Small Fruit Outlook
Fairly Promising
Fewer acres of Oregon strawber
ries will be harvested this year, than
in 1938 although nationally an acre
age 8 per cent larger than last year
is in prospect, according to the third
recent Agricultural Situation and
Outlook report issued by the Ore
gon State college extension service.
The report deals with small fruits
and nursery crops and follows two
former ones dealing with field crops
and tree fruit outlooks. Any of these
may be obtained from county ex
tension offices.
The 1939 strawberry crop will
probably be marketed under some
what more favorable demand, condi
tions than was the case last year, the
report shows. Average or better
than average yields on the large
United States acreage, however,
combined with the relatively large
carryover of processed berries may
more or less offset the expected im
provement in consumer demand.
Government estimates indicate
12,800 acres of strawberries for
picking in Oregon in 1939 compared
with 13,400 acres last year. The cur
rent acreage is 2000 acres above the
1928-1937 average harvested acre
age. Acreage of small fruits in the
country as a whole has tended to
increase slightly in recent years, but
annual production has been greatly
influenced by weather conditions,
the report continues. With the pres
ent acreage and average yields, pro
duction or small fruits appears am
ple for all uses under current con
ditions of consumer demand. Berries
in processed form are higher priced
than such competing fruits as
peaches, pears and prunes, hence
are more susceptible to change in
workers' incomes.
Red raspberries are next in im
portance to strawberries among the
small fruits in Oregon, followed by
loganberries, youngberries, black
raspberries, blackberries, boysen
berries and gooseberries. Since the
time of the general census in 1929
the acreage of strawberries has tend
ed upward, red raspberries have de
creased, while black raspberries have
increased. Youngberries and boy
senberries together make up about
6 per cent of Oregons" small fruit
acreage. Loganberries, blackberries
and gooseberries have all tended
downward in acreage since 1929.
Among commercial concerns which
have made great contributions to
safer highways in Oregon is the
Oregon Motor Stages company,
which cut its accident total 54 per
cent in 1938 as compared with 1937.
National Safety Council no-accident
medals were presented to 53 of its
drivers for having driven one to
three years without an accident. Bus
drivers as a whole were outstanding
in improving their driving record
last year, according to Secretary of
State Earl Snell.

"Traffic chiseling" is an insidious
art which in many circumstances
produces more disastrous results
than openly reckless driving, in the
opinion of Earl Snell, secretary of
state.
While the chiseler often suffers
from his own actions, nearly as fre
quently does he force other drivers
into difficulties while he himself
goes free.
The traffic chiseler is the person
who seizes the right-of-way when
ever he thinks he can get it, wheth
er it is rightfully his or not; he
passes other cars when he has re
stricted clearance, forcing them to
slow down suddenly or take to the

ditch; he never slows down when
he is on a through street, but cuts
across in front of cars which are
making a legitimate attempt to get
through the stream of traffic. He
himself will bluff his way through
other traffic, park in restricted
zones, drive slowly in spots where
other traffic is moving fast, and
honk through crowded spots where
he should go slowly and wait his
turn. ,
Many persons are guilty of occa
sional chiseling without knowing
that they are putting other drivers
at a disadvantage. Every driver
should take stock of his own driving
habits and see whether he some
times fails to give other drivers the
privileges that are rightfully theirs,
according to Snell.
KOAC Hearing Date

Oregon State College President
George W. Peavy has been notified

portunity to submit evidence in sup
port of its objection to allowing

An appropriation to finance en
larging the station to 5000 watt pow
er was passed by the Oregon legis
lature, and applicaton has been made
to the Federal Communications
commission for a permit for such

Three bicyclists were among the
27 persons killed in February high
way accidents in Oregon, according
to Secretary of State Earl Snell. He
reminded bicyclists that the law re
quires them to ride in the right-
hand lano eacept when turning left
or passing, and to signal their turns
and stops, in the same manner as
automobile drivers.
