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.

Government crop reports In
California as of July 1, are given
as follows, covering products of
Interest t othe Willamette valley
Apples: The condition of the ap
pie crop was estimated to be 65
per cent of normal on July 1, com
pared with 76 last year and th
10-year Verage of 78. 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

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.

expected to open shortly, It would

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

recently selling two carloads on a
15 cent basis, a fine price. It Is as

made $40,000 in excess of what
it figured It would make on the
season's crop early In the year.
Indications are that barreled
strawberries will all move out at
good prices.
