STRAWBERRY PACK EXPECTED TO SMASrf RECORDS I EAGLES DEFEAT

JANE COWL'S INTERPRETATION OF

PAGE EIGHT
AND PACK ID BE
"With Oregon strawberries, moot
of them out of Salem, producing
about a third ot the canned pack
in the country on past recordH,
this year indications are that all
records will be smanhed, not only
for production, but for quality of
the Btraw berries anu quality 01 mo
Dack.
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.

The amount taken by tho local
firm was a surprlso all around,

wlhout the slightest difficulty
Into Immediate consumption due

Prune Exports In 1924
Smash All Past Records;
Germany Is Best Buyer
In an Interesting resume of tho
American foreign trade in dried
fruits In 1924 printed in the Cali
fornia Km It News nnd coming
from Samuel Lebow, of the food
stuff division of tho United Slates
Huroau of domestic and foreign
commerce, an outllno of prune ex
ports Is given of interest hero. 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.

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.

types of packing- haw encouraged
and developed in repacking in
dustry hi Hamburg to such an ex
tent lhat the demand from Ger
many during tho past year has
been largely for prunes In sacks.
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

Krance. normally n heavy con

ages. Kronen growers held back
for higher prbjes, being confident
of their ability to dispose of their
small production on tho continent,
with the result that dealers came
Into l he American market with
heavy orders. The demand, how
ever. wa largely for tho smaller
size.
Canada greatly Increased her
purchases of American prunes, ns
did also the Scandinavian countries
and Kitiland. Itelgium, although
not equalling her pre-war takings,

If the entire carload sells In those

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.
