Oregon cherries are being shipped to
San Francisco in liquid form. Among
the freight which the steamer Costa
Rica took out last week, were 80 tons OF
cherry Juice, says the Portland Journal.
1t required 204 ordinary vinegar barrels
to hold the shipment. The explanation
is made that portion of the Juice will
probably come back to Portland shortly
in bottles bearing wine or brandy labels.
1t is the first time that cherries have
been sent to the California metropolis
in this form. An estimate is made by
one of the dock men, who is of math-
ematical turn of mind, that the fruit
of 900 trees must have been picked in
order to produce that amount of fluid.
As the average farm does not have more
than five cherry trees on it he has
arrived at the conclusion that the prod
uct came from at least 200 farms.

good enough sbout Hood River, but let
