FIVE TONS TO THE ACRE
i
LOGANBERRIES PROFITABLE IN
THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY.
Net Growers Two Hundred Dollars An
Acre Publicity Needed for This
" Growing Industry.
Harlan David Smith, In the Fruit
Grower and Farmer, a Missouri publi
cation, gives some Interesting Infor
mation regarding loganberry culture
In the three Pacific coast states, where
they are most extensively raised. The
"story" contains much of local Interest,
this section of the Willamette valley
being particularly adapted to logan
berry culture. It la In part as fol
lows: A carload of evaporated loganber
ries left a point in Oregon a few years
ago, sold to Eastern buyers for J12,
148. Some ftultmen Bald this was the
highest price ever received for a car
of fruit from the Pacific coast. That
may or may not be true. The point
that presses is that in addition to
carrying a very valuable cargo of a
much-malfgned .fruit, and carrying it
In such a condensed form that freight
costs were reduced to a minimum, this
car of evaporated loganberries, and
other shipments that preceded it, took
out of the Pacific northwest that epi
demic of loganberry "melancholia
hysteria," or something of the sort,
which came 'near blighting the am
bitions of this admirable little berry.
The evaporation process had proved
that there was something good in the
loganberry after all, something re
markably good, apparently, and grow
ers who had been madly pulling out
their vines and flowing under their
berry fields paused to give the new
method a trial. It was the lesson of
the prune that saved the day for lo
ganberries in the northwest. How this
fruit underwent a similar period of
bad repute and exile a few years be
fore, finally emerging all gloriously
a "plum" vindication and how it
now claims distinction as the most
profitable crop in that region, next to
apples, is a story now pretty well
known.
To the far-seeing farmers the lo
ganberry slump was In the main, a
repetition of the prune experience. So,
when the local markets became glut
ted In 1908 with the new berry, which
had leaped into popularity because it
was easily grown and yielded remark
ably, these experienced fruit men, aid
ed by agricultural college experts, set
about to find new ways and new
forms in which to place this prolific
fruit on the market. They kept their
heads and their berry fields and work
ed and hoped for better times.
But there were many to whom the
fall and rise of the prune taught no
moral. They couldn't see the connec
tion. They mistook faulty marketing
for a faulty product, and out came
the thrifty berry plants by the roots.
Hundreds of acrejs of loganberries, In
the prime of their bearing, were de
stroyed and supplanted by other crops.
Most of the growers. In fact, succumb
- ''p.J the general despondency and
cjuft the new hybrid.
The trouble was, the loganberry
wouldn't stand shipping. It was too
soft a berry to endure much travel.
Canning, up to this time, had not
been successful commercially, because
plain tin, Instead of enameled cans,
had been used. The only outlet, ap
parently, was the sale of the fresh
fruit on the local markets. These,
of course, soon became glutted with
the rapidly Increasing yields.
Two growers living near Salem
W. H. Claypool and E. W. Powers
evaporated their loganberries in prune
driers in 1908. Powers shipped his
product to Aberdeen, South Dakota,
receiving 2214 cents a pound for it.
At that price a loganberry field yield
ing live tons to the acre an average
crop would give a gross return of
nearly $400 an acre; one pound of
evaporated product being the equiva
lent of five to five and one-half pounds
fresh. There were calls for more of
the dried berries. Every sale brought
a repeat order. Growers who had
stood pat durln the waiting period,
Ignoring the luscious, red berries, now
began picking again. Carloads of
evaporated berries soon were being
shipped, and Instead of declining un
der the onslaught, prices Increased.
The loganberry had arrived. This
was the beginning of the loganberry.
Today it goes incognito to all parts of
the United States as a dried fruit, as
a beverage, as a canned fruit, as jams,
jellies, vinegars and wines. It was
even shipped fresh as far as Chicago
Inst year, arriving In good condition,
because it was picked and packed very
carefully. In these forms, several of
which have yet to be perfected and
standardized, the large output of this
berry, Increasing by hundreds of acres
every year, is being handled today.
The Willamette Valley of Oregon
produces probably four-fifths of all
the loganberries grown. The total
acreage devoted to this crop can only
be approximated as several thousand,
one co-operative association in Ore
gon representing 800 acres. During
the 1913 season the demands for evap
orated loganberries from Chicago and
other eastern buyers couldn't be sup
plied. For the first time buyers came
to the co-operative associations and
even to the growers Individually, of
fering unprecedented prices. The
season's product was sold at an aver
age price of 23 cents pound.
Planting began In earnest again.
Eight years ago a five-acre field was
considered a large planting. Now
twenty and twenty-five acre fields are
not regarded as especially large; many
are much larger. Asplnwall Brothers
of Brooks. Oregon, have eighty-five
acres In loganberries. The expense
of evaporation was greatly reduced
by the fact that many farmers were
equipped with prune driers, which
could be used equally as well for ber
rles.
The loganberry offered particularly
attractive characteristics for Juice
manufacture. Tests showed that the
juice content ran as high as 80 per
cent. Pound for pound, that exceeds
the per cent of juice in the grape by
15 to 17 per cent. It is easy to make
the juice and it does not deteriorate
when prepared and bottled properly.
The manufacture of the juice began
on a small scale; a few growers, lndl
vidually, and the co-operative associa
tions giving over small portions of
their berries for trial lots. Last year
was the first season any considerable
amount was made. The Salem Fruit
union, a farmers' co-operative assocla-
tlon, made 2,500 gallons, and it sold
quickly. The manager said double
that amount could have been disposed
of easily. This first batch advertised
itself In many parts of the country as
a result of which the Salem associa
tion has received business queries ever
since.
The Salem association, which rep
resents 800 acres of loganberries in
the North Willamette valley, In add!
tlon to a large acreage of prunes, ap
ples and other small fruits, handled
about 370,000 worth of loganberries
last year. This was exclusive of the
2,500 gallons of juice. Approximately
825 tons, fresh, were evaporated, and
nearly sixteen cars of the fresh fruit,
at 75 cents a twenty-pound crate, were
sold. The evaporated product sold
slowly after war was declared, many
agreements being disregarded on that
account, but in January It began mov
ing lister at 20 cents a pound, the
price held out for during the fall.
J. J. McDonald of Salem sold all
his evaporated product three years
ago, for 25 and 26 cents a pound
Up to last season he had never sold
for less than 22 cents. Besides hlB
own he has dried for a number of
loganberry farmers In his vicinity for
five or six years. He said:
"I have always dried my berries re
gardless of what the price fresh has
been. If they are dried, I do not have
to put them on the market at any cer
tain time to save them. They will
keep. Ifl anything happens at the
cannery and it becomes overstocked
for a day or more, the fresh berries
have to be dumped out, as they mold
very soon In crates. I have not lost
one crate of berries since I began
drying.
"It pays to dry, even at 20 cents a
pound. Nothing will pay as well on
the same amount of ground. Five
tons to the acre will give one ton
dried. At 20 cents a pound, that
makes $400 a ton, or $400 an acre.
Figuring one-half for expenses, that
leaves a net profit of $200 an acre.
Then there Is some proft In the sale of
tips or young plants, which bring $10
to $20 a thousand. In 1912 I sold
24,000 or 25,000 plants, and In 1913
about 40,000, some going to Washing
ton, up on the Sound, and some to Los
Angeles. And that Isn't a sprinkling
to the number that have been sold
from other places.
"The manufacture -of the juice will
help greatly to keep up the loganberry
industry. In the near future this will
be used extensively and will be far
ahead of grape juice. The only thing
is to get it Introduced."
POSTMASTERS TO ORGANIZE.
I'ncle Sam's' Mall Handlers Will Con

