Barreling is
Favored Way
For Berries
Archie C.‘ Knauss Makes
Preliminary Report
At C. of C.
Conditions in the marketing of
strawberries favor the barreling
method, reported A. C. Knauss for
the strawberry survey committee
at the chamber of commerce Wed­
nesday. A barreling plant re­
quires but comparatively little
capital, being little more than a
receiving station. However these
plants are chiefly owned by the
larger companies who malket
their own product, the small or
independent dealet- having but
little chance to sell to advantage.
Such a company would demand at
least 150 acres in cultivation be­
fore putting in a plant, and would
consider 300 more desirable. The
average production of berries,
Mr. Knauss said, is one ton to the
acre.
Canned berries, Mr. Knauss
declared, are moving more slow­
ly, and while canning machinery
can be obtained very cheaply,
many of the plants are not mak­
ing money.
Prices this year are not so good
as last, Mr. Knauss stated, as
the prospect is that growers will
get only six cents, out of which
they must pay two cents for pick­
ing and stemming. Berries deliv­
ered to a barreling plant must
be in their prime, hence consider­
able loss if a grower is not in a
position to attend to them im­
mediately.
The Nehalem valley is well
adapted to the growing of ber­
ries either for canneries or bar­
reling plants, Mr. Knauss assert­
ed. Packers, however, are not
particularly interested in develop­
ment here at present, on account
af probable over supply this
year. The market for frozen ber­
ries is being extended, however.
The berries are said to keep two
years without loss of flavor, but
must be used very soon after be­
ing taken out of a refrigerator.
The committee is continuing to
make investigations with regard
to the possibilities of growing and
packing berries here.
Previous to the report of the
committee Mr. Knauss gave an
entertaining and instructive talk
on interesting facts about wood.
He discussed age, conditions of
growth, and uses, and exhibited a
large number of specimens.
Mr. Knauss was invited by
George W. Ford to give the same
address before the Longview
chamber of commerce.
Accompanying Mr. Ford from
Longview were Wesley Vander-
cook, president of the Columbia
River Longview Bridge company,
P. Hetherington and W. R. W.
Nichols.
The proposal to hold group
business meetings at a restaur­
ant luncheon on alternate Wed­
nesdays was announced by Presi­
dent Ford and the matter left to
arrangement by those interested.
