er 3, 1964 Logan Q % GROWER Gunnar Johnson ,of [ looks over part of his logan- )ereen? [S berry crop, on nearly complete. $ Six years of experimenting with various insecticides on the Gun- ear Johnson farm on Harstine Is- land has come up with some good news for loganberry growers in Western Washington. The insecticide experiments have been conducted to attempt to find a solution to the dry berLT mite ? door of the 426-2057 Face? SHELTON--MASON COUNTY JOURNAL- Published in "Christmastown, U.S.A." Shelton, Washington .... i The most for )roblem, with apparent success. Johnson is about the only sur- living loganberry grower in the county from the some eight to 10 growers on Harstine and some on the mainland of a few years ago. Johnson says production this year on his eight-acre berry field is about up to normal after six years of spraying tests eonducted by tile Washington State Univer- sity Agriculture Experiment Sta- tion. DR.. El) BRAKE of tbe Western Washington Experiment Station at Puyallup has been in charge of the which harvest for this year !s to the farm. Johnson has about 15 persons picking berries this year, mostly neighbors from Harstine, along with a few who make the journey across the ferry to pick. After the six years of spraying and testing, the mites on " the Jotmson berries have almost been brought nnder control. The dry berry mites cause undeveloped berries to get dry and hard in- stead of ripening. Tl~e mites have hit other logan- berry 'growing areas in Western Washington, but, seemed to hit the Harstine growers the hardest. The Johnsons came to Harstine in 1930 and planted their berries soon afterward. They now have about eight acres of loganberries and an llcl'e of Kra,pes. The toll of the berry mites and rel.irement of the other growers on the island ha.re left the Johnsons as about the only loganberry Harvest In A Record OLYNII'IA Harvest of limber in the state of Washington s~t a 15-year record in 1963, reacll- ing almost 51,,', billion board feet.

Com|nissione|" Cole said the har- vesting of the blov,,down timl,(,l' f)'om tile CohlnlbllS Day stotln ill 1962 and the demand for logs hy the export market were two ma- jor faeto)'s for the increase. • ABOUT 915,000,000, board feet of blowdown timber %~as harvest- ed during 1963.
