BETTER FRUIT 



December, ipip 



Tom, Tom the piper's son, 

 Stole a box and away he run; 

 The box was strong--of B. D. make- 

 Tom fell down and broke his pate, 

 Not a creak nor a groan, 

 Not a sigh nor a moan. 

 Came from that box 

 With all those knox. 



Strong boxes, carefully inspected, promptly delivered. 

 That's the kind from the

OREGON NURSERY COMPANY 



ORENCO, OREGON 



The new fruit dryer and processing plant 

 at Selah, Wash., has been handling a heavy 

 tonnage. During the season from 10 to 50 

 tons of green fruit passed through it dally. 

 The supply of fruit was so great, however, 

 thai storage had to he provided until it could 

 be processed. 



In three weeks after the work of building 

 the new plant of the Washington Dehydrated 

 Food company, at Grandview, was started at 

 Grandview, Wash., the plant was completed 

 and commenced to receive fruit. The capacity 

 of tlie plant, which was sufficient at the 

 start to turn out l.'i tons of raw material 

 daily is being increased. 



The Libby, McNeil & Libby canning plant 

 at Yakima, Wash., recently started cainiing 

 apples and pumpkins, having completed the 

 run on pears. Over 18(M) tons of pears were 

 canned, and the plant will put up 1000 tons of 

 pumpkin and 4000 tons of apples. 



The Rupert Canning company, which has 

 two plants in Oregon, had a successful season. 

 The Rupert company makes a specialty of put- 

 ting out its product under an Oregon brand. 



The cooperative cannery of the Eugene Fruit 

 Growers' Association, which recently com- 

 pleted an addition to its plant, is now doing 

 $1,000,000 worth of business a year. J. O. 

 Holt, manager of the association, who also 

 handles the canning plant is one of the most 

 successful cannery men in the Northwest. Be- 

 sides operating the cannery the association 

 conducts a processing plant, vinegar works, 

 prune dryer and spray-making establishment. 



Canned fruits of the temperate zones, such 

 as peaches, pears, cherries, and plums, will 

 find a ready sale throughout Brazil, according 

 to a report of the American Consul in Charge 

 at Rio de Janeiro. Tropical and subtropical 

 fruits — bananas, oranges, pineapples, and 

 guavas — furnish suitable material in unlimited 

 quantities for jams and jellies, so that no 

 large market in Brazil for American jams and 

 jellies can be established. Either tin or glass 

 containers may be used. The goods should be 

 packed in strong wooden cases, which should 

 be strapped with wire. If glass containers 

 are used, they should be well packed in straw 

 or sawdust in order to reduce to a minimum 

 the breakage caused by rough handling. Pil- 

 fering during transit should be guarded 

 against by strapping the cases.
