Cranberry Growing Is Specialized Industry The Dellmoor Cranberry company, the largest growers of cranberries in the northwest, are experimenting this year on selling direct to the custom er, cutting out to a certain extent the middleman. Whether it can be worked out or not remains to be seen, but J. S. Dellinger, publisher of the Morning Astorian and owner of Dellmoor, is a firm believer in getting the products of the land to the consumer at as low a price as possible, thereby increasing consumption and hopes to work it out i n this line. Cranberries this year, on account of such a large surplus of other fruit, are selling at the lowest figure in 10 years, the price of a bushel of cranberries delivered from Dellmoor marsh to any place in Oregon and Washington is $4. However, the industry is in fair shape. In fact, at present prices there is a profit left the grower where the pro duction is on a large scale. The Dellmoor cranberry marshes, lecated in the northwest corner of the state, can be designated as one of the show places of Oregon. There are 40 acres planted to the red berries, SO acres of which are now in full bear ing. It takes five years to bring a marsh into full bearing. This year the crop harvested at Dellmoor was over 9000 bushels, about a trainload of berries. The banner acre yielded 750 bushels. Four acres on the project gave a net return of 2634 bushels. This was on a section of the marsh over 12 years old. Growing cranberries cannot be call ed a poor man's game. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture it is the most highly specialized of uny farm product grown. It costs about $1500 per acre by the time you get your first crop. You have every thing to fight that the ordinary fruit raiser has to go up against with a lot of extras thrown in. Owing to the nature of the low-lying ground on which cranberries are produced Jack rrost is the biggest enemy that the cranberry grower has to face. Frost fought by flooding the marshes where it is possible to get water. In fact, a marsh without a plentiful supply of water is a very poor prop osition. Smudging is being resorted to but this work has not been carried far enough at Dellmoor to know whether it will be successful or not, A large amount of capital has been invested in this industry in the north west in the past 15 years. Like other new enterprises owing to lack of ex perience, cost of upkeep and neglect many of the plantings have deterior ated and a great deal of money has been lost. On the other hand, cran berry fields that have been scientifi cally handled, like Dellmoor, have proved to be a fine investment. The marshes at Dellmoor during the sum mer months are a beautiful sight and the public generally is always made welcome. In order to help out this industry, demand Oregon grown cranberries of your grocer. least this is the opinion of Dean T. Goodman of the Heppner Garage. No longer," says Mr. Goodman, "do the women have to ponder over the choice between a new tie and a pair of socks. Nearly every "Dad" of to day runs a car and the selection of a suitable gift is an easy matter. "Motometers, spotlights, flashlights, tire chains, tire covers, windshield swipes, tube repair kits, spare tubes und spare tires are all acceptable and useful and of late years many women have found an easy solution to their annual problem by purchasing 'some thing for the car for Dad.
