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.

Competitive Buying of
Fruits Forcing Prices
To Unexpected Levels
An abnormal market Is running
today that is worse than the boom
duvs of 1020 savs a bulletin uwueu
by Meinrath Corbaley company of
Seattle. 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

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

The yield Is estimated at 400

QUALITY IS HIGH
At least three moro cars of black
cherries will go out today, one
each from tho association, Young
& Wells and Denney & company.
"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.
Predictions were made today
that possibly the 20 car estimate
might be raised by a car or two,

What is a
Balloon Tire?
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.

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.

Your motor is not unlike
the human organism. It must
be kept nourished and clean.
And oils, like foods, are not
to be judged by their price.
Aristo Motor Oil, for
example, is the finest lu
bricant capable of pro
duction. It compares to
advantage with eastern oils
selling at almost twice its
price. Yet this is easy to
understand.
Aristo is not under the
handicap of heavy freight

benefits, too, by volume
production. And it comes
from refineries which are
unrivaled in equipment
