BETTER FRUIT 



August, 1921 



Northwest Notes From Here and There 



OREGON 

 "PEARLIER estimates of the Hood River apple 

 crop placing it at 2,500,000 boxes, are now 

 said to have been too high and those familiar with 

 crop conditions in the valley this year state that 

 the yield will not be more than 1,800,000 boxes 

 and possibly as low as 1,500,000. The unusually 

 heavy blossoming caused the highest estimates. 

 Much of the fruit, however, failed to set and the

TTP to the middle of July the Oregon Growers* 

 Association had shipped 29 cars of its Mist- 

 land brand of prunes for export to England. 

 Establishing a demand for Oregon prunes in Eng- 

 land Is looked upon as a fine stroke of business, 

 as there is a continuous demand for this fruit 

 owing to it being popular In English homes and 

 eating houses the year around.

T O. HOLT, manager of the Eugene Fruit Grow- 

 *^ * ers* Association, announces that the demand 

 for canned fruits has picked up wonderfully re- 

 cently and that the association has been com- 

 pelled to turn down a number of orders for some 

 of its output. Mr. Holt states that the increased 

 business is due to the fact that buyers are just 

 waking up to the real condition, which Is that 

 there Is going to be a shortage of canned fruit 

 this year. The Eugene association has this year 

 canned over a million pounds of cherries and 

 over half a million pounds of loganberries. It 

 also recently finished an order for 25,000 gallons 

 of loganberry juice.
