WASHINGTON ana Oregon last year ,hipped
" native berries and fruits to the markets Of The
world in the form Of jams, jelles, preserves and
various canned goods valued close to $40 600 0OOOO
Yet market possibilities for our wonderful products
have scarcely been touched; not onetwenteth Of our

All this Western country produces wonderful
berries, but back In days before the White Man came
the Valley OF the Puyallup nesting close up to the
Mountain hat Was-Cod, was famed fur and wide
among the Indians. who gathered there each year in
beryins time
Then came American pioneers to the Valley, and
banded themselves together to raise more and hnser
berries. This community Of eighteen hundred men
nd women began preserving these berries that the
whole world might enjoy their freshness and Havor
So grew the Puyallup & Sumner Fruit Growers
Canning Co, whose plants at Puyallup and Sumner
and at Albany, Ore packed and sold fruits, jams and
jeies to the approximate amount of $4,000, 900 in
1870 greater volume than in the previous ten years
of its existence
Twelve thousand men and women were needed
to handle the fruit in M varied processes from the
vine or the tree to the finished ready to 60 to
every state in the Union.
The Puyalup and Sumner organization paid out
$26O0000 for fresh fruits and labor in 1920 Il re-
qured Isl carloads of glass jars alone to contain the

1t is understood that Mr.. Hoover
has tentatively planned to make a
trip through the middle west in the
late summer, in which event it is
anticipated that he will visit Rich
mond. Mr.. Hoover received his early
education in Friends institutions.
S. Edgar Nicholson, of Richmond, as
chairman of the Friends committee on
prohibition, appeared before the judic-
larry committee of the house last week
and spoke in advocacy of the new
Volstead act, the purpose of which is
to broaden the powers of the original
Volstead prohibition enforcement act.
Mr.. Nicholson urged that the act
provide for the enforcement of the
prohibition amendment to the con-
stitution in the Philippine Islands. AL
though the attorney general of the
United States has held that the eigh-
teenth amendment applies to the Phil
ippine Islands prohibition has not been
enforced in the islands because the
original enforcement act did not spe-
officially state that it was applicable
TO the far eastern possessions.

CRAWFORD'S REFUSAL
CAUSES CLOSE RACE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 23.-The
refusal of Earl Crawford of Milton, to
accept the post of secretary of the
Indiana Federation of farmers associa-
tions, resulted in a close contest be-
tween three nominees, necessitating a
long period of ballotting, with the fl
nal election going to Perry Crane, a
dairy farmer of Lebanon, Boone
county. Crane was elected on the
twenty-seventh ballot
Crawford had steadily maintained
that he should not hold this post in
addition to his position with the state
highway commission, and his director
ship of the state federation, and when
votes were cast for him on the first
ballot, at the recent meeting of the
directorate, he left the room and re-
fused to have any further part in the
proceedings. This was interpreted by

that the eighteenth amendment shall
be enforced, under the provisions of
the act, in the United States, its terri
tories and possessions. it has heen
held that all legislation which is to
be applicable to the Philippine Islands
must specifically state that fact. The
new Volstead bill provides for the en-
! forcement of prohibition in the United
States, its territories, the Philippine
,, Islands and other insular possessions.
Representative Dyer expressed the
opinion that before congress made any
effort to enforce prohibition in the
Philippines the sentiment of the
residents of the islands on prohibition
should be first obtained by means OF
an election.
