Prune Industry Faces Problem In Sanitation Lack Inability of Oregon Growers To Meet All Requirements Blamed on Poor Prices SALEM, Aug. 19. Improve ment of sanitary conditions exist ing in the dried prune industry, current prices and the labor situa tion were stressed at a meeting here Tuesday attended by more than 100 prune growers frcm va rious sections of the state. The meeting was called by J. D. Mlckle, state agricultural di rector, following reports that many prune driers in the Willa mette valley failed to comply with the sanitary standards of the fed eral food and drug administra tion. Russell White of the Portland office told of the seizure of two lots of Oregon prunes recently, lie said this could be accepted as a warning as to what would hap ' pen provided some of the driers are not improved before the VM2 crop reaches the market.

Need of materials, labor and a more favorable price lo save the prune crop was emphasized. The resolution also requested county and state war hoards to take Immediate action to assist the growers with , their labor problems and to contact federal agencies In hope of obtaining an adjustment of dried prune prices to meet the present costs of har vesting, drying and handling. Tile liest current price? for dried prunes was reported at 7 cents a pound as against from $.'10 to $-10 a ton for fresh prunes. Soap, Water Use Urged Many growers at the meeting agreed that the driers should be improved. Professor Wlegand of Oregon State college and W. 1C.

Category No. 2 Includes those registrants with dependents other than wives or children. Category No. 3 is composed of registrants with de pendent wives and category No. 4 includes registrants with depend ent wives and children.

"There will be no selection of married men with families, for instance," Croft said, "until all those registrants in categories one, two and three are exhausted.

Cruciar Softball Tilt Slated Here Willi the City Softball league in a scramble, tonight's game be tween I'.ib Texaco Chiefs and Bou cock's Butchers is expected to be one of the most decisive games of the season, as it is planned to close competition In the very near future. Houcock's, now hold ing a short lead, can either be pulled out of top sKt, or can take a fairly safe hold of first place, depending upon the outcome of tonight's contest. The Butchers are leading with four wins and three losses, while the Texaco Chiefs and Dunham's Transfermen are tied with four wins and four losses each.

The Yanks started off strong with four runs In the first in ning getting six more in the fourth and sewing up the game with another five run blast in the fifth. The Giants, meanwhile, were held scoreless In the first but came back for three runs in the second inning. No more run ners could get across the scoring zone until the first of the sixth, when a belated rally frightened the Yank supporters, as the Giants, still trying for their see ond win, scored four runs before the frantic efforts of the Yan kee players could get the third Giant out. In the hitting department both teams were even with nine apiece. However, the Giants paid the penalty for committing six er rors while the opposition was making but three. For the win ning Yankees, Harrison walloped a home run, DcBernardi got a two-bagger and Thiesen and Young each connected for two hits one of Young's being a 3-base clout.
