season is concerned. Among those who ad- 

 dressed the convention were W. R. Scott, of 

 Albany, Oregon, whose topic was, "Closer Co- 

 operation of Canners in the Willamette Val- 

 ley," and C. J. Pugh of Falls City, Oregon, 

 who discussed the child labor law. At a ban- 

 quet held at the Multnomah Hotel, given by the 

 American Can Company, the speakers were 

 Paul W. Paver of Chicago, Preston McKinney, 

 secretary of the Canners' League of California, 

 and Ernest D. Clark of Seattle. The election 

 of oflicers resulted as follows: W. G. Allen of 

 Salem, president; W. S. Pride of Bellingham. 

 Washington, vice-president; C. D. Minton of 

 Portland, Oregon, secretary-treasurer. 



According to a recent statement of \V. G. 

 Allen of Hunt Brothers Packing Company of 

 Salem, Oregon, more than 7,000,000 pounds of 

 loganberries will be packed by Washington 

 and Oregon plants during the present year. 

 He also staled that of the loganberry pack of 

 last year there is 30 per cent of the stock un- 

 sold in the two states and 27 per cent of the 

 entire stock of all fruits still unsold Febru- 

 ary 20. 



California canneries are reported to have 

 put up 267,000 tons of fruit in 1920 making 

 the total number of cases 11,382,863. The total 

 vegetable pack was 5,249,946 cases. 



It is announced that the California Central 

 Berry Glowers have decided this year to sell 

 direct to the canner in order to eliminate the 

 commission heretofore paid the jobber. The 

 central California berry production in 1920 

 was: Strawberries, 84,000 chests; blackber- 

 ries, 19,000 chests; raspberries, 9,000; logan- 

 berries, 8,500.
