Loganberry
Season Drawing
To Its Close

The loganberry season has pass
ed its zenith and picking is al
ready over in some of the vine
yards where berries ripened early
though it will be ten days before
the last of the crop is harvested
II is estimated that the total crop
will approximate 4200 tons OF
which perhaps 1000 tons remain
to be picked.
The Phez plant has already
pressed in the neighborhood of 500
tons and expects to press 200 or
800 tons more. The total pack of
the Kings Products will probably
reach 1000 tons, while from 500
to 700 tons have been utilized by
each of the larger canneries and
probably as much more have been
dried.
All of the crop will be utilized
and the loganberry industry can
be said to be fairly past the great
crisis that threatened its existence
and the future seems assured.
When the season began there was
apparently no market for the ber-
ries. No orders had been received
by Gamers, but after the season
began, orders began to materialize
and while the growers will not
realize fancy profits, they have
made expenses and most of them
something additional.

Gated that a similar anxiety hat

"In drafting the announcement

All Japan has to do at the con-
ference is to present her case open
ly and candidly. America is not a

from a position once she is met
with argument based on justice.
Isolation must be avoided at all
costs, but Japan is in no danger. "
The comment on the Washing
