BERRY CROP PROVED SHORT,

The strawberry harvest is about
wound up for this season and after
taking stock it is found that the crop
has been only about so per cent of the
expected yield. While this is disap-
pointing to the growers, the exper-
ience here is only that of other dis
tricts where strawberry growing is
made specially. The crop was short
all over the state, and in some locali-
ties of the northwest almost failure.
large quantity of berries was harvest
ed and commanded very fair prices.
The shortage of the crop was due to
two reasons, one unavoidable and the
other will be overcome in another
year. In the first place the spring was
unusually backward and late frOsts
nipped the vines. This unlocked for
meteorological condition was largely
responsible for falling off in the
yield, but inexperience on the part of
growers was another factor that enter
ed into reducing the yield. There is
a good deal to learn about berry
growing in order to insure the best
results, and most Of the growers in
the valley are new hands at the busi-
ness With the experience Of the pres
ent year, every individual engaged in
berry growing is certain of much
larger crop next year providing
weather conditions are favorable.

new MANAGER
FOR CANNERY
l.. +. Watson, an Old and Experienced
Packer to have Charge OF the
.
Local Plant.

Sunday evening the directors of the
Oroville cannery closed a contract
with l.. p. Watson to take charge of
and operate the local cannery during
the coming packing season. Mr.. Wat
son left Monday but will return to
Oroville July 10 prepared to put the
cannery in order preparatory to COM
mencing actual work of packing.
Mr.. Watson comes to Oroville high
ly recommended as an experienced
and successful Gamer. He operated
plants in Missouri and Georgia before
coming west. For the past two seas
ons he has had charge of the cannery
at Pateros and in that capacity gave
satisfaction, so it is understood
Mr.. Watson was taken over the
north part of the valley and express
ed himself as very much surprised
to find such excellent soil and such
evidence of vegetation both in the gar
dens and orchards. His experience in
north central Washington has been
garnered where the land is so rocky
that sufficient number, of boulders
can be taken from tract of any di-
mension to build a stone fence around
such tract, while in the orchards
around Oroville he could not find
stone large enough to throw at bird.
During his tour of investigation Mr.
Watson, who has had much exper-
ience in canning tomatoes as well as
ifc a do
mark that to his knowledge there
were but three localities in the world
where soil could be found that would
yield upwards of S3 tons of tomatoes
to the acre, a statement called forth
by the fact that the local cannery had
so far confined its operations to the
tomato pack. Those places were on
the Nile, on the Rhine and a place he
did not name in the south where he
had operated cannery. His escorts
took Mr.. Watson to large tomato
patch in the East Oroville district
where the plants are showing remark
able vigor. Asking the owner what
Weld he expected and the gentleman
stated that If the harvest did not run
30 tons, or better, to the acre he would
be greatly disappointed. AMI that was
another surprise to the visitor who
would have to add another locality
where big tomato yields could be ex
pected.
Mr. Watson was well pleased with
the cannery equipment, stating that
the machinery was not only first class
in every particular but in the best Of
condition. With slight addition to
the equipment, at a comparatively
trifling cost, the plant will be in shape
to put up fruits of every description,
and that machinery is going to be
provided

CIRCUS DATE CANCELLED.
haiiroad Cannot Take Big Circus
over the Hill, Hence No Show.

The public, and especianv th.
Younger members of the public is
doomed to bitter disappointment.
For the first time in years OrovilIe
had promise OF real honest-to-good-
ness circus and animal show. An ad.
vance asent. s. C. Rhodes. represent
ing Howe's Great London Circus and
Van AMburg's Trained Wild Animal
SHOW visited Oroville last week and
announced that the big tent aggre-
cation was to perform in Oroyille on
Julx IA. The last issue of the Gazette
announced the coming of this big at
traction, and everybody looked for
ward to seeing an old time circus and
consequently one of the largest
crowds that has ever collected in Oro-
vile on the date set for pitching the
tents in this place.
But the coming of the circus is de-
clared off, The circus people are not
responsible for cancelling the date.
They would come quick enough, but
difficulties of transportation pre-
plan. The Great Northern Railroad
officials decline to attempt to trans
port the big cars up over the heavy
grade between Oroville and Nelson,
and that route would have to be fol-
lowed if the show made stand in this
place, as the next jump was to be Our
lew and hence down the Colville val
ley. That Nelson hill. down which
the railroad zigzags, presents an OBJ
stacle to the heavy cars that the cir
Gus uses, and the railroad people re-
fuse to take any chances in attmept-
ing to pull the cars up that grade,
and as the show could not double
back without heavy loss and throwing
it's entire itinery out Of joint the Oro-
Vile and Curlew dates had to elimin
ated.
The following letter from Mr..
Rhodes explains the situation and his
promise to visit Oroville next year
insures at least one red letter day for
this place during the summer of 1928:

Dear Sir-It Is with regret, that
have to inform you that we will be
unable to play your city this year,
owing to the fact that the Great
Northern railroad will not transport
our heavy trains of seventy foot cars
over their line between Oroville and
Curlew. Trusting that we will be able
to arrange our route to enable US to
play your city next year, with best
wishes, beg to remain,
Sincerely,

LARGE STRAWBERRY SHIPMENTS.

Large quantities of the Strawberries
grown in the valley this year are be-
ing shipped in baskets provided for
that purpose to an extensive jam plant
located at Nelson, B. c. That plant is
going to provide a never failing mar
ket for all the surplus fruits that are
now grown, or that can be grown, in
this valley. insuring fair profit to
the grower. A representative of the
Nelson canning and jam factory was
in town early in the spring and at the
time he made the statement that his
plants were ready to contract to take
all the small fruits that could be
grown under the local irrigation sys-
tenn. That struck everybody as a big
contract, considering the productivity
of this valley soil, but the gentleman
who made the offer appeared to be sim
cere in his offer. Aside from the local
cannery the Nelson plants may in the
future be the chief source of consum-
ption for the small fruit products Of
this district

HEAVY TOMATO CROP.

1t was feared that tomatoes would
not produce abundantly this year
owing to the late spring which pre-
vented setting out of plants until fort
night later than the usual planting
season. This apprehension now proves
to be unfounded as the tomato plants
have made a marvellous growth and
never before have the vines been SO
thickly set with green vegetapls. The
plants have made great spread and
are loaded down with tomatoes that
will commence to ripen within the
newt two weeks. N. l.. Thrasher living
in the East Oroville district has re-
markable fine patch Of tomatoes, ana
he declares that if they do not yield
20 tons to the acre he will be greatly
disappointed. Those who have seen the
vines feel satisfied that Mr.. Thrasher
has not set his figures too high.
