T'hi'i Kv^fpyyj '^ "P'^^'y replacing all other fastening and 

 ± il/l/C) ijj yoUyift sealing devices. Its economy and efficiency 

 make certain its universal use by up-to-date sfiippers, primarily because 

 it effects a Great Saving in Loss and Damage Claims, and it is impossi- 

 ble to open a package without mutilating the Seal or the strapping. In 

 either case, the fact of tampering is immediately evident. 



Used in connection with metal seals consists of encircling a 

 package with a metal strap, drawing the strap very tight and 

 interlocking the overlapping strap-ends within a metal sleeve 

 in such a manner that the joint has a greater tensile strength 

 than the strap itself. Nails, rivets and buckles, with their 

 attendant objections, are entirely eliminated. 



Reduce your expenses on lumber by using 's-inch board 

 where ''s-inch was formerly used and 50,,' on your freight 

 bills. The result is an even stronger case than you formerly 

 had at about half the cost. Write for samples.

planting.s in Yamhill County, in addi- 

 tion to Newberg. These berries could 

 be planted and developed to a very 

 much larger extent in Oregon in locali- 

 ties where soil is suitable for its 

 growth, because we believe that the 

 acreage in Oregon could be doubled 

 with entire safety. 



Black Raspberires. — This article is 

 being much more sought after in the 

 Western country on account of the 

 large acreage discontinued in the East, 

 particularly in New York State and 

 Michigan, and .some parts of Oregon are 

 well suited for development. There is 

 a large acreage in Yamhill County, but 

 very little anywhere else in the state. 



Pears. — Oregon, and particularly the 

 Willamette Valley, is very well suited 

 for the horticulture of Bartlett pears, 

 and quite extensive planting of this 

 fruit would be a big addition to the 

 canning industry, and also believe that 

 they are about as good a crop as a hor- 

 ticulturist could i)lant. 



Royal Anne Cherries. — There is a 

 large acreage of this fruit available 

 throughout the Willamette Valley, The 

 Dalles, Hood River and various parts of 

 Oregon. I believe there is approxi- 

 nialcly enough of this fruit now in 

 bearing, and coming into bearing, to 

 take care of all the canner's needs. 



Strawberries. — The growing of this 

 fruil has been largely discontinued 

 throughout the state on account of 

 various pests that destroy the plants, 

 also on account of low prices prevail- 

 ing some few years ago. We, however, 

 believe there is money in the straw- 



berry business to the growers, pro- 

 viding the right varieties are planted 

 and developed. Of course everything 

 depends on the proper soil for the 

 proper fruit and intelligent advice 

 along this line should be given by the 

 people most interested, namely, the 

 canner. 



Our plant at Newberg, namely, the 

 Valley Canning Co., maintains a school 

 for its growers where the growers 

 meet and discuss matters of interest to 

 the grower and horticulturist. This 

 hall was built by the company and dedi- 

 cated to its growers for this pin'pose. 



and we believe it is one of the best in- 

 vestments the company could possibly 

 make, and I would strongly advocate 

 other companies following the same 

 plan. 



Closely related to the fruit business 

 is the vegetable business, in which I 

 believe Oregon excels even more than 

 it does in its fruit, and there are many 

 thousand acres within the State of Ore- 

 gon of the best vegetable land any- 

 where in the world. Along the Colum- 

 bia River, for one hundred miles, is the 

 best vegetable-built land that I know 

 of anywhere in the world, and they are
