ANGLE &amp; SON, Publishers a(ember of Washington State Press and Washington Newspaper Associations Intered as second-o'lass matter at the postolllee at Shelton. Washington Published ,avery Friday morning. Subscrlptlen: l)omestlc, $2 per year. Foreign, $2,50 in adwmee (All palmrs discontinued one month after delinquency) ............................................................................. Il JOURNAL STOPS COMING As one of our friends felt aggriev- ed recently when his Journal stopped coming it might be well to remind our readers that the subscription department is one which contains the closest margins in the business of the newspaper, and must be watched closely to avoid loss. With print paper now selling at 12 cents a pound, over three times the price in old almost-forgotten days, the Jour- nal must stick close to its cash-in- advance rule and will not carry any- one over thirty days from the month of expiration, and an extra month should be sufficient for those who de- sire the Journal continued to make remittance. Several newspapms of this class have recently increased their subscription price to $2.50 and $3, and the Journal may find it nec- essary to take a similar step. PROFIT IN SMALL FRUITS Market conditions as reflected in the daily s,aLcrnOtLgS a>sure a most prosperous year lot the small Irmt gl'OWel'B, l£55Ulli|llg OJ. COUI',O tJlab nature iurntshes tle usual whole- some processes and delivers a crop, says tne t'ost-inteiligencer, dUSt now the grower who desires to be sure of his prolit can contract with canners at prices that are exceedingly attrac- tive, especmlly wlaen contrasted with toe olu prmes that annually obtained up to a year or ewe ago. The market page inmcates that the canners are now actively in tne field :[or berries el all KinOs. Qk)ntracs are being made for raspberries a 17 aim ±o cents per pounu, as agains an opening price of 11 cents per ountt Iasb year. btrawberries are eagerly sought, eontractea for at 18 to 20 cents per pound. Cherries bring 9 cents, loganberries, yielding much heavier to tim vine ttan rasp- berries, are contracted for at 12 to 15 cents per pound. With sugar prices high, and going higher, there is little encouragemen for home canning in the market cpn- ditions ,and the demand frdm house- wives for small fruits is likely to be very limited. It is fortunate for the grower that canning companies, hav- ing for the most part contracted for their season suppnes of sugar at 17 cents per pound, are willing to take the whole crop at the liberal figures quoted. For the seasonal table con- sumption strawberries are likely to sell for 25 cents the pint in the heart of the season. All this, while not particularly at- tractive to consumers, is a warrartt of prosperity to tim small-frmt grow- er, and comes about through the OWth in the nation of the demand preserved fruit, jams and juices, and the development of large con- cerns to meet toe demand. This con- dition is not regarded as a temporary affair, but one that should .continue as long as prohibition contlnues to stimulate the public appetite for fruit • juices. It means that small-fruit growers may confidently expect pro- fits of $300 to $500 per acre on their berries under average crop condi- tions. It should stimulate the trans- formation of our idle lands into crop- bearing acres and add value to the acres already in bearing.--P. I. D. R. McDonald, while on a trip to Seattle last Sunday, took advantage of the opportunity to take a flight at Auburn with Herbert Munter, in the same machine that bore that Journal editor aloft last Fourth. The trip lasted a half hour and the passenger wanted more. Mr; Munter suggested .that he would like to visit Shelton again next Fourth and the matter will be taken up by the committee L charge.

It tries, but it remains for the people to develop them. Water power development goes hand in hand with indnstrial develop- ment of every kind. Development of the lumber industry, is largely de- pendent on the development of 'coast- wise and overseas shipping facilities, while development of a eannig indus- try is contingent upon increased berry and small fruit acreage and the fur- ther scientific propagation of salmon for commercial fisheries.
