It is stated that the Newberg Co- 

 operative Association has become the 

 property of A. Rupert & Co. of Port- 

 land. The association comprises a 

 membership of some 350 growers. This 

 district grows prunes and berries ex- 

 tensively and other fruits in moderate 

 proportion. 



Kennewick, Washington, sold the 

 first crate of strawberries for sixteen 

 dollars. It is too bad that every crate 

 of strawberries could not be the first 

 crate. The variety grown extensively 

 in Kennewick is the Clark Seedling. 

 The prices have been very good during 

 the shipping season. 



Yakima Valley believes in uniformity 

 of pack. The present interest indi- 

 cates strongly that Yakima will put up 

 a uniform, dependable pack this sea- 

 son, surpassing any past season's 

 efforts. 



The potato growers of Yakima Val- 

 ley believe in organization and co-oper- 

 ation and hope to have a strong asso- 

 ciation.

 ent pint used in packing strawberries 

 is reducing the tiiianlity of berries that 

 are canned for domestic purposes, 

 therefore some growers are advocat- 

 ing returning to the tpiart boxes.
