Salem.—C herry grow ers in Marion county who are facing 3-cent prices are contem plating the organiz ation of an additional cannery association. The Mutual Cannin g company, now under the absolute control of one man, is declared to have overreached itself in its efforts to compel the grow ers to submit to three-year contracts. In v:cw of past experiences and the con ditions confronting them this year, the fruit m en are talking seriously of building a new cannery. In L iberty precinct a num ber of grow ers have expressed their willing ness to subscribe $500 tow ard the erection of a cannery. Grow ers in other p a rts of the county are also realizing the necessity of concerted acti< n if they desire to stay in the fruit business. "C herry grow ers and o th e r small fruit men ” said Fruit I n s p e c t o r ^ . C A rm stro n g "will lose enough this year to build a good cannery. 1 shall do everything in my pow er to assist the grow ers to organize an associa tion that will remain a m utual organi zation, and I believe such a cannery can be built for less than $ 10 , 000 ." It will be impossible to erect a can nery this summer, hut it is the plan ;o start in the fall. T h e Liberty growers' plan is to erect a cannery as a packing plant this sum m er, and next spring enlarge it and add the machin ery necessary to take care of all the fruit that m ay be offered. T h e Mutual Canning company is buying cherries at 3 cents a pound T he g row ers refused to sign the three year contracts, but there is little hope of better nrices from the cannery this ye ar or next. In California the can neries are paying from 6 to 8 cents for the cherry crop and it is said the fruit will not compare with the Marion county product. O R E G O N HAS S U R P LU S .
