PAGE SIX THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON MONDAY, JULY 20, 1925. REFUSE HALF MILLION DOLLAR ORDER FOR LOGANS CALL FOR 75,000 CASES REJECTED I It Is reported that a locnl can nery hue just turned town nn ord er of 75,000 enses of canned logan berries from England representing In the neighborhood of half u mil lion dollars worth of business be cuii.se of the impossibility of secur ing the berries, Tho cunned logan berry situation, with unqucHtiun abiy the largest pack In history put up. presents a new record, with virtually ever loganberry reported old. Logans recently are report ed to have been going utroni.' . 6 V4 cents, but with only a few days more picking left. Park Krln Record While no estimate can bo made a syct of the possible amount of the loganberry pack thiH year, there Is little question It will far ex coed last year, and last year was tho biggest in the loganberry busi ness to that time. In fact the pack around Salem last year almost quailed the total pack for Oregon and Washington of the preceding year. Last year's pack was completely up when canning started this year and It may be safely said that the big pack ol this year Is off the mar ket and the decks nro cleaned for another year's business. Kaspbcrry Shortage Iletim The big come-back o fthe logan berry Is attributed practically In Ha entirety to the sudden develop ment of the British taste for the tart, acid sweetness of the enorm ous logan. One reason this taste has developed to such an extent, It Is said, is the short cron of roan- berries, with the consequent high price. The Brltlshor 1a a notori ously heavy raspberry eater. He likes It. . Tho loganberry Is a son or me raspoerry, the raspberry, ac cording to alt current reports, be Ing the mother of the big, sturdy logan, which stands head and shoulders in size over Its mother, and with unfillal regard socmingly tnroatens to crowd his mother fro the place of eminence she has held in the British taste. At any rate, the lognn has tak en the English market like wild fire. flrowrm Warned At the same time, those familiar with the situation here, declare that thin Is no reason for farmers to run td and start a heavy cam paign of loganberry planting. The fact Is, there aro probably a vast number more lowing hero riirht now than thero would be ony call for In a normal year. It must be romonihcred that this Is a short year for logans and If the present acreage produced anything like a normal crop, there probably would be a glut o them and loganberry growers would again be begging ior consideration. However, with a erowlnir mnr. ket, there seems reason to believe that what acrengo thero Is can bo handled In years to come, but to go uacK and endeavor to repeat tho process of wildcat planting would mean nnntner term of hard hip for loganberry gnvers, It Is declared. Shortage Shown in New Oat Crop Owing to dry weather 111 May and the early Jane heat, the new crop of oats is a poor one, the official forecast being' 250 million bushels under last year's harvest, according to P. V. Ewtng of the Research Division of tho Scars-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. This, however, does not reflect all tho damage done, his survey states. While the carryover of old oats probably will be above the average, it will mako up only a small port of the shortage in the new crop. Primary receipts during the after harvest movement last year were the heaviest on record, but from February to May, they were consistently below normal. In June the movement was practically up to seasonal volume again. The visible supply diminished 40 million bushels from Feb. 14 to the end of May, the largest decrease recorded for this period of the year. Recently, the increase in receipts has resulted in a small gam in the visible supply. Clearances for ex port for the entire crop year will be only about 10 million bushels. The outlook for better oats prices is very good. GIRL RIDING IN CAR SHOT 2 BOYS HELD (Continued from pace one) Ada inn, 23 years, passed the two boys, the boys separating, one go ing to each sltlo of tho rond. Os wald Koenlg, stated that he raised the gun to his shoulder and snap ped the trigger. He declares the unexpected happened when there was a report from tho gun and the bullet hit tho roar of the car. When they hhw what had happened, with out waiting to discover whether nyono had been Injured, they Jumped to the side of tho road and ran awny through the brush. August Keteh, who was driving the car, told a story which coin cided with that of tho boys. He aid he noticed the buys walking along tho roid, noticed that they separated, one on each side of the road nnd let tho car pnss, unil the next ho knew he hoard a report, snd the bullet hit the back of the car. Turning he saw Miss Moore sag down Into the ear. He stopped the nmi'hlne, and the occupants of tho car, fearful for Mls Moore's life, runhed her to the office of Dr. J. H. fiarnsJobHt In Salem. Officers who were nt tho Moore homo this morning stated that the young womnn was up and around, but her right Jaw was badly swol len. Arrangements had been made for bringing her to Salem today to bo operated on and tlu bullet removed by nr. Cnrnsjolwt. The Keenly boys staled Hint they had lived about a week In thel, present homo at the top of the Wheatland 1:111, Their parents al io live thero. T ho boys say they tlvod at Linden, Wash., about two months before coming here nnd two and one-half years at Park City. Mont., before that. Tho Injured girl Is well known In Salem, having lived here most of her life. Her father, Jtwe Moore, was for many years employ ed by the Salem Water company heforo moving to tho ranch at Hopmero where he now resluVs. Kveryone connected with the ease states that no reason In known why the Koenlg boys should have wilfully shot At the car. Tho hoys did not know the occupants of tho car, had never seen or heard of them as far as known and no In centive for a deliberate or wilful shooting Is known, Tho boys olso were examined to day by District Attorney Carson and Deputy District Attorney Vatic. After examination Deputy Dis trict Attorney I'ngo Instructed the sheriff to release the older Koenlg bov and keep Oswald for the time being. Officers generally connect ed with the esse are convinced that tho shooting was accidental but M the same time the result of gross carelessness. Decision had not been reached this morning as to whether the younger boy would be prosecuted or released. The boy also told his story to Jesse Moore, father of the young woman.

