ESQ Berry
PickerS Wanted

We will need from 500 to $50
berry pickers from the outside from
the 8th of May to the first of June"
said James A. Rose, manager of the
Fruit Growers Association this
afternoon. ITO supply the demand
the Association will advertise in all
the local papers and has also placed
advertising in the Spokesman Re-
view. Never before were the berry
growers so short handed as this
season when they will have the
largest crop ever grown here.
Every possible effort should be
made within the next week to con-
tract for pickers and get them on
the ground ready for work. To
provide suitable accommodations
for them when they do get here
must not be forgotten.
