Oregon Logonberry Situation
By ELIZABETH A. SCHULTZ, in the "Oregon Country

pound to to cover picking and drying
This plunged them $4,000 in debt, with
only prospects of the sale of a few fresh
berries and one and one-half cars of the
dried fruit against nine cars in pool.
The Fruit Union made desperate eff
forts to move the crop, but jobbers east
or west would not touch Loganberries.
They had no time, money or inclination
to educate the public at a time when
every business man was doing his best
to keep his head above water. One and
one-half cars were sold to jobbers.
With this immense stock ON hand,
the Salem Fruit Union soon found they
had taken a running jump and landed
in a sea of problems. They would be
swamped if they turned back now. They
were forced to take one more chance.
They strained their credit to the ut
most and borrowed $4,000 to cover the
cost of packing the supply ON hand, an
advertising campaign and the expense
of putting a number OF statesmen into
eastern territory.
These statesmen soon learned they had
to 60 every step of the way to get to
consumer almost into the kitchen to
prepare the fruit for the housewife.
They succeeded in meeting the COM
petition with the eastern raspberry and
placing the dried Logan in the middle
west, Canada and the large mail order
houses of Chicago. The latter devoted
considerable space in their catalogues
to the Oregon Loganberry.
Making Fruit Juice.
Meanwhile many had talked fruit
juice and many had experimental with
it. After four years of experimenting,
Paul Schmidt, chemist for the Salem
Brewing association, finally perfected
a process by which the Loganberry juice
would remain clear.
About this time prohibition closed the
large plant of this company, which re-
organized, installed new equipment
throughout and under the name of the
4 Northwest Fruit Products company be-
gan the manufacture of unfermented
and concentrated Loganberry juice.
Their plant is valued at 100000.
There are about twelve other juice
concerns in the valley and this year
shows an output of almost 650,000 gal
Ions. They have put the growing in
dustry on a firm basis and for the first
time in seven years the growers feel
sure Of prompt returns on their product
The juice concerns take the berry
which is too ripe for fresh fruit ship
ping and evaporation, which methods OF
marketing would now be totally made
quate to handle the immense yields.
The juice has met with instant favor
in the east ard loyal Oregonians are in
creasing the demand for it back there
by writing their eastern friends to call
/ for it at soda fountains and refresh
ment pariors.
Center Of Industry.
! Already it is the most talked Of fruit
industry in the northwest.
In figures it means just this to the
I state Of Oregon: -Four fifths Of th'
worlds supply Of Loganberries comes
from the Willamette valley. The tota
crop Of 1916 amounted to 5000 tons i

SURPRISE GRANGE MEETING

There was a rousing old meeting at
the grange in Turner Saturday April
IA. Attendance was good and lively
interest shown. During the morning
session some excellent resolutions were
passed, after which J. p. Robertson.
of the Salem grange, gave a 80 minute
talk on the coming road bond issue
which is to come up before the people
at the June election. He stated excel
lent reasons why the grange and far
mers should not support this.
An excellent dinner was served at
the noon hour, at 1880 the lecturer,
Mrs. II. r. Crawford took charge Of
the meeting. The Dairy association
were invited to hold their meeting
with the grange in the afternoon. An
instrumental musical was givon by B.
Z. Robertson and Mr.. Nye; recitations

The problem Of overproduction, with
no market and low prices, has become a
chronic ailmen in the fruit districts
of the Northwest. The disease is being
cured to some extent by the juice manu-
facturers.
Our own Loganberry industry, now
worth over million dollars to the
state, has gone through all the trials
and tribulations known to this ailment.
Two wears ago it was almost defunct
industry. At that time prospects were
frightened with the coming Of juice
concerns, but it is now about to face
another crisis.
Freight rates are to be increased on
bottles, fruit jars and containers, which
will make the manufacture of juice on
an extensive scale prohibitive. Their
bottle supply must come from the east
and the fruit must get to the eastern
market to get anything like a fair re-
turn on the manufacturer s invest
ment.
The business of the fruit juice con-
Germs, who manufacture product which
can successfully compete with any fruit
Juice on the market, was figured and
founded on existing freight rates of
eighteen years standing. Since then
there has been a constant increase in
the cost of production and distribution.
As Loganberry juice is luxury rather
than a staple, these increases cannot be
assessed to the consumer, as is the case
with canned fruit, etc.
Will Stop Operation.
These increases, with the increase
in rates, will cut down the profit so
that it is useless to hope for large con-
Germs to operate
To give some idea Of the disastrous
effect of such action let us go back
over the rocky road travelled by Oregon
Loganberry growers. The pioneers sup
piled the canneries and demands for To-
cal consumption. They get such good
returns that everyone who owned a town
lot or acreage began to plant this fruit
In two years time the canneries were
overstocked and the consumer was bare
ly beginning to acquire the taste fol
this new fruit.
Fresh fruit shipping was then tried
Logans require sun-ripening and there
fore, strictly speaking, are not a sue
cessful distance shipper
The growers problems were increas
ing. Likewise yield and acreage. The
growers found themselves with three
times the yield of any previous year
All their money was tied up in theil
crops. There was no market and NJ
money to be borrowed on such risky Sc
curity.
Evaporation was tried out. New hops
sprang up within the heart of the grow
Ter. Then everyone dried Loganberries
1T looked to be an easy matter to mar
/ ket carload of dried Logans, but wher
they started out they found a very
critical public TO be educated in th'
( proper use of the evaporated berry.

Remarkable Record
In Repair Cost Was
Made On Long Trip

to invest in running his car after he
has bought itl
In an effort to be of definite aid 10
thousands of men and women who are
balancing this question against their
check books, Milton ]. and Mrs Miriam
Thayer Seely, the latter a professor
in Oregon Agricultural college, made
double transeontinental automobile

just put together for the public gen
orally what is believed to be the most
enlightening and complete table of au-
thoritative statistics ever assembled on
the costs of motoring in the United
States.
The table, which is to be put on file
with motor clubs throughout the eOun-
try at once, is of great value to men
because of the figures it cites, while

Expense Total Small.
Driving a Maxwell touring ear, the
Oregon faet-hunters Travelled from
Portland to Boston, Mass, and re-
turned over a different route. The to-
tai of their expenses, this including
not only the cars upkeep in gasoline,
oil and repairs, but the cost of food
in camping out, was surprising - $685.

Seeley asserts, statement of facts as
to operating economy and he is con-
vinced that the record is sufficient

championship of the industry in low

The salient point in an analysis of
this table, which shows car repair
costs of $3.50 for the run east, and

coast, and the factor in motoring that
the buyer tries hardest to put his fin.

which constitute a good seasons mile.
age for most drivers, it is shown that
one can expect to keep his car in re.

total cost for car repairs having been
only $l4.
Economy Is Proved.
The long trip likewise upheld the
Maxwell IS reputation for upward of 2C
miles on gallon of gasoline in daily
service, it is shown, while the expendi