The postmasters of Oregon will
gather In Portland, June 9, 10 and 11
during the Rose carnival to form an
association. Postmaster Flske receiv

a business session will be held, after
which auto rides about the city and
on the Pacific highway will be provid

will be served at the Hotel Portland
and the principal speakers will be
Senators Chamberlain and Lane. The
program of the convention is so ar

Bar Is Causing Trouble.
The Willamette river is again re
ceding and Is expected to drop back to
a very low stage soon. The river
boats are experiencing much difficulty
In crossing Eola bar and a movement
may soon be taken to secure an ap
propriation for installing either a wing
dam or locks. The larger part of the
winter navigation Is easy, but dur
ing the summer and fall it is
spread over too much territory to al
low navigation. Thousands of dollars
are spent annually at this point and
according to several good authorities
If the money spent for snagging was
used in building either a wing dam or
locks the result would be much more
desirable.
Beer Oozes From Suitcase.
Charles E. Ford of Sheridan went
to Corvallis to witness the cadets drill,
taking with him in a suitcase a quan
tity of bottled beer from Indepen
dence. Charles set the suitcase down
upon the sidewalk and some fellow
bumped Into It. breaking a bottle. The
brown beverage oosed from the recep
tacle, and a cop nabbed the visitor
and haled him before a magistrate,
who assessed him $10 and costs for
having a prohibited article in his
possession.

SOME TELLING FLY DOPE
ELEVEN FLIES PER MINUTE REC
ORD OF HODGE'S BAIT.
State University Experiment Shows
Effectiveness of Homemade
Preparation.
A bait that In twenty minutes
caught 220 files demonstrated Its su
periority over four other kinds of bait
in an experiment conducted by the
University of Oregon extension divis
ion for the benefit of the many com
munities in Oregon that are conduct
ing fly fighting campaigns this spring.
The bait that won can be made In a
few minutes on any farm or In any
household at an expense of two or
three cents. The formula for it Is as
follows:
Make a bran mash mixed very wet
with waste potato water and skimmed
milk, and sweetened with molasses or
brown sugar. Put in plenty of active
yeast so that the mash will ferment
furiously.
This mash put Into a properly con
structed wire fly trap so that the flies
cannot get at it from the outside will
attract the pests from almost any
other food In the neighborhood.
In the experiment the following five
baits were put into competition:
1. Ordinary table syrup.
2. Decayed banana.
3. Canned Balmon that had been
exposed to the sun until tainted.
4. Tainted crab.
5. The mash described above.
Each of these five preparations was
put Into a trap and the traps were set
outside at a fly rendezvous near a
slaughter house. At the end of 20
minutes the catches were as follows:
Bait No. 1 Four flies.
Bait No. 2 Ten flies.
Bait No. 3 Twelve flies.
Bait No. 6 Thirty-nine flies.
Bait No. 6 Two hundred and twen
ty files.
'I think a properly constructed
trap baited with the fermenting mash
will catch every hungry fly within a
block if the day is warm and sunny
and the files can get into the trap
readily," said Dr. C. F. Hodge, pro
fessor of social biology at the Uni
versity of Oregon. "Honey mixed with
this bait adds to the cost and prob
ably does not make It any better.
There are baits that will draw flleB
even better than this mash but they
are ioo offensive to describe and too
dangerous to use. The discharges
from open sores of animals are one
type. The character of the foods that
flies delight in show how great a men
ace to mankind the fly really is."
Files love a variety. In a brewery
a trap should be baited with milk; in
dairy with beer. The fermenting
mash probably attracted so large
number In competition with the taint
ed crab because the experiment was
tried near a slaughter house where
the files had been glutted with animal
food.
