Our Plant No. 2 devoted wholly to this .size th'e with a capacity of 16.000 tires and 20,000 tunes per say cuts costs on every operatton. On May 2, we dropped our price to $13.9.5 passing on to the car owner the full benefits of this big sales volume and thls labor-savia plant. This tire has been our standard for years---four plies lon staple fabric---extra gum betweeu plies---heavy non-kid tread. The greatest value ever offered car owners, hmist on Firestone. Our Cord Tire Values Flreetne Cord tires fire made exclusively in' Plant No. 1. Our process of double gum-dipping each ply of cord gives thicker insulation. The massive non-skid tread, with extra thickness where wear is mos. severe, gives real effectiveness in holding the car against slipping and adds many extra miles of service. Firestone Cord tires are sold at the lowest prices in cord tire history: 0x, $24.50; 32x4, $46.30; 34x4yz, $54.90.

DITIONS The trend toward normalcy during the last six or eight months has pro- duced in the minds of many berry growers a feeling that they cannot make berry growing pay. In this section of the state, where the berry industry is new both in production and the marketing as fresh fruit or through canneries, experience has not covered conditions as they exist- ed prior to the war in other commun- ities devoted to this business, such as the Puyalluv Valley and Oregon, and the farmer who put out berries dur- ng the period of abnormally high rices of the last two or three years eels that he is not getting a square deal. It is usele to go into a discussion of the causes for the unreasonable lrices paid the grower for berries uuring the last two years and the consequent unreasonable prices ob- tained for canned fruits, jams and Jellies. The sugar situation had its effect, and because of the universal employment of all available labor at unusually high wages it was impos- sible, temporarily, to dispose of_the manufactured goods at a profit. Be- ing abnormal, the condtions could not last. Some canners could not foresee the suddent return to approx- imately normal conditions until con- fronted with the buyers' "strike" of the last few months. Jobbers who competing basis.J. W. A.

Confronted with the actual con- ditions today', canners cannot approx- imate the prices paid last year. The housewife, having foregone the pleas- ure of home canning for the last two years to a great extent, is taking all the berries she can use at somewhat higher prices than the canner can pay and using them with sugar that costs her less than one-third what it did last season. Berry Industry prospects. What o£ the future? If it were possible to produce in all the areas of this country as many tons of ber- ries to the acre as we can produce here on Puget Sound, we miglat con- clude that prices would probably stay around the figures prevailing this year. But we can produce here far greater tonnage pe' acre than is pro- duced in any other section, except, possibly, Western .Oregon--tvice as much would be conservative cud un- der conditions requiring less expen- diture for preservmg the canes from severe extreme of tempcratui'e. The berries produced here are larger, bet- ter and of a distinctive flavor. These roducts of the farms of the Puget ound country have, particularly in the last two years, received extensive advertising throughout the other por- tions of the United States and for- sign countries.• Ultimately, and the time is riot far distant, Western Washington and Oregon will produce berries and snmll ftaits for the rest of this continent, at least. If we are to revert to conditions prevailing prior to the war, berries may be ,produced at approxim#tely the present prices and show aprofit to the grower comparing very( favor- ably with any other farming indus- try. But it is not believed that, after the present period of readjustment is over, wages and conditions will remain so low; therefore it is be- lieved better prices will be obtained.
