THE 1902 STRAWBERRY CROP.

The net results of the Hood River
strawberry business this season are
good enough to satisfy the most san
guine. Before the crop was gathered
last season it was estimated at 10000
crates and markets were arranged ae.
cordingly. But only $4,000 crates were
shipped, leaving small shortage of the
estimate, and the seasons average crop
was about $2.15 per crate. This seasons
early estimate Of the crop was $4,000
crates, and markets were arranged tor
on this basis, but there were 10000
crates marketed, an amount 20 per cent
above the estimate, yet not withstand
ing this unexpected increase the average
price wac held between $2.05 and 81. TO-
The cannery was not in operation
this season, the price of fresh fruit being
above canning basis which cut out the
market for small and ill-shaped berries
that are usually worked into cheap jams
and fruit pulp. Many Of these poor
berries were put into the crates along
with good berries and their influence
dragged the price Of the whole average
down some 10 or l5 cents per crate, be-
sides having a bad effect on future bust.
ness.
The Davidson Fruit company report
having handled $4,000 crates of berries
which reached the markets in first class
condition and made an average of ~. IA
per crate after paying freight and COM
missions, and 1850 crates that were not
first class on account of having per-
centage OF inferior berries which arrived
in more or less bad order and brought
an average Of $l.40 per crate. This only
demonstrates again that careful sys-
tenn of grading is essential and that the
three big words in the fruit business are
QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY.
The fact that IS refrigerator carloads
of berries and half as many more in
small express shipments were marketed
and not single carloadwas shipped on a
commission basis, gives the strawberry
business in Hood River solid footing,
while coupled with this is the fact that
with the unprecedented crop the mar
kets were all far short of satisfactory
supply. Furthermore these same con-
ditions have prevailed for number of
years.
A few years back the effort was to
grow nothing but early berries, but ex-
plotting Of new markets has created a
large and growing demand for berries
to reach the markets during the latter
days OF June and early July at fancy
prices, as everyone wants berries during
the ten or twelve days preceding the
Fourth of July.
The increasing demand for late berries
and the cheap, desirable lands which
have recently been made available by
the completion OF the extensive irriga-
tion systems in the upper part of the
valley makes the matter particularly
interesting to those wishing to engage
in the business or extend their acreage.
The crop this year Of 10000 crates
was grown on about 45O acres Of land
and yielded an income to Hood River
valley of sl25,OOO, or an average of 1915
per acre. The crates were all made at
home and the only part of the money
sent out Of the valley was comparative
ly small amount for lumber and that
taken away by the pickers.

The Hartman Advertising. Scheme.

Just how the Hartman lines intend to

The fund will pay for advertising lit

sources This will lie taken by the
Hartman immigration department
and distributed III a manner in which
1t will he sure to be read. For instance,
the railroad will send out trained lectu-
rers, who will visit county fairs and
every place farmers and outside resi-
dents congregate.
The agents will then illustrate their
talks with moving pictures Of Oregon
scenes, and when interest is aroused to
the proper pitch circulate the literature
among the people, for which the state
Is now paying.
Some people have offered criticisms
to the effect that the railroad is getting
pay to do what has been done by other
railroads for other states free of charge
The fact of the matter is that neigh
boring state has spent S. for advertis-
ing for immigration for every 81 spent
by this state that is, according to the
statement Of well-known industrial
worker.
At any rate the immigration depart

little time will do the rest.
The committee having in charge the
raising Of the fund has decided to have
the booklets and advertising matter
published in Oregon. The Hartman
lines could get it done "a few dollars
cheaper in Chicago, but the difference
is not enough to give the preference to
outside firms. Evening Telegram.

Eastern agricultural papers are after
some Iowa man who is selling what he
calls Hood River strawberry plants. He
represents that the plants grow in bush
form, make no runners but come true
from seed aud are propagated in that
way, and that the plants he offers have
been grown for five years and trans
planted twice a year to develop better
root growth. He promises to prune the
strawberry bushes bought of him for
five years free Of charge, etc 1t is well
to call down such scalawags, but it does
little good, for no one who takes and
reads respectable agricultural paper
will be taken in by such absurd repre-
sentations. The incident shows how

| A saloon keeper of Denver opened a
| wine room for women. The city pa assed
an ordinance prohibiting such place
for females. The man asked for an in
junction restraining the city from en-
forcing the ordinance. He contended
that he had as much right to sell liquor
to women as to men, and that they have
as much right to drink as men have
He also referred to the fact that female
suffrage prevailed in Colorado, and ar
gued that since women have been given
the right OF suffrage, they stand on the
same footing in all respects as men, and
hence are entitled to ''the pursuit of
happiness" and the same rational en-
joyment' as their brothers. The case
is now in the hands Of the United States
supreme court.
