CHERRY SALES MADE
TO Army ON. DEPOT
Z CAR LOTS SHIPPED

Salem cherries $4,000 cans of 'em
(two carloads) will be shipped from
Salem this week, by the Oregon Pack
ing company, under contract to the
United States government. The ship
ment while not unusual in shipping
circles here, is regarded as a good
one-product consignment during mid
winter.
G. ID. Fraser, government inspect

the Oregon Packing Company, Wed

ity and quantity. The cherries are all
of one grade, No. 1 grade, Royal
Anne's, packed in heavy syrup. This
is the first government consignment
made by the Oregon Packers this win
ter and its destination is the Quar-
termaster's Depot, New York City.
E. c. Quinn, manager of the local
cannery, reports that stock clearance
has been steady this year, an average
of 80 cars being shipped monthly. At
the present time the local plant is
undergoing annual repairs in antici-
patton of the requirements Of the
next season.
Reports coming in to various fruit
buyers in the Willamette valley indi-
cate that most of the canneries anti
cipate good run this year despite
the period Of unusual cold, early in
the winter. From these sources, there
is still doubt as to what the coming
of spring will disclose, SO far as frost
results in the botto mlands are con-
cerned. There is general agreement,
however, that none of the losses in
the lower lands are as serious as at
first prophesied. In the upper dis
tricts of the valley which represents
approximately rs per cent of the fruit
crop, very little damage is notiveable.
