Doukhobor Buyers Line Up Berries For Cannery Sale

Widespread raspberry harvesters including H. B. Walton J. G. Miechbie H. Hall D. McGillivray G. Doane W. McDonald and TH. W. Noble have contracted to sell their berries to a Doukhobor cannery. The deal aims to net about the same as local cannery rates, but formation of outside sales drew disapproval from many growers. Picking costs are set at about 3 cents per pound with prices around 7 cents, leaving a small margin for the buyer. The operation moves berries from the Kettle Valley region to the Doukhobor facility, and ground arrangements have been planned for pickers and handling.
