HIGH PRICES
WARNED AGAINST
CONSUMPTION MAY BE CURTAlip
Davidson in Advising Growers to Set
Reasonable Prices, Points to
Last Season's Apple Deal
II. F. Davidson warns growers
against setting exorbitant prices on
(heir product. The Miming industry,
according to Mr. Davidson, as the re
sult of High Cost of raw material, fruit
and sugar, is facing the necessity of
curtailing the pack the coming season.
"The situation is going to rebound
ultimately," he says, "to the detri
ment of the grower. We can find an
example of growers overestimating;
the value of their product an J the
resultant bad effects in the apple deal
of the past season. Growers last year,
on the openiug of the market, prima
their fruit at a figure that curtailed
consumption. If the values had been
set lower, low enough to have kept ap
ples moving swiftly into actual con
sumption, northwestern apple growers
would be thousands of dollars better
off today. The grower must accept a
reasonable price for his product or kill
the demand. The consumer in the end
determine, how many apples or how
rruch of a fruit product, or any other
product for that matter, is going to be
sold. Where the price goes beyond
a certain figure the consumer will
cease to buv. (1 rowers cannot atTotrd
to produce such a situation as this.
"As n vice-president of A. Kuper &
Co., who operated nine canneries in
Oregon, 1 have had occasion recently
to refer to eorrespondenee from job
bers. Tbese dealers are all read tt to
curtail order. They state that the
price, both of fruits canned in ordinary
syrup and preserved product, is going
to be so high, according to present in
dications, that orders are going to be
relatively small. Indeed, order are
only a half to a third of expectations.
Of course, the high cost of sugar is an
element in the canning deal 1 have
heard the sugar growers being accused
of responsibility for the increased cost
of the product, in fact, the reliner, in
my mind, is doing the .larger part of
the boosting. If sugar planters are
wise, they will -work to prevent the
prohibitive price--, which aie certainly
going to result on a larije carry-over in
sugar. The condition is going to re
suit in a boomerang that will ulti
mately' be hurtful to growing inter
ests." .
Mr. Davidson's warnings are corrob
orated by the Hood Kiver Canning Co..
which specializes on Clark Seedling
ill anhai i lee.
"At a price of 15 and 1(5 cents per
pound for strawberries," says I. R.
Acheson, of the canning OOneern," a
20-ounee ean of our product will cost
the consumer about 1 the coming
year. This will certainly place it in
the luxury class and will be hurtful all
around. "

MULTNOMAH GUARDS
TO RE HERE SUNDAY
The American Legion base ball team
will play the Multnomah Guards at Co
lumbia Park rifxt Sundav. With the
Legion Post backing the local aggre
gation, added interest is given base
Bail thi season. The local men. who
are starting practice it is expected,
will give the visiting men a hard
fought battle Sunday. The Legion
tiase ball team was defeated in the ini

Honi-yman team, s. ore, 10 to If. Qjiis

locals, and Hall can fht.
The first half of Sunday's game was
fasl and even with iioth t.'ms putting
forth all of their ellorts to outdi one
score over the plate, which seemed at
that time was all that was neede I to
win the game. If th little god ol luck
was ne. i Ira I until then, be certainty
Ihrew the Legion down and smiled
upon the vilitOCS, for they began to
scatter hits at all angle'-t over the out
del 1 and started a parade around tbe
liases. The Legion pitcher, a Portland
man contrasted for the g.ime. had
given hII be had and had weakened as
a result of in-uflicient training. While
the Portland team ran in 10 scores, th?
Legion pu hed over a scattered three
runs.
The break was due in no way to the
fault of the pitcher' lupport, for be
was backed by as pretty playing as has
ever In en seen in Hooif Kiver and (he
infield and outheld both look migthy
encouraging for the season. The hit
