good game but was given poor support in the field. The Field Mice still have the edge over the Oregon Journal nine in the championship series of the junior twilight league. The Field Mice won the first contest bul were unable to make it two straight last night nl though they did avert a loss by tleing the score at 13 all. The teams played two extra Innings to break tho unlucky tie but it was necessary to call the game on account of darkness. Many errors were made by both teams due to the wet ball. The players decided to play the next game Friday evening In hopes that tho weather would lake change for the better. Roberts of the Field Mice was the hero of the game when he hit the ball for a home run with two men-, on the sacks bringing the score to 11-11 tie. The homer was third of the season for Roberts. Caseys Play IJzlcs The Knights of Columbus are to meet the Valley Motor nine on the Oxford grounds this evening In the twilight league, weather permit ting. The enseys are one notch ahead of the motor players but the Valley Motor nine Is not dlmayed and are planning on taking the Coseys Into camp. Proctor will more than likely perform on the mound for the Valley Motor nine. He is the whole show, plnying a good brand of ball and connecting with the apple opportune times. The Eagles and the Oregon Pulp and Paper company nine are to vie for honors tomorrow night In the Sundown league. Both teams have won a game and are about evenly matched so the game ought to be a good one. Tho Eagles have taken wins over several strong nines and are hoping to take the long end of the score In this contest. The Statesman sluggers went down to defeat at the hands of the Caseys Inst night on the Sweetlnnd field by a score of 9 to 8. The game was well played but was cut short oa darkness set In before the full five Innings were played. The Cas eys have a strong nine nnd have been showing several other teame the dust. Huntington Demands Definite Action On Retention As Coach (Continued from page ine) have given $500 toward construc tion of a new athletic field east of the Parrish junior high echool building. They cannot afford to pay any more from their treas ury, they state, hinting that If the board l willing to nesume full financial responsibiliay for construction of the field, the student body can pay part of the coach's salary. Members of thw board this morning reiterated the fit and which they have taken eince the controversy first arose. Enough of the taxpayers money ia already going. Into places not directly con nccted with classroom activities, they state. They point out that the basketball gymnasium, need by the team considerable, was built and is maintained at public expense. The auditorium at high school is likewise used for the profit of the students, they point out, nnd conclude that if any more money Is t be paid out for support of fltudent activities It will hnve to como from tho prof its derived from these activities. It la further stated that the student! have not approached board members to discuss the question, but havo done their "fighting nt long distance." The general attitude of the board indirntcfl that if the student council doea not come to terms there will be no new coach nt the high school. Lest Is Sparks, who nt present has charge of physical training, will probably be made athletic conch, it is said. CHERRY MEN DISCUSS CONTROL OF BROWN ROT Surer steps for brown rot con trol were discussed nt a meeting of organlxed cherry growers of Marlon and Polk county at the chamber of commerce last nlgnt. estimated nbont a 40 per cent crop with brown rot threatening to cut It down even more.
