ESSEX COACH
Why Consider a Lesser Car?
It Has Beauty Performance Super-Six Smoothness
Economy and Endurance
This is the greatest Essex value in
history. It is the Finest Essex ever
built. The price is the lowest at
which Essex ever sold. The largest
production of 6-cylinder cars in the
world, giving economies in purchase
of materials, manufacture and dis
tribution exclusive to that position,
make this value possible alone to
Hudson-Essex.
The new low price places it within
the reach of all, and it has the bril
liant performance, reliability, riding
ease and fine appearance for which
Essex is famous.No wonder everyone
is saying these things about Essex.

It Is hardly probable that the

Aside from the liberal cash

board and the many specials post-
grade large, and that the recent ed by individuals and organlza-
rains will cause the prunes to do
much larger and better In quality.
This Is the opinion expressed by
the McMinnville bank in its an
nual prune and walnut crop sum
mary. Conditions in Marlon and
Polk counties are reported to be
nearly the same.
On the other nand an unusually
good crop from 3 5 to 50 per cent
above last year's yield Is predicted
In the report. Blight la showing

treea are shedding considerably,
but as this shedding practically re
lieves the trees of the blighted nuts

It will cause the nuts ot be fully
filled and of higher quality.
Prices on prunes being quoted In
Salem are:
30-50's, Sc; 40 45s. 61c to Tc;
50-55B, 61c; 35-40S, 8c to 81c; 45
50s. 6c to 61c; 65-608. 6c.
The report summarizes the
prune situation In every center ot
Yamhill county. This summary
follows:
Amity On the hills the crop Is
very light: In the foot-hills and
valleys, on the younger trees, there
is indlcaUon of an average of 60
to CO per cent of a normal crop.
Bellevue The foot-hill orchards
indicate a yield of approximately
30 to 35 per cent and the prunes
are of unusually large size.
Carlton 20 to 30 per cent of a
normal yield is the-report of sev
eral growers In this district. With
the younger orchards bearing slight
ly heavier than others, the report
would probably Justify an estimate
of one third ot a normal crop.
Dayton Reports from this dis
trict indicate that the younger or
chards will have 35 to 40 per cent
of a normal crop, while the older
orchards show 25 to 30 per cent.
Dundee On the higher lands
crops seem to be rather light, while
on lower foot-hill land where or
chards received careful attention,
indications are for a yield of ap
proximately 46 per cent of nor
mal.
Lafayette The older orchards

Sheridan In this district most
of the orchards are on the higher

prospects are reported to be for

The condition declined eight points
and was estimated to be 60 per

and a ten-year average of 76 per

7 per cent In the bearing acreage
of prunes compared with 1924. The
