BALANCE SEEMS ESTABLISHED IN LOGAN INDUSTRY PAGE EIGHT ENTIRE CROP OF L 1 For the first time since 1919 evory loganberry grown in the Wil lamette valley that is tit to pick will be thrown into the production hopper and turned into food for tho multitude. Not only will all of them be canned or put into some other form, but ImtientlonH are that the entire production output will be grabbed by the con suming public without any diffi culty. In other wordH, there is very appearance of a complete cleanup of the loganberry from the field to the shelve. This in face of the fact that dur ing the past few years pcssiinlwn had grown in regard to the logan berry until numerous grower had thrown up the sponge and dug up their yards, and a number of pre dictions were made that the lo ganberry had virtually completely outgrown Us usefulness and It only was a question of time before It would be almost entirely replaced by other crops. People who have watched the lo gun berry situation with an Inter ntcd eyo say that the cut in pro duction has been just about right tnd the situation is a very hope ful one if conditions can remain just about at present. Tho fact that the loganberry Is on the upgrade toward a comeback, does not augur they say, that there should be any roneral loganberry planting or that .iiv Bffnrtfl should be made to In- erenso the acreage on a par with what it was in the old days when the loganberry was considered a gold nugget and a loganberry natch a fortune. On the other hand, it Is pointed out that the situation has arrived where the tcrcagc will probably afford a eomfortable cleanup euch year nt 5 or 6 cent price and any large plantings would jar it off its bal ance and result in some lean years again. Those who watoh the situation ay that If production can fluctu ate on the acreage now planted, and there are no spasmodic at tempts to get outlandish prices for the fruit that loganberry grower can feel pretty well assured or nnu big a market year nfter year at a fair price, and canners can feel pretty well assured of getting rid of tho product. In brief, tho crop condition for the loganberry they say, seems to tie getting somewhere near to the point that has been wisned lor K. An Interesting feature In con nection with the loganberry is the fact that Karl Pearey has been buying and still Is buying nil of the cull logans and cherries that he can securo from canneries or oth erwlse. These arc being disposed of by him for juice purposes, and with mo purcnase or the cuiis, me entire loganberry output In the val ley In being gathered in. Tho loganberry for this sonson Is back to normal production after tho crack given it by tho hot wenthor spell, for a tlmo follow Ing tho hi'iit wave the llttlo logons matured immediately without gain ing size. Hut both size and quality are now hark to normal and beau tiful berries are being received at 11 of the canneries. Most patches will be picked on Sunday because of the expected shutdown on the Fourth. E RANGE IS HIGH Portland, July 2 Not a single tar of cantaloupes was nvallable for the local fruit trade today. One car In yesterday was spotted long enough to take out less than 100 crates and then was .tealrd up aain to he shipped to a 1 1 i k 1 1 r market. In the fa-e of the temporary shortage In this market loeal pro duce firms are holding prices firm At $ri.2f and $5.M for the b-t Btamhi ids. Thin morning there were hardly enough good quality ni'litnn to meet requirements and several houses ran hIhh! of stand ards during the morning. That the situation will be easier during the coming week is (he gen eral belief along the street. f I nod tomatoes are very scarce With best stocks repacked selling reudlly at $.1 a crate.

No change was made In butter prices today and all grades were posted steady on tho local dairy bonrd.

