f Fruit IiiHiMfctur, DuiikIuh County).
An enormous crop of blo-oniH in
(lit1 inline orchards of I lie rinp'iua
valley, Oregon, this taring rained the
hopi'H of the growers Into the Hud-
hoii Htiper-Hfx t'laH. pencil ceil
prune men estimated ilie crop during
bloom lime at 14.0011.00(1 pounds
when 1 1,000,000 pounds li ml heen
the prevlotiH high-water mark. About
that time buyers began to flood the
prune diKtrictH with record prices,
offering 12, 1 It V and up to lu cent
a pound for 110 to S.Vh, iho hiRlmsT
price ever received for IblH fruit
hi nee the Industry was raiKed to the
piano of commercial production.
CoiiditioitH hnl been Ideal in every
way for a heavy set. The. winter
bad been mild, there were no frostn
of consequence, and no brown roi
infectioiiH to (died the blynnomn.
With every factor then apparently
perfect for a bumper set of fruit,
what was the amazement of the
K rower to nee li Jh crop shed off day
by day util hut 60 per cent of the
original emimateH remained. Many
traeia were left barren. One well
known grower with a contract In his
pocket calling for 15 cents u pound
for :to to :i5'n on 50,000 poimdH of
fered to Bull hiK crop for 1 10.
Comparative observations lu hund
reds of orchards under varying con
ditions leads the writer to conclude
that a certain cultural practice is di
rectly responsible for this unusually
heavy crop. The summer of 1 ? 1 7
was dry in the l'mpua valley. This
was followed by another record dry
spell in llilfi which caused manv
peculiar physiological disturbances to
occur. A familiar one was an exler
nad gumming followed by a drying
of the tissues of the fruit, resulting
in a heavy pre-hurvest drop. Drier
men state that prunes dried out eas
ier in I'.t l h than in any previous
year. I'etiles ran 'H to :; 1 pounds
to the biivhel, while Italians went V
heavy an Uli to Uti pounds. .Mueh
wood whs saved and the grower.-
i: rally were pleased at the closi
of the Reason.

ac;i:n is
5
not Iho I'olilos, at least in the I'mp
u;l valley, a Hthis; variety iH fond of
warm weather and does not require
llic cool Krowinx season that the
Italian does. Incidentally It may bo
noted that tho l'etile prune reaches
a remarkable denroo of perfection in
the iMjrtlo Creek section, which Is
the earliest marketing district in
western Oregon.
The contention of the writer is
that t lie heavy shed Is due to the
preceding dry seasons which left the
fruil buds weakened. Tho crop in
Douglas county was not above r lie
average but the moisture supply was
much less. This resulted in a heavy
biootn followed by a drop. Spitzen
berg apples, on the other hand, had
no crop In Douglas county In 1 !( I S ;
therefore, in the tracts which were
cared for tho fruit spurs received
sufficient nourishment with the re
sul' that ilie Hpilzenberg crop is very
promising this season.
Prune growers everywhere have
been coining lo tho practice of early
plowing and Kubsonuent freuuenl
cultivation. The result lias been that
there ate fewer crop failures in (lie
prune business of late years lhaii for
merly. Had Ihe 1 !i 1 s season I u
normal lite difference in crops be
tween orchards which were treated
properly early In Iho spring and
those which were not would not have
been so great. As it is the differ
ence is very striking. The lesson Is
.ipparenl in various districts in Doug
las counly. For instance, W. (.'.
Harding, of Hosehitrg. worked his
ground early In I !l I s anil ah o In
l!H!'.N Hi- has a good crop this sea
son, as well as last siaosn, while
neighboring orchards otherwise
treated well so far as pruning, spray
ing, and feriili.ing are i.oncci red,
have very shy crops and one In par
ticular on similar soil anil the same
age has no crop at all. Harding, in
oilier words, preserved bis soil mois
ture early lor th.. time when ihe
trull would draw heavily. The res,. II
was Hi., I Ihe fruil received its share
ind tin- fruit buds Mr the coming
season also drew iheir portion. The
other orcliaiils matured their mis
crop but bad no T-esere to snreug
Ihen ,e 1 ! I !l buds.
Clay I'latn manages an old :to-aei-e
orchard at Hays Creek which yielded
a large crop In pus on both Italians
and l'elites. 'I bis s. ason Ibe rruit
bancs on ihe ire.-s like grapes. In
conitasti another orchard jusl ov. r

same age produce,) a Poor cron but
season and lias still less this year,
.-itlil another grower on the opposite
side of nam's, who handles his soil
similarly, also has a heavy crop.
