No Worry Now About Hard
Times or Cold Winter in
the Valley

With the prices of raspberries
soaring this week. the Puyallup
valley farmers are not worrying
snout hard times, or about a cold
winter. II might be said that talk
ot new twin-stx automobiles and
piano lessons for MARY" might be
heard in almost any ranch house
in the valley.
The raspberry prices haye gone
higher this week than ever before
IN the history of the valley. The
Puyallup associations canneries
We're paying 20 cents a pound, and
the Armour Packing Co, and the
rupert Canning Co. were also bid
cling that amount.
Raspberries are selling from 1915
70 $4.25 crate In the markets in
Tacoma. That is the highest
price that Tacomans can remember
since the Puyallup valley started in
the raspberry business.
May Go Higher Yet
It Is predicted that the price OF
raspberries will make another adj

In short. 1919 Is banner season
Tor the valley. w. II. Paulhamus.
president of the Puyailup & Sum
nee Fruit Growers association, told
The Star Friday.
MIR. Paulhamus was asked as to
the reason for the high price Ia
c0mans are paying for berries with
the Puyallup fields so near.
That Is easy to explain. The can
merry Is paying around 20 cents
pound for berries. There are about
~ pounds in a shipping crate; that
costs the producer 20 cents. We
viii say. then. his shipping crate OF
berries is worth $3.50 at cannery
prices.
Stable Market at Cannery
In the open market the farmer
might get 81 a crate. But he has
to pay Is per cent for brokerage.
plus the cost OF transportation and
shfinkage. BY the time he gets his
berries to market in Tacoma he does
not make any more money. and it is
more bother.
1T is more profitable for him TO
sell his berries to the cannery i'm
crates that he can borrow and get a
stable price according to weight, and
he does not have to worry about the
uncertainty.
The increased demand for cannery
products Is the reason for the higher
price being paid for berries. This year
I'VE are paying the farmers from rs
cents to IS cents more a crate for
berries over last years price Of $2.50.
The cannery products are making a
big hit in the East. and we have al.
ready sold all Of the output The es-
tfmated value of the years produc-
ton of this association is $4,000 600:
that Is sold and will be cleaned out by
the first of the year.
Crop Not so Large
sour crop In the valley this year Is
about so per cent Of last years. That
can be explained In two ways--first.
the frosts that hurt the berries when
ripening: secondly. that some Of the
farmers here are not fertilizing and
giving their berry patches the right
kind OF care.
A majority OF the patches that
had been fertilized right and given
real care during the winter with
stood the frost. The farmers need
to give the patches the most care

Peaches Hard Hit
By Wet Weather

The recent rainy period has re-
suited rather disastrously to the early
peach crop in Sumter county. The
dampness has caused the fruit to sof-
ten on the trees, and causing a large
proportion to become unfit for ship
ping.
Lee Hansford yesterday shipped
one car of Hansford's Beauties, and
today was loading two more cars,
preparatory to shipping Saturday. He
was finding large percentage Of the
fruit too ripe for packing, and today
advertised peaches at a bargain at l..
G. Councils Fertilizer Works, where
he is packing his cars. 1t is said the
weather has caused a Fastening in the
ripening, making the fruit soften in
one-third or less of the usual time
under other weather conditions.

RAINS BRINGING
TALK OF 5O-CT.
COTTON PRICES

Sumter county farmers are begin
ming to talk of 50-cent cotton, follow
ing the excessive and continuous
rains here and over the cotton belt
during the last few days. The condi-
tions of many cotton fields is said to
be the worst for grass in many years
and prospects for making anything
like full crop from many fields is
fast fading.
81 had about decided to sell what
cotton l am holding" said w. M
Humber today, "but since these last
rains | have decided to hold. The
cotton on our places is the worst
have ever seen in my 81 years of ex-
istence. The grass has obtained a
start that l fear we will never be
able to overcome, no matter what the
conditions are from this time. And
the same condition exists On num-
Der of large plantations in our section
down on the river"
Conditions have been adverse to
cotton in many other parts of the belt
not being entirely local. The crop is
backward in many places. owing to
labor shortage and condition of the
soil at the planting season, and in
many fields in this section the chop
ping has not only not been completed
but not begun. The rainfall here in
the last 10 days amounts to about
8 1-2 inches.