Prices have not reached to I in posed hie levels, but buyers are forcing the buying and are pay ing prices that they would have called absurd during the quiet period of three months ago. This change has taken place be oauHO a considerable part of the trade of the country now realizo that the total supply of small fruits in the United States is llttlo more than sufficient to take care of the volume that can be moved on the fresh market, and there Is a grave question whether canners will be able to get an important volume of any commodity. Tho only fruits In normal sup ply in the Northwest this year are gooseberries, strawberries, pears and apples. Raspberries, logan berries and blackberries arc short because of winter freeze, and cher ries and prunes are very short be cause of defective pollcnlzatlon. Uartlett pears and apples are commodities that largely go out on tho fresh market. The require ments of the conning Industry are a negligible factor. Normally, a large part of tho fresh fruit requirement of the in dividual cities comes from the ter ritory adjacent to those cities. Only the very early Itams and certain specialized fruits like Uartlett pears and apples are shipping from a distance. During the last month, however, tho fresh fruit trade of tho coun try lias awakened to tho fact that dry weather and frosts and ex treme heat have destroyed a large portion of the small fruit crop of the middle west, and north Atlantic slates. The means that tho local Rupply must be supplemented by shipments from a distance. At a time llko this, wo 'have forcefully brought home to us the fact that the fresh fruit marketing machinery of the country has now been perfected to a place where It will pick up the fresh fruits from any section of the country and will distribute them In a volume that would have been Impossible five years as. The raspberry growers of the Puyallup valley are shipping fresh raspberries into Oregon and net ting about 30c a pound as ngainst a prlco of 8c per pound that the canners have been willing to pay. Thirty days ago the canners were making their calculations In a nor mal way. Now there has develop ed a new influence that Is taking their fruit awny from them, with a resistless force that they cannot meet. They saw tills force take away a Inrge percentage of the strawberries that they expected to can and barrel, and tho same force is now reaching to raspberries, lo ganberries nnd will noon affect blackberries, prunes nnd Bartlclt pea i s. To make this situation still more Impossible, we have had our own hot weather. June 24, 25 and 2fi have witnessed a hot east wind, and a devastating heat that ha blast ed many of the Immature berries and injured all of tho red rasp berries, black raspberries and lo ganberries of Oregon. A lesser measure of damage has been done In Washington. Tho end of this situation Is dif ficult to predict. Already we have had short deliveries on strawber choice (190 lbs. down) $7. 0Hj) S9.II0; cull nnd common (190 lbs. down) $4.00ir 7.00; medium to choice (260 lbs. up.) $4.506.00: cull nnd common (120 lbs. up) jj.hu 'ir ;i,uu.

COTTON PRICES BREAK SHARPLY ries, both canned and barreled. If there Is no change In the freak weather and tho fresh market con tlnues Itft present sweeping on rush, cannors generally will make a surry showing Indeed. We summarize conditions on In dividual commodities as follows: Gooseberries Reasonable over pack, coming into Increased de mand because shortage other ber ries. .Strawberries Most barrelers will deliver short. Homo canners de livering their orders in full, but those who booked normal volume of futures compelled to pro rate. Scattered lots of No. 2s fancy avail able at $3 for regular varieties, and $3.25 for Ettersbergs; No 10 wat ers practically unavailable, Black raspberries Oregon crop sold as far as canners feel safe In booking. Crop damage In Michi gan and New York means high prices on few thousand cases that probably are now unsold out of to tal pack. Red raspberries This Item that was neglected in the early buying because of small carryover from lost year coming Into strong de fraction of total requirements. Re mand. Trade has covered only malnder available to be sold will, move quickly when there Is an ap-; preclatlon of present situation. j Loganberries Future of market: depends on weather In Oregon. If heat continues, canners will have difficulty filling present orders.' With normal weather from now on, pack will be sufficient to pretty generally take care of orders now entered, nnd some reasonable vol ume will be available to take care of tho Inquiry now developing. Royal Anne cherries Several canners pro rating. Two or three canners were unusually fortunate in securing supply of raw mater ial. Reasonable volume of fancy royal amies still available at basis of $3.40. Ulack cherries Unobtainable In Oregon. Two canners In Wash ington accepting some, still able to handle few hundred cases. Blackberries General situation has advanced barreled blackberries from 7c to 8c. Feeling now ueveioping tnat No. 10 blnckber rles will be difficult to obtain In volume, even at $6.50. This de velopment Is difficult for many buyers to understand. They must look to fresh fruit market for their explanation. Bartlett pears Announcement of $75 price for No. 1 Hartletts In (-.anrornla started northwestern can ners generally trying to buy upon a market where the growers be lleved they were going to get $90 or higher from fresh fruit ship ment. North west c in can n ers w h o ex pooled to cover nt $50 bid f:i high as jxu, and still have not been able to cover their full require ments. Tho Bartlett pear market is in a position whore questionable if any cornier Justified In book in i; additional futures, except In very small lots. Prunes Oregon crop continues prom iso nnout 50 per cent of nor mal. Inroads of fresh mnrket threat on to take this crop away from both dryet and cannors. Apples Market coming to life be cause or growing belief that fresh market will move crop at high prices. Country-wide shortage iiKeiy to nave more effect on fresh apple mnrket. El Tho Indications are for a trood late onion mnrket this year, as the crops in Jiltana, Ohio and Michi gan have suffered a 60 per cent loss in acreage, with present oros- pects for a low yield on much of the crop remaining. For the ilnw Mtittes combine,! n preliminary es timate showed 1 7,51 0 acres com pared wilh 15,450 Inst year. Plant ing was unusually early and growth favorable until the late friwts In May, which damage,! or destroyed much of the original phinting. Most of the acreage lost was re planted, but these lato sowings were blown out by heavy winds or damaged by tho sun nnd some fields were repl.inied as many Of five times before being finally ahamloncd. From $;i lo $1 n sack will be re ceiver! by Walla Walla onion grow ers this year. The yield Is estimated at 400 cars, which will bring ftom $.100, 000 to $;ir.0.0H0.

