lie urged better methods, de
scribing a prune orchard in Iten-
ton county with a sack count of
3K, which produced 1h tons to the
acre, witlt production cohi of flv
centH per pound and market value
of from nine to lu cenia. Thege
trees described are 32 years old.
Pruning Urged
RegurdliiQ pruning, Mr. Long de-
J rimed that this year, of all years
when the trees are ready to bear
heavily, pruning will bring in cash
Talues, Increasing the vigor of the
trees and the size of the prunes.
He advised that prune growers
have other crops on the place since
the one-crop farm means utiliza
tion of only 40 per cent of a nuin'R
labor. Combining prune growing
with other crops which have a la
bor burden at a different seawon
of the year, or with livestock or
poultry raising was declared bet
ter, since a man may use Ills labor
all the year round with some re
turn. Moisture In Soil
"To preserve the moisture In the
soil, don't leave the cover crop on
too long this means earlier spring
plowing or discing. .Summer weed
control Is also imporlant to pre
serve the moisture," Mr. Long
said.
"To put more humus Into the
noli than the trees .are taking out
Is something else to keep In mind.
For this, plant a cover crop in
August or September. Manure or
clover fertilizer, or good alfalfa.
, clover or vetch straws those with
hlth niirneen and protein content
have also the advantage of de
caying rapidly." said Mr. Long.
For nourishing the trees them
selves he urged additional use of
commercial fertilizers such as mil-,
phate of ammonia, nitrate of soda
or the like, used about the first of
March. Phosphorus and potash
bring no returns In the Willamette
valley, flu the soil Is n I ready sup
plied with these.
Reduce Buds
"The a vera tee prime tree carries
from 20.000 to 30.000 buds, and I
advise reducing these to ft, noo or

0 Authorities attribute the enor

Cigarette manufacture by the application of
heat. It is true that during 1928, Lucky

than alt other Cigarettes combined. This
6urcly confirms the public's confidence
in the superiority of Lucky Strike.
