BERRY LABOR SHORT
z AGE Is IMPENDING

The valley faces an acute labor short
age according to Kenneth Mckay, and
strawberry growers are in danger of
losing much of their crop. Mr.. Mckay
says that he has had calls for 500 berry
pickers to begin work the latter part of
this week and the first of next.
"The local help available is not 60
ing to be near sufficient to handle the
CROP" says he Exchange manager,
land he should call on the school chill
dren of Portland if we cannot get help
elsewhere. If parents will consent to
let their children come we will make
arrangements to meet them and see
that they are taken care OF by respon-
sible families.
A. w. Stone does not express as
grave worry over the situation as Mr..
Mckay. He states that many pickers
are going to be needed but expects
material aid from the employment
agency of the Portland Office of the
United States immigration Bureau,
which he says has been receiving ap-
plications for the local berry harvest
for some time.

DIR. RUTTER Will.
MAKE INVESTIGATION

DR.. Frank R. Rutter, recently ap-
pointed commercial attache to Japan,
honor guest at banquet of CONNER
cial club members last Wednesday
night at the Mt. Hood hotel, in an en-
deavor to secure as comprehensive in
formation as his short visit would per-
nit, conferred for several hours fol-
lowing the dinner with local apple
growers and sale agency officials at
the Commercial club rooms. DR..
Rutter states that he will make a
thorough investigation of the possibili-
ties of an increased importation of the
products of Oregon's orchard districts
into the markets of the Orient.
H. B. Miller, former consul general
to Japan but who is now head of the
Department of Commerce of the Uni
versity of Oregon, was also present at
the conference. Mr.. Miller stated that
he considered as poor the possibilities
of creating demand for Northwestern
apples in Japan, citing that the Japan
ese were fast developing orchard tracts
in parts of their possessions adapted
to such culture. Mr.. Miller, however,
thought that great strides might be
made in stimulating the fruit trade
with China. Mr.. Miller told DR..
Rutter that in Japan he would find the
shrewdest lot of commercial people in

Plans for an effective reciprocity be-

next week begin survey of the orch

assisting wheat men in their harvest

Just how many helpers they will need.

vest.

growers have but little work. "
