DEHYDRATION A GREAT
STATE INDUSTRIAL ASSET
and
of
The dehydration of fruits
vegetables has Imcome one
Oregon's most important industries.
Today, through the development of
the process, millions of vegetables
are converted into a highly concentra
ted and sanitary product, which re
auires the addition of water onlv
to restore it to its origmal form and
flavor. Dehydration, as practiced in
Oregon, simply means the removal
of the water or moisture content of
the original fruit or vegetable.
Oregon is really the home of the
modern practice, of dehydration in
the Unitpd Stamps, fnr it m in
this state that the process was first
used on a large commercial scale.
The principal dehydrating company
in this state, and in the Un,ted State's
for that matter, is the King's Food
Products Company, which operates
large plants at The Dalles and at,
oaiem, tne latter being the more
important, because of its proximity
to the great fruit and vegetable
growing areas of the Willamette
Valley.
The dehydration process was
first developed in Oregon about ten
years ago, but the operating comp
any was poorly organized and not
well financed, and was unable to
perfect the process, with the result
that its products found a very
limited market. Later, after a
series of reorganizations, the King's
Food Products comtwinv wns nwan.
ized, when some of the most sub
rtantial business men of the state
took an active interest both as to the
financing and management of the
company.
The company was getting well
started when the United States
entered the great European War.
Its products were being handled by
thousands of jobbers throughout the
it. - i . . .
nie country, and housewives were
being educated to the value of de
hydrated fruits and vegetables over
the old fashioned eannpd nrndu,.

iniougn an .extensive campaign
or advertising, when suddenly the
great King's plants were called on by
the government to supply thousands
oi tons ot dehydrated potatoes, and
hundreds of thousands of cartons of
fruits processed under the King
method.
The result of the government's de
mands was tVinf lia
.. c -uiujjany lost I
considerable ground; it had to again
up its eastern jobbing connect
ions and re-establish its retail trade.
However, the first year following the
war witnessed such a great demand
for King's dehydrated fruits and
vegetables .that the Oregon plants
simply could not kPPn
1- f
the orders. The result was that
new capital was brought into the
Dusmess, and new plans for the en
largement of th'e company's oper
ations are being made.
That th" plans of the company
might ber- hp ear-ied out, it was
determined some time ago to in
crease its capitalization to $10,000..
vw, making it one of the most
heavily capitalized food industries
m the United States. The additional
capital will permit the company to

That much valuable material Is be
ing wasted annually by throwing away
tomato seeds extracted in pulping,
soup, catsup and canulng plants Is in
dicated by Investigations made by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Department Investigators have found
that more than OOP MlMlK'lTwl fnno tt

northern tomato-pulping plants, with
large enough output of swit tn nv ..
shipping, and that they mnv be made

about $80,000 (December. 1919). Cost
of collecting and preparing the seed
Is estimated nt about $35,000, including
all proper charges, and the cost of the
necessary equipment is given nt not
to exceed $30,000.
In addition the snniP nh.nt- i,ii.
would run not more than five months
in the year, could be used for the han
dling of grape seeds and pumpkin
seeds, which would distribute the over
head and cut down tho mc t ,
