day 1t is much easier to enforce this
rule. If they are left unpicked two
or three days there VIII be such
large proportion of ~--~--i~o berries
that some Of them will inevitably
find their way into the cups intended
for long distance shipments. A soft
berry will not only soon break down
and decay itself but by offering an
opportunity for mold to develop will
contribute to the decay of the entire
cup. This point, the government in
vestigators say, can not be too strong
ly emphasized.
With the best of care, however, the
weather must remain a very import
ant factor in determining the success
of shipments. During wet, rainy
periods the berries become soft, very
tender, and full of moisture. In this
condition they break down readily
and are not suitable for long ship.
ments. During protracted periods Of
wet weather, therefore, picking be-
comes impracticable and the berries
end to become overripe. During 1911
for example, the weather was so sun
ny that practically all the berries
produced in the Puyallup Valley
could have been shipped fresh. In
1912, on the other hand, only half
of the crop was shipped fresh and
the remainder had to be canned. In
this connection 1t is noteworthy that
the Puyallup Valley fruit industry
owes much of its success to an effec-
tive cooperative marketing associa-
ton. This association purchased a
canning factory some years ago that
1t is now operating as a cooperative
enterprise. The cannery serves as
balance wheel for the industry
When berries are too soft for ship
ping they can be used for canning
purposes and total loss is thus avoid
ed. The real profits, however, must
always come from the shipments OF
fresh berries, and for this reason, the
demonstration of the fact that by
careful handling shipments may be
avtnndaI to practically twice She
present territory, is regarded as OF
the utmost importance to the berry
growing section. Careful handling,
however, does not stop with the care.
full picking and sorting Of the berries.
They must be protected from dust
and heat on the way to the lefriger
ator car and only wagons with good
springs should be used for hauling
them. Moreover, the crates should
never be tipped on end as in this way
the berries are bruised and mashed
by being rolled around IN the cups.
Prompt cooling or loading, in order
to get the berries under the influence
of low temperatures as quickly as
possible is essential.
Investigations were also made into
the value Of preceding. The results
brought out clearly the fact that pre-.

good condition. The preceding how
ever must be done promptly and
thoroughly to be of the greatest val

fects Of careless handling. Unless
the berries are properly handled and
the preceding prompt and complete
there lie little return from the extra
expense.

BY J. w. P. MASON

NEW YORK, March 2O.-NecessIty for
serious land operations in cooperation
with the battleship bombardment of the
Dardanelles is now being suggested in
London. The delay in adopting this course,
as well as the desutory nature of the
bombardment, indicate that the Allies
have gone into the Constantinople adven-
ture without preparing in advance for
all eventualities.
1t seems apparent that the campaign
has been regarded from the first as eX-
perimental and as presenting possibilities
of difficulty or success not predictab!e
at the start. There are reasons which
suggest that it has been judged necessary
in Paris and London 10 attempt to con-
quer the Dardanelles with a minimum of
effort. London's belief that an exhaus-
ton OF ammunition has caused the bonn
bardment to dwindle suggests this inter-
pretation: so does the reluctance of the
Allies to use a large field force against
the land defenses.
Several landing parties have attempted
to secure permanent Judgments on the
GallIpoli Peninsula and on the Asiatic
side of the strait But they have been too
weak for the purpose. Probably for the
most part they were marines sent ashore
from the warships Turkish reports that

LAND OPERATIONS NECESSARY
FOR DARDANELLES CONQUEST
Allies Enter Into "ConstantinOpe Adventure" Without
Proper Preparation, Expert Decares-Dversion of
Troops From Flanders Front Hardly Probable

to their ships are substantiated by the
lack of success that has attended the land
operations.
The Turks are now making new mill
tary concentrations to defend the Darda-
nelles forts against field operations. This
must mean that the Constantinople au-
thorties have received information of the
movements of enemy transports. Athens
has heard that an army corps is on it's
way to the Dardanelles from Smyrna. If
this news is true it probably means that
Pertev Pasha Turkeys most brilliant
military leader. Is being put in charge
of the Dardanelles land operations.
Pertev Pasha has been in command of
the Smyrna military district since the
war began. He Is understood to have
been held there for an emergency such as
the present, the Turkish authorities haV-
ing resisted heavy pressure to put him in
command of the Egyptian expedition.
Pertev Pasha made the Smyrna troops
the finest in the Turkish Empire and il
he accompanies his corps to the Darda-
nelles the Allies will have. to some eX-
tent at least, worthy foemen among their
Mohammedan enemies.
How strong a land force the Allies can
employ i'm the Dardanelles operations is
difficult question. There is need in
France and Flanders for every available
man If an attempt is to be made to drive
the Germans back to their own frontier.
Troops sent to the Dardanelles. therefore,
must weaken the campaign in the west.
For this reason real danger exists that
economics will be made and too few men
TO subdue the Turks win be sent to the
Levant.

Great Importance is attached to the
general shifting of directions of the
German attack in Poland, accompanied
by new concentrations of forces. which
has now become apparent. Although
fighting is still in progress to the north
of PrZasnysz, the Germans apparently
have abandoned their efforts to break
through the fortified line in the north and
approach Warsaw from this direction.
They are transferring troops to the south

BLOCKADE MAY BE
ACCEPTED BY U. s.
Government to Protest Against
Interference With lntra-

WASHINGTON. March 90.

WASHINGTON, March ~,
The Anglo French contention that the
Allies have the right to declare Euro
pean waters and the Mediterranean" a
blockade zone soon may he accepted. in
principle, by the United States. But this
Government will insist that such block
ade must be directed only against car
goes and vessels intended for German
ports. Interference with American COM
merce, en- route to or from neutral ports,
will be strenuously objected to.
The United States will suggest that the
Allies define exactly their radius of activ-
ment, as they would know that only
within its limits would their vessels be in
danger of being detained
Officials refused to estimate the exact
losses sustained thus far by American
commerce, but pointed out that the War
Risk Insurance Bureau, which had been
insuring overseas cargoes, is now doing
very little business.
The first protest against the illegal de-
tention of an American vessel will be
in the case of the Maracas. from New
York, February 90, for Rotterdam and
Copenhagen.
This steamship, loaded with packing
house products, was taken into Kirk
wall, March H. and has now been or
dered before a prize court at Hull, Her
owners deny that there is contraband in
her cargo, and Ambassador Page, at

against her seizure. on the ground that
she was on the way from one neutral
port to another. and that her detention