"I have been In every cherry pro ducing center of the northwest and have seen the cars going out, and haven't seen anything that can touch the quality of this stuff," was the declaration of Paul Mc ICercher, fruit buyer for Scgobel and Day, as he watched the Lam berts going Into the boxes at the cherry association packing plant In tho Pacific Fruit & Produce com pany's building. "Salem surely Is turning out quality cherries this year," Mc Kercher continued. "I haven't seen anything that can touch them and with Salem tho only center out here that Is now shipping cherries they certainly should get the prices if they will carry through." All of the tfrcsh fruit shippers expect to work right through the rourth of July and Sunday. Fear Is expressed that the cherries will suffer If they are not picked as rant as posslblo and then there Is always the remote possibility of rain, although It seems very re mote right now. Young & Wells reported todav that their list of growers who are now delivering had lumped from 70 to 107 and more being added dally. The cherry situation for Lamberts seems to be at its peak right now.

THE announcements of two years or so ago defined a balloon tire as "A tire of large cross-sectional diameter hav ing a thin,' flexible side wall so it can be run at low enough air pressure to provide a soft air cushion between the car and the road." That was the industry's ideal. That was what the car owner was told he would get. That is what the car owner does get in the U. S. Royal True Low-Pressure Balloon. But he doesn't get it in all tires that carry the word "Balloon" on the side wall. Some tires labeled Balloon wear out too fast when run soft, so they must be run at too high pressure to give ideal cushioning and comfort. The makers of U. S. Royal Balloons have stuck to the original idea and ideal. The U. S. Royal Balloon is built of Latex treated Web Cord. This provides the necessary strength and flex ibility for low air pressure. It also has the U. S. Low-Pressure Tread which distributes the weight evenly over the entire tread surface and eliminates early, un even and unsightly tread wear. It can therefore be run at low enough pres sure for ideal cushioning without injury. Many nice big round tires with the name "balloon" on the side wall can't.

Oregon UONESTEELE MOTOR CO., Salem, Oregon Reports from various sections of the northwest indicate a good fruit crop, with quality tho predominat ing note. Where crops are short the quality is high nnd pretty good prices throughout are being paid or promised. Tho Rogue river pear crop Is to be tho finest in its history, accord Ing to a Medford report. The ton natre will be cut from about 3000 to 1800 cars, but tho duality Js un surpassed. The apple crop will be about 60 per cent or normal wnne peach prospects indicate extra quality. The Hood River apple crop Is estimated at about 60 per cent of the 3,000,000 box normal. It is ex pected the apples wilt run In heavy sizes. The black cherry tonnage only reached four cars this year. The crop In Clarke county, Washington, will be very light with the exception of strawberries, and it Is expected a large acreage of strawberries wilt be planted next spring. Prunes will average about 50 per cent of normal and pears about 70 per cent. The apple crop also threatens to be light. The Wenatcheo, "Washington, dls trlct expects to ship out about 16, 000 cars of apples this year as com pared to 13,500 In 1924 and 18,- 400 in 1923. 9l DMDW00D COACH ,the wonder horst Rubber Company True Low Pressure - . .ill? onliTi TONV We're offering for Friday all previously advertised bargains with replenished Stocks.
