BERRY GROWERS
BUILD COMMUNITY

People generally fail TO realize
the Importance OF the berry industry
to Westerns Washington. The berry
growers. in the main, are owners OF
small tracts. There are many thou.
sands OF them In Western Washing
ton. and the prosperity OF the dis.
trict depends to a large extent on
their prosperity. II you include the
people employed in the canneries, 1
believe the berry industry supports
more families here than either the
lumber or fishing industries.
Another condition that is affect
ing the berry industry 40 some ex.
tent is the high price of sugar. This
will undoubtedly reduce the number
OF crate sales for home preserving.
Tho cost of a crate of berries and
the necessary amount IL high.priced
sugar combined, is apt To discourage
tho small-salaried man from stock
ing UP with his usual supply Of pre-.
serves.
However, the real cruxfof the sit
uation is the labor shortage, and IL
this can be remedied. the berry
growers, while they win not have a
highly profitable year. at least will
not have n bad one"
