California Growers Save Much Money
by Proper Treatment.

by Proper Treatment.
Salem-That the California growers
of small fruits have been saved ST.
900, 900 a year for several years past
by the adoption of up-to-date methods
of pre- cooling fruit for shipment to
Eastern markets, is the statement of
G. H. Powell, who, with Arnold v.
Stubenrauch, was the guest of the
Salem Fruit Union and board of trade.
The men are special representatives Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture and for several years past have
been engaged in preceding and ship
ping experiments. largely in Califor-
mia.
Mr.. Powell states that in California
rs per cent of the growers are organ
ized into associations. One hundred
local associations, representing ap
proximately 5000 growers, are afiil =
ated with large central organization,
known as the California Fruit Grow
ers' association, which handles all the
fruit of the members from the time il
leaves the tree until it reaches the
markets. Mr.. Powell stated that the
soil and climatic conditions Of this Sec
tion of Oregon produce remarkably
solid fruit that possesses great merit
for long distance shipping. He ex-
plains that the difficulty in shipping
arises from two causes; first, the i'm
proper handling and preparation for
shipment and including bruised and
damaged fruit and second, the slow
cooling of fruit in transit. Fruit
placed warm in the cars continues to
ripen for several days, when it be-
comes chilled, but not until it has be-
come ripened too much to stand trans
portation and handling. Preceding
of fruit chills it at once and keeps it
in the same condition until unloaded,
as when picked.

State kpportions Water

Richland-The principal topic Of

casioned by the state water commits
sion stepping in and apport oning the

Young ditch. II has been the habit Of
late years for some of the farmers

losing their crops for want Of water.

Dufur Harvest Begins.

Dufur. Harvest Is now in full blast
here and the yield both in quality and
quantity is much better than was ex
pected. Until week or so ago there
had been no rain here since the middle
of February. The yield Of both wheat
and barley will be better than an aver
age crop. The good yield is attributed
to the fact that there have been no hot
winds to dry the ground and the
weather has been remarkably cool and
pleasant all spring and summer.

FINE WHEAT ON DRY LANDS.
Ontario Farmers Get Excellent Re-
suits From Experiments.

Ontario-Wheat on the dry farms
near Ontario is in excellent condition
this year and is expected to make a
record crop. While Mslheur county
farmers do not give much attention to
wheatgrowing as a general crop, nearly
every farmer has a small field, and the
past few years dry farming has come
more and more into favor on the
benches, where wheat is one of the
good crops.
This year the wheat is full, healthy
and clean. Most of it will average, it
is estimated. from 35 TO 40 bushels to
the acre, and the grain stands four to
five feet high. On fields which have
been cultivated for the first time this
year it is not quite so thick as on older
fields, but the entire average is good.
There will be more wheat harvested
near Ontario this year than ever be-
fore.
