Sends More Products to Plant
Than Any Other One Locality
in Section.
LEBANON FARM CONTRACTS
FOUR TONS OF BERRIES
Srawberries Are Pouring in
Now; Capacity of Cannery
Is Undaunted.
According to information received
here this morning, Albany is sending
more products to the Corvallis can
nery, through the farmers and fruit
producers of this immediate section,
than anv other one locality.
Shipping of products grown in this
section to the cannery is pursuant to
an agreement entered into some time
ago between the Albany Fruit Grow
ers' association and the Benton Coun
ty I-ruit Growers' association, owners
and operators of the plant. When it
was ascertained that Albany could not
profitably support a cannery at pres
ent and that the Corvallis cannery
could handle a much larger output
than it had heretofore been supplied
with, the Corvallis Fruit Growers' as
sociation got busy and invited the Al
bany producers to co-operate with
them. The matter was taken up by
the local fruit growers' association
and it was decided that each produc
er of this sectoin should co-operate
individually with the Corvallis plant
by sending their left-over products to
thai institution when the demand on
the local market had failed.
However, it is stated that Monroe,
Bcllfountain, Alpine and Philomath
are active competiibrs for the honor
now held by Albany. Lebanon, Dal
las and Amity arc also in the race.
One farm near Lebanon has con
tracted over four tons of gooseberries
to the cannery and the products are
now being delivered. Large ship
ments of these berries are being re
ceived daily from Amity and Dallas.
Hundreds of pounds of strawber
ries arc now pouring into the cannery,
which has been considerably rc-ar-ranged
and with the new' machinery
recently installed it is' capable of .tak
ing care of much more than the aver
age daily run at present.
Products will not be accepted at the
cannery after 12 o'clock Saturdays
and this-rule is for the protection' of
the growers as all of the afternoon is
required to dispose of the mornijig's
offerings. The plant docs not run on
Sundays and the produce brought in
Saturday after noon would lay over
until Monday, becoming spoiled or
would have to be marked of inferior
quality.
