The strawberry barreling situa tion In the valley has reached a se rious phase with storage plants, both here and In Portland, reach ing a congested condition, Fur ther handling of the berries has reached an almost day to day stage and fish storage plants at Astoria are now being utilized to handle some of the Salem berries. Be tween 6000 and 7000 barrels of stor age space are said to be available at Astoria. Portland and Salem plants are both near to the Jam med stage and only 50 per cent of Uie crop is harvested. The seriousness of the situation Is apparent when it is shown that last year six weeks were required to harvest the berries, the first ber ries being received in storage at the Capital Ice and Storage company here on May 6, and the bulk of the packing was done and in storage by June 12, while barrels dribbled in in small quantities up to June 21. HKKKIKS FOUR IN This year the first of the berries came in on June 8 and up to last night the local plant was Jammed. The barrclers hud done more in 12 days to jam the situation than they nad done in six weens last year. The berries ripened slowly up to the harvesting point and then came on with a rush. There are. It is esti mated, as many more berries left out to handle as have been handled already in this season's crop. An enormous new acreage, many more plants in the barreling game and a tremendous crop of berries in addition, all have Joined in making the situation a serious one. I A few carloads of berries will move out of here today, some head ed for Astoria where Hunt Bros. will handle a surplus, will leave some room for hew berries to be taKen on. In Portland the Bodle deal was held up temporarily at least when the shipments from La Combe were snut on, out now long mat win last was problematical here. The principal storage capacity is in Salem and Portland, with two plants the Northwest and Terminal ice ana com storage in rortiana, handling the situation there and the Capital Ice and Storage and the Northwest handling berries here. The Northwest handling tneir own oernes ana some over. In Albany there Is a small storage plant and the Astoria plant Is ex pected to come to the rescue for some berries the first time this year. If the conditions continue as they have there should be 12 more days of picking at least, with tlx peak about reached and In a short time deliveries will begin to dwindle down somewhat. Harrv Talbott. who handles the storage end for the Capital Ice and Storoge company, was unable to say just what would be the outcome of uie situation. "It is an act of God," said Tal- bott. "In a short time the logan berries, Royal Amies and black cherries will be coming on in their season, but the strawberries piled up this year because of extraordi nary conditions. T,he plants can handle the situation with seasonal mnriiHons riifht. but this vear the berries have come in a jam and the jam will continue lor awnue. ii our nlant hadn't been functioning: per fectly the situation would have been worse here, but we have been able to crowd our rooms beyond their ac tual capacity because of the per fect functioning of the machinery.' 8 CENT PRICE ON L LEGION ONLY 16 1 pout land rnoni'CE Portland.

Libby, McNeill & Libby, through their buyer. Earl Pcarcy, announced today that it was in the market for Royal Amies at the 8-cent mice and will probably handle them for bar reling as well as canning. Royal Annes are expected to come on the first of next week with loganberries coming right along wit h them. A heavy tonnage of Royal Amies has been contracted for by various canneries since the Starr cannery first announced its 8-cent price a few days ago and heavy buying is expected to con tinue the balance of the week. Cherry growers are now move In terested in the skies, if anything, than In the price, Overcast skies during the day today caused con siderable worry. Canncrymen and growers both are watching for every indication which will show which way the rain is go ing to blow. The general feeling is under the high barometer condi tions reported from the far north that If there are any rains they wll be showery and do little damage. Heavy rains with south winds are not looked for. Rains from now on could do thousands of dollars worth of damage.

The hop market, he also reports as dull with practically no stocks in the east. "Reports I heard in New York were to the effect that a mildew which affected the English yards to a small extent last year was ap pearing in yards on the continent in the new crop this year, both In Belgium and Jugoslavlia. This mil dew, which Is a fungus growth, causes considerable damage and no way nas oeen iouna to combat it. As near as could be learned it had not reappeared in the English yards. It seems to thrive in wet weather. It has never appeared in the yards here. "Stocks of American hons. both in England and on the continent are light." Lachmund had an enjoyable trip home in a private car as guest of an official of the Canadian Nation al railways, riding with him from Winnipeg to Vancouver.

The Falls City Cooperative Canning associa tion is running steadily and while not as many employes are working this year as in the past more fruit Is being handled in a day. The ber ry season is at lis best and some extra fine fruit is coming to the cannery. Some of it is being re tailed at the cannery. One of tho new improvements made for this year is the berry grader which has wooden riddles and is the same style as used In the new Kay- Brown cannery at Woodburn. Seven workers are used on the grader that has a capacity for run ning otic pans per nour. The strawberry grader is a won derful improvement as It elimi nates all guess work and gives a higher per cent of berries in the small cans. It takes 70 berries to fill each can, all soft berries flatten out when t hey st riko t he riddles and go Into the water grade. Mr. Gillette, the manager, deserves all the credit for the building of (his grader and he is planning up on adjusting the riddles to use it for loganberries. DRAGER PLANS TO DRY MORE BLACK CHERRIES The Drawer Fruit company plans to dry some more black cherries this year, particularly if there is any excess over the shipping de mand. Last year It dried a small tonnage of the black cherries. It also Is making some experiments in drying strowberries. Some of these berries were dried last year. The dried tonnage of these will not be heavy. They are used in the east ror extracc purposes. reasonable price. "If I were asked why anv adver tiser should use newspaper adver tising, my reply would be: "It costs least and serves best.' "Newspaper advertising is flex ible. It is a godsend to the manu facturer, or what we in the newspa per Industry term the national ad vertiser. When I say 'flexible' I mean it may be used at will and in keeping with local conditions in every part of the country. "Can you imagine a manufactur er of electric fans advertising his hot weather fan in Boston in De cember? Yet, he may profitably ad vertise electric fans in Florida in December. The same method In reason opplies almost to any kind of merchandise." Ten reasons were listed by Barton in support of his statement that newspapers occupy first place in both the distribution and J-jie of merchandise. These reasons were: Practically no waste circulation; the reader can act instantly by go ing to the dealer and buying; prac tically everyone reads newspapers; newspapers are timely and up to the minute; the potential buyers can be selected 'to conform with places where dealers are ready to sell; charges can be made to con form to conditions of the locality: a waste of advertising mony is not necessary to get a dominant j.ost tlon; intense reader interest; the dealer benefits from a national ad vertising used in conjunction with his own advertisements; advertis ing and distribution may go hand in hand, placing the advertising near the dealer and the dealer near the advertising. Court House Happenings Fred Ellsworth has filed action in circuit court against H. E.
