SOME RAPID-FIRE WORK
WILL BE MADE NECESSARY
More Ranchers Are Making Ar

Home of a Portion of the Or
chard Crop of the Season

Thls week the fun will commence
Fruit will be shipped from Yakima an
carload lots. Express shipments 70
date have been heavy in Strawberries
cherries, gooseberries and such things
but there has been no such quantities
to date as would justify a shipper IN
making up carload lots. But the bic
season has arrived. There are three
or four carloads Of cherries in the
Zlllah district which will move out by
Thursday or Friday and there are 1--WE
or six carloads in the North Yakima
district which will move out a few
days later. SEQ
Carload From Zillah
1t is the expectation of the Yakima
Valley Fruit Growers Association to
get out from Zillah on Thursday of
Lamberts. To accomplish this task
will take some hustling. 1t will be
necessary to start in all the growers
who are to contribute to the carlot to
picking at the same time and it will
be necessary to have on hand some
sixty or seventy packers in order to
close up the work Of handling in as
short order as possible. The cherries
will be sent east and 1t is the desire
to waste as little time between the pc
riod when they are taken from the
|
their railroad journey eastward.
Charles Hamilton, the Association ex-
pert in the packing department, has
worked out a system under which the
work can practically all be done In
one day and on Thursday will give it
a test.
Railways Preparing
Railway officials one after the 9TH
er are coming to North Yakima and
doing their share in tightening up the
machinery for the strain which will
ment of cherries which marks the
Inauguration of the carlot business,
indicates that the strain is on and one
after the other fruits will follow in
rapid succession. More attention is
being given daily to the storage needs
and it now becomes certain that m ore
of the Yakima fruit will be held here
past the fall shipping season time has
been the case heretofore. AS stated
in The Herald some time. ago many
of the ranchers have made arrange
ments for storage facilities in cellars
constructed on their own premises
Others who were late in undertaking
such plans have begun them and the
really progressive men are planning
on holding in reserve from a fifth to
a quarter of their total crop.
About Hay Market
No price has been established on
new hay. Old crop timothy is quoted
at from SO to S13. while some extra
fine quality crop is held above thai
Inquire. Wheat and alfalfa hay is at 4
nominal figure of IS to So, but it is
purely nominal, as there is nothing
doing The same is true of the po-
tato situation and also with reference
to meats the market standing firm
where there is a market and showing
no life where weakness has been ex-
pected.
In the grocery stores cherries and
strawberries are down, but it is inn
possible to tell whether this is tenn
porary or a permanent drop. They
are quoted lower, however, than
would appear to be normal and high
err figures are expected.
Home Grown Potatoes
Yakima grown potatoes and also
Yakima grown peas are on the mar
ket and are finding ready sale. and
to help the housewife, California
sweet potatoes have put in an appear
ance and carload of bananas is roll
