The concern lat year made an ex perimental pack of a car of barreled apricots and will double the amount this year, as the first shipments proved satisfactory. The apricots are barreled in brine in the same manner as cherries and are process ed by the receiving firm. They go mainly into glace fruit, although they are u&ed for fruit cakes and other purposes. Last year some fresh prunes were also put in brine by the same firm, but whether or not this will be repeated this year is not known. W. G. Allen, head of the fruit company, has samples of apricots which were brined and later con verted into glace fruits, the sam ples showing results from both green and ripe apricots with the verdict all being in favor of the ripe article. He stated there is a general conception that fruit loses its flavor in being put through the sulphur brining process, but he says the experiments shuw that fruit gets Its flavor back after the sulphur is removed and that for glace pack especially, the ripe fruit has proved to be much preferable. The Allen Fruit company is also working on its fruit concentrates which it has been developing lor some years, and is putting up good sized packs of these concentrates, especially in loganberries and cher ries and will also put up a consid erable quantity of prune juice in this form. The concern plans to can a large prune pack, including about 1000 tons of prunes from VV. G. Allen's own orchard and additional tonnage which it has contracted.

Analysis Made of New AAA Bill with Ever-Normal Granary Washington, July 21 (P) How would the Jones bill try to establish fair prices and incomes for farmers and a stable food supply for consumers? By regulating the flow of farm products to maket under a quota system. Each farm would be given an acreage and marketing at lotment of such major products as wheat, corn, rice, cotton and to bacco. What would be done with surplus crops the portion not needed for domestic competition and export? They would be stored in granaries for release in years of crop fai lures, thus keeping the supply "ever normal." Sponsors say such stor age would tend to stabilize prices for the benefit of both producer and consumer. Would farmers be required to comply with acreage and marketing quotas? No, but those who did not com ply would be denied cash benefit PLAN CAULIFLOWER CONTROL IN OREGON Washington, July 21 (A) A mar kPting agreement to regulate ship ments of cauliflower grown in Ore gon, the agricultural adjustment ad ministration said yesterday, will be placed in effect July 23. Hie agreement and an order mak ing It effective will regulate ship ments of cauliflower by grades and sizes and pro-rate shipments to out side markets during the growing season. The program will be administered by a control committee made up of four members representing coopera tive handlers, five members repre senting independent handlers, three members representing northern dis trict growers, and one member rep resenting growers in the southern district. The agreement also will enable the industry to use surplus removal op orations of the federal government as an outlet for surplus production. Cherry Growers Lose By Delaying Sales Aurora Clackamas county cherry growers lost some $1,200 this year by not marketing their crop promptly, according to Carlos Johnson of Johnson Feed and Produce com pany. This firm bought around 20 tons of fruit and turned down at least 10 tons which were over-ripe and wormy. "Too many growers decided to market their fruit after it was out of condition," Johnson said. "Some of them thought that by waiting until the cherries were riper they could get more weighi on the fruit, The fruit became heavier all right, but part of the weight was worms,' the produce man said. He asked that cherry growers be more alert next year to pick the fruit while it was in good condi Uon and not too ripe. Rev. Charles Weston Of Salem Honored Turner.

Cherry Yield Good Monmouth An unusually large crop of cherries has been harvested in the Powell orchards located northwest of Monmouth. Fifty or more pickers were given employ ment with an aggregate payroll of S1500. M06t of the pickers were from the vicinity of Monmouth and Inde pendence and averaged $3 to $6 a day. The orchard yielded 25 tons of cherries of a good quality. The crop was marketed through a co operative. A large truck rame each evening for the days picking. payments under the existing soil conservation act and other pay ments that might be authorized. How would surplus products find their way into the granary? The secretary of agriculture could require farmers receiving cash bene fits to store up to 20 per cent of their crop. Loans would be allow ed on the stored portion. How would stored surpluses be released In poor crop years? By calling in the loans. It is presumed that most farmers would place on the market such stored products to obtain funds to retire loans. Suppose surpluses filled granary needs; what steps would be taken to bring production in line with consumption? Processing taxes would be levied on the major crops. Funds raised by these taxes would be used to increase benefit payments to far mers complying with acreage and marketing quotas. In what other ways is the bill de signed to help farmers? It authorizes the secretary to help farmers obtain lower freight rates on their products. It also authorizes expenditure of $10,000,000 a year for developing new uses for farm products. MRS.

(Ar&oclated Press Photo.j LEAD CANADA IN SHIPMENTS Ch icago, July 2 1 W Canada's long occupied position as major ex porter of wheat, grain traders said today,' may be assumed by the United States this year. In the Chicago grain marts pri vate experts figured the United States would get an exportable sur plus of about 140,000,000 bushels out of Its biggest wheat crop In six years. This would compare with appro ximately 100,000,000 bushels, count ing he available carryover, which they estimated as Canada's ex portable surplus. The traders' views were based on reports of prolonged drought and spread of rust in Canadian wheat fields as well as the prospect of a bumper domestic crop. Probable Canadian production was estimated recently by private sources at 125,000.000 to 175,000,000 bushels. Rains last week over Al berta. Saskatchewan and Manitoba. the major gain producing provinces, were believed to have raised the es timate to near the latter figure. The long time average Canadian production Is In excess of 300,000,000. Last year drought was blamed for a decline to 212.000,000. The United States Imported much of Canada's surplus crop In the drought years of 1935 and 1936. OBITUARY MRS. W. C. DePEW Lebanon Funeral eervlces for Mr. W. C.
