IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL ORDERS
Had There Been Sunshine Growers
Could Have Pocketed Many Thous-
sands of Dollars Last Week

The cold weather Of the last week
or ten days has cost the strawberry
growers of Kennewick and Rich
land many thousands Of dollars. Not
only has the cold weather held the
season back, but it has materially
shortened the crop, lowered the quail
ity and made it impossible for the
Marketing Union to supply orders for
thousands of crates at fancy cash
prices. Last week alone Sales Man
ager L. j. Blot, of the Marketing
Union was forced to cancel orders for
local berries amounting to more than
100000.
With ordinary weather conditions,
last week would have been the big
week of the Kennewick- -Richland berry
season. Instead Of the average daily
receipts running not more than 1900
crates they should have been 1000 or
5000 each day. AS result the mar
keting plans of the local organization
have been badly upset. Mr.. Blot had
carefully laid his plans for marketing
the peak of the crop last week. Thru
the efforts of his brokers he had sue
ceeded in clearing the market of all
foreign berries. The way was open and
the trade ready for the big rush of
local berries but the weather man
ruled otherwise. 1t was impossible to
fill more than one-third Of the orders
and the trade was compelled to fall
back on Oregon and other outside ber-
ries. Not only has the shortage Gre
ated feeling of dissatisfaction among
the buyers but has cheated local grow
ers out of the opportunity to dispose
of the bulk Of their crop when prices
We're ruling high.
More than this, lack Of sunshine
has been very materially noticeable
in the quality of the fruit. The ber-
ries are lacking in their old-time color
and flavor and in spite of the Unions
rigid inspection and the growers
carefulness, numerous complaints are
coming in from the buying end. Slow
ripening, too, has spread dissatisfac-
ton among the pickers who have
found it extremely hard to make
wages.
In spite of adverse weather condi-
tions, however, the Union has been
able to maintain high range of prices
and to fully demonstrate that the plan
of marketing the entire crop under
one control and on strictly {. o. b.
basis, is winner. A comparison Of
prices this year and last is interest
ing. The first ten days Of the berry
season when receipts are light and
only express shipments are made, are
largely a negligible quantity in the
total business for the season. May 9
was the 10th day of the marketing
season last year, and May Ia the 10th
day of the marketing season this year.
The following figures are the compari-
sons for the two years:
