Newspaper Page TextHOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 1 , 1905. GROWERS PLEASED WITH NEW UNION Special to the Glacii-r. vVliite halmon, Wabk, May 30. As nearly as we can estimate there are in" acres lu strawberries this season. This acreage is dotted throughout the vaney ana ranges in altitude from uw reet to MX) feet above sea levol. me Derries that grow on the "bot oru are fully three weeks earlier man tnoee grown along the foot hills, This gives the White Salmon valley f long strawberry sen ton. the late ber ries bringing aliMiet as much in the open market as the early ones. Which sectiou prcdrces the best berries? That is hard to say. For my uwu tasie i preier tne foot-hills, lor, as in lite, when the severe strni?. gle for existance ends in victory there is always added a finer charater, wuicn 10 oerries is firmness and fla vor, in size and yield tfeere , is not much difference. It speaks well for the foothill berries that after the taste is jaded these berru s are able to re vive tne appetite, mi, . i i ... iuo piiiuis are nearly all two or three years old. This brings them into their prime of rigor and pro ductiveness. They are sturdy and have put forth a large amount of frifit. lhe season has been favorable. So much of the spring has been chilly and cloudy with interspersing showers While that kind of weather is not good for ripening fruit, yet it is splendid for growth, size, firmness and flavor. Or Lenies give promise of from 100 to lf0 crates to the acre accordiug to care and attention bestowed. The berries are unusually large, some be ing three tier berries. We can't justly judge the work of the White Salmon 1'iuit Union until the berry season is over and all the returns are in. For a new organiza tion it has made remarkable progress. Over three-fourths cf all the growers in the valley are members. They are well satisfied so far. They have never snipped berries with loss trouble and and larger profit than they have this season. Our manager meets the snipers on this side; receives, inspects and bills the berries. By a wise distiibutiou of shipment no market has been over stocked and so the price has been good. There has been uo fictitious prices qouted. The first berries brought 7.iu in the open market. It has been the policy of the Union to make a rigid eximanatiou of all berries shipped. None but the best have been sent out as A No. 1, and from the reports received, the White Salmon berry is establishing a name for itself second to none. " J. C. M. MAKES KNOWN WANTS OF THE ODELL SCHOOL Hen to Handle Strawberries. liy order rf ti e board of directors of the Hood Kivor Fruit Grower's Union, Manager Shepurd is mailing to members or the organization the following institution on handling strawberries : Picking. Berries mutt not be picked while there is moisture on the vines. Berrios must be pink all over or three-fourths red. Berries should be picked riper in cool weather than in warm. Pickers must not be allowed to hold several berries in hands at the same time. Filled carrires must not be allowed to : tuml in gun. Berries must be picked with a stem a quarter of an inch long, not longer or shti ter. Parking. No culls in the boxes. Put in noth ing but fair sized berries, none under live tier. After filling box about half full place the rest, stems down, so as to be able to face the top layer in uni form rows of four or five making 1G or 2j berriej cn top especially at corn ers or they will be short weight, set tie, spoil your pack and bring less money. Fill box so that top layer will come three-eights of an inch above top of box. Allow no berries to project over side of box, if juu do the berry will be crushed, the pack spoiled and the box stained. Packers mutt to required to sort out all green, over ripe, mis-shapen and under five tier berries. Use clean crates and keep them from being soiled. After nates are nailed place them in cocl siilc peel ing house. Hauling. Haul in tr-ilnj? wagons, and use wagon co r to keep out dust. Grow ers are rcqrxttid to send iu load as soon as ready. Do not wait until you ars through with your pack for the day. If every body waits until after 0 p. m. as they have iu the past the Shipping Associtaion will not be able to load the days pack as the car ivust le braced and ready at 10 p. m. ( i.r ( rop will retch about 100 cars and we will send out from fire to ten cars a day. These can not be loaded after 6 p. m. or in throe boms, to if you want your berries to go out the same day do not delay in getting them to ; the depot. Ren arks. Our crop is large, other localities haxo large crops also, theiefore it will be necessary to observe these sugges tions if j on expec t to get good re sults. Poopln will not Ity ordinary fruit, or a poor pack and pay a price. Good fruit and a good puck v ill sell, even if there is plenty of the ordinary. All berries will be rigidly graded and inspected but ecry one will be treat ed fair and ju.-l!v without faror or discrimination. Our inspector will not find fault 1 ut endeimr to assist you with good advice. Holme to 31 ullage Cannery. The D.illes Chronicle. Our c innery is to tie openened in n very few w eeks, or us s ion a I lie cher ries are ready fir the can, with I!. I. Holmes, an experienced caiinerynian, as i's iiiiuiiigcr. Mr. Ibilmes has been connected with the Holmes Canning Co , of Portland, fur some year, m.d is jutt the man fur the place. This will be a piece of ood news fur the fruit-growers. a all greatly prefer giving a home industry a boa ft to shipping their fruit abroad. Advertised letter list. May 21 Mai el Dunn, Mis. A. P.

YATES, P. M. To the patrons of Odell school dis trict number five: We noticed some time since in the Glacier, some of the "wants" of Odell. The writer en umerated a few of the wants and now we will premsue to enlarge upon the previous "Datcn. " b irst, we will call attention to our steadily increasing school population our school facilities were taxed to their full capacity during the term just closed, and now of a necessity we muse install the mntb grade, it al ready having been voted upon, and pernapg we teutn will be added before our nexi term begins, lleuce, we must have anotbre room, or take a step backward. Which will you have patrousr Secondly we are in need of good water for the school. It is an unde niable fact that a well at a school house is always very unsatisfactory in providing pure water. Wnen we count the vears to come and reckon the expenoes cleaning out well two and three times during each term of school we are led to the conclusion that piping water from M. D. Udell's spring would be the more feasible plan for the district to take up. we believe if the above proposition s put into execution, that future generations will rise up and call us blessed. Odell district can support five times its present population. There can be no greater inducements held out to prospective settlers than good school facilities. We are anticipating quite a number of visitors to our valley, and it would be to our advantage to tie able to have an addition to our present school bouse under construc tion and to explain to visitors our mode of securing pure water for school purposes. It is the one hope of the writer to see such improvements iu progress, and he is glad to know that there are many more just as anxious for such improvements as he is.

An object lesson road will be con structed on the exposition grounds as a special exhibit, showing in detail the process of road building, from the foundation grade to the finished road. It will demonstrate the application and use of the varions kinds of road material and the operation of the latest improved road making n a chinery.
