Packs Already Sold

Demands for Oregon canned
fruits are already becoming ap-
parent. Due to scarcity of fruit
between the Rocky Mountains and
the Atlantic coast, it is the opin-
ion of most local packers that
there will be no trouble in finding
a market for all fruit, with the
exception of loganberries, packed
in this vicinity.
Strawberries are already in de-
mand before the pack is fairly fin
ished. During the last week there
were orders received here for bar
relied strawberries which could
not be supplied.
The Cooperative Canning &
Packing company has already sold
its entire pack OF over 200 tons,
according to Fred A. Kurtz, man
ager of the concern, who an
nounced also that rs per cent of
the twenty ton raspberry pack had
been sold; rs per cent Of the $50
ton cherry pack had found a mar
ket, and that he had orders to COW
er an equal amount of the logan
berry pack which the canney was
just starting. The prices received
and offered, however, are being
withheld for the time being.
representative from California
packing houses have been in this
vicinity for the last week and are
paying two cents a pound less for
a better quality of cherries than
paid in the cherry districts of Cali
fornia.
The fact that the east has no
fruit this year, has prompted one
California concern to buy readily
without previous orders, feeling
that business will come with the
passing of the fruit season.
Loganberries have been coming
n slowly, the weather may have
iomething to do with it, but the
berries offered are in far better
condition and larger than ever be-
ore, cannery men affirm. The
ow price of 2k cents a pound,
nay have had some effect on the
lesitancy of the growers who are
oping for a better price. With a
few hot days next week, it is be-
lieved that the loganberry pack
ing season, however, will be in
full swing.
1t is believed that there will not
be enough pickers to handle the
crop when it reaches its height,
though there may be enough to
handle the demand. One cannery-
man defined the situation as acute
and asked that an appeal be made
to get every available person to
aid in harvesting the crop.