A forecast of production based on this condi tion indicates a total production or G.bzo.uoo busncis. Peaches: Peach prospects Im proved slightly during June, Tho present condition of SO per cent of a normal indicates a total produc tion of about 392,000 tons com pared with 820,000 tons produced In 1924. Tho comparative condi tion of the clingstone crop Is bel ter than t tint in freestone peaches. Pears: Pear condition Is now es timated to be 74 per cent of n normal. On this basis the 1 925 production of pears In California will be about 148,000 tons compar ed with 133,000 tons produced In 1924. Prunes: The unusually warm weauier during tne latter half ot June Injured the crop In some of the interior valley prune districts The condition declined 8 points a result and was estimated to be 60 per cent of a normal on July 1, coniparod with 66 last year and tho 10-yoar agerage of 76. There Is an lncreae-1 of about 7 per cent In the bearing acrenge of prunes compared with 1924. Cherries: The total production of cherries this year la estimated to be 11,000 tons compared with 13.- 000 tons produced In 1924 and 17, 000 tons In 1923. Interstate ship ments were only about 70 per cent as heavy ae they were Inst year. Heavy rains during harvest time reduced the prospective orop. Walnuts: Prospects are very favorable and Improved during the month of June. The condition as of July 1 tvii:i 96 per cent of a nor mal compared with 76 last year nnd the 10-year average of 84. Ap proximately 32,000 tons of walnuts will be produced If the present condition Is maintained until har vest time. The expected advance In nrunen has been made by the association, which announced on July 13 a nuvunco on nil remaining stocks o: prunes rrom now through September, all guaranteed by the association n gal list Its decline to the end of September, snvn the California Km It News. The asocial Ion prune stocks nre now down to n few sizes "Sun -sweet" 30s nnd 40s and "Kqnallty" grade 30. 4i and ."tOsand with the exception of nurh stock as It is necessity to leserve for the car ton p.ick, the unsold tonnage b expected to be cleaned up within a very few weeks ot the most. The foreign prune outlook Is mii'h, wlih the light crop in Krance nnd the comparatively small crop In Yugo slavia, that, coupled with the esti mate for less than lost year o: the Psclfic const nnd no old crop to intei fere with new when that comes on tho market, there Is noth Ing but opllmixm regarding the prune situation here at present. 1925 crop prune business mav be expected to open shortly, It would seem. Advices to our government 'lepiii'tments from Kurope on prune crop prospect there will be found in another column. The California Prune association Is making ev ery effort to keep Its carton stocks moving through dis tributing and Into consumptive ehnnnele with regularity and Ik meeting with exceedingly good suc cess In the marketing of this pick And the association tells us that It expect next yenr to sell one-third of Its domestically used prune ton nage In cartons. Tho prune growers of Shasta county havo organized a local unit of their people who are members of the California Prune and Apri cot Growers association and are expressing dissatisfaction with the previous handling of the runes In that section by the state associa tion. In the group is reported to be about 2000 tons of prunes for this season and a recent meeting of the unit instructed H. E. Black of that section, as secretary of the local group, to notify the Califor nia Prune and Apricot Growers association that unless some satis factory adjustment of the Issues raised by the local Shasta county growers Is worked out, the grow ers thero would withhold their prunes from tho association for marketing this yenr. It Is under stood that final action on the mat ter Is deferred until August 1, al though tho state association hiin not so far, tho Shasta county grow ors point out, acknowledged their communications on the subject fol lowing the submission of complaint on June 22. The Shasta county growers com plain particularly of the long delay In tho receipt of money from pre vious crops and tho over-emphasis of the association on prunes of the Santa Clara valley.

CATTLE STRONG Portland, July 20 Ranges are generally In very good to excellent condition in the coast intermoun lain an Unorthern Rocky mountain sections, with feed conditions much belter than a year ago, while dry conditions continue in tho south west according to the monthly slock range report Issued by the United States division of crop and livestock estimates. Cuttle are generally in very good shap el n all the range country ex cept Texas and the southwest. Sheep In all of the rungu coun try except in Arizona, Texas and Now Mexico are In very fine shape In the southwest, sheep are In fair condition and there has been ome loss of lambs. The early lambs of Idaho, Oregon and Washington have been unusually good and ship ments to markets are heavy. In Oregon ranges and farm pas tures are reported to be In excel lent condition for this time of vear. cattle and sheep being in fine shape. Taking 100 as normal, Oregon ranges July 1 were 106 compared with 69 a year ago, and In Idaho no compared with 62 last year at thi time. On the same basis of estimate, cattle In Oregon July 1 were 95 per cent of normal condition, whereat) a year ago this month the condition was 84. Oregon sheep were 98 per cent of normal con dition July 1 compared with 85 last July. The Portland dairy market Is showing a good steady tone, with butterfat ajid butter prices un changed.
