Northwest Notes From Here and There 



"PlOUGLAS county will be the banner section in 

 •^ Willamette valley this year in the produc- 

 tion of dried prunes, according to official esti- 

 mates. The output in Douglas county is placed 

 at 7,500,000 pounds. The Polk county output is 

 given at 2,000,000 pounds; IVlarion county, I,- 

 500,000 pounds; Yamhill county, 2,500,000 

 pounds; Lane county, 1,500,000 pounds. Uma- 

 tilla county, with an estimated output of 2,- 

 000,000 pounds, for the first time becomes a 

 larger factor in the dried prune market this year 

 than several of the Western Oregon prune-pro- 

 ducing counties. The total production of dried 

 prunes in Oregon this year is estimated by F. 

 L. Kent, statistician of the U. S. Bureau of Mar- 

 kets, to be 21,610,000 pounds or less than one- 

 half of the tonnage forecasted early in the season.

■pSTIMATES made by the fruit growers of the 

 Calapooia River valley arc to the effect that 

 before the season closes 450,000 pounds of ber- 

 ries will have been produced in that section.

 dred and twenty-five tons of the berries were 

 shipped to the cannery at Eugene.

"W/^ITH the increase in apple production in the 

 " Hood River valley the Apple Growers' Asso- 

 ciation has found it necessary to add to its ware- 

 liouse capacity and is building storage houses at 

 Odell and Dee. The new structure at Odell will 

 be one story high, 130x60 feet. It will be built 

 of tile and will cost $11,000. The Dee plant, 

 which will be constructed of wood, will be 120x50 

 ■ feet and cost $8,000. 



AAA 



At $+0 a ton prune growers in the Ontario 

 ^^ district of Eastern Oregon have made seT- 

 eral contracts and state that they are satisfied with 

 this price. Limited apple sales that have taken 

 place in this district show prices of $40 to $75 

 a ton with Delicious showing the highest quota- 

 tion. 



AAA 



i~^NE of the largest peach crops produced in 

 ^-^ Oregon this year was raised in the orchard of 

 Alex LaFollette, in Marion county. The output 

 from the LaFollette orchards was 12,000 boxes, 

 which sold for an average of $1 per box.. Two 

 years ago the crop of peaches from the La- 

 Follette orchards totalled 18,000 boxes. It is one 

 of the few large peach orchards in the state 

 that was not injured to any extent by the 1919

'T'OTAL production figures for the loganberry 

 season which recently closed in the Willamette 

 valley are 53,000 tons or 10,600,000 pounds. The 

 output in 1920 was 7,800,000 pounds, the in- 

 crease this year being due to a much larger acre- 

 age coming into bearing and heavier yields. Tlie 

 value of this year's loganberry crop in the 

 Willamette valley is placed at $325,000. In 

 commenting on the increase in the loganberry 



tonnage in the Willamette valley and average 

 prices extending over a period of six years Fred 

 G. Schmidt of the Northwest Fruit Products Com- 

 pany of Salem, says that tlie average price re- 

 ceived by growers since 1915 is about 5/^ cents 

 a pound. Mr. Schmidt points out that in 1915 

 the average price was 1 >}4 cents a pound; in 

 1916, 3 cents a pound; in 1917, 3^ cents a 

 pound and in 1918, 5 cents a pound. In 1919 the 

 price took a pronounced jump to 9 cents a pound, 

 and in 1920 reached Its highest mark at 13 

 cents. This year the average price ran about 

 3/4 cents a pound.
