GASKILL—WHITCOMB IN
BREACH OF PROMISE

J_________________ U
(By Roswell Rossner)
As the weather has become warmer
the Dayton Hi baseball squad de­
cided to brush off some of the dust
and rust which has collected on them
for some past months. After all was
done, they played Sheridan on the
home grounds and wqn with a score
of 10 to 6, but lost to Amity by a
score of 3 to 8.
It was a surprise to the senior
class to see an old classmate return­
ing on Monday morning. We refer
to Everett Trent, who has been spend­
ing a few weeks in California.
After some days of waiting the new
baseball suits arrived.
As the time is flying by and school
will soon come to an end, the junior

PRUNE INDUSTRY
UNDER DISCUSSION
The report on the prune survey that
has been carried on for some time by
people of this and other counties was
discussed by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture in Salem at the Chamber
of Commerce rooms Tuesday, April
12. The meeting was well attended
from all parts of the state.
The recommendations were to
change the grades of prunes from
30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70 to large,
medium and small. Professor C. L.
Long of the O. A. C., suggested that
there should be a standard moisture
content of prunes in packing; an at­
tempt to have a more equal produc­
tion; annual pruning to inerease size;
summer cultivation to conserve
moisture; the use of bulky fertilizers
in cover crops supplemented by nit­
rogenius fertiliers of commercial
varieties; that those orchards on poor
lands be eradicated and only such
soils as will produce a quality prune
be kept in prunes so that the cost of
production may be materially lower;
raise the sie of Oregon prunes to
30-40 at least 50 per cent so that we
will get away from California com­
petition.
Advertising was discussed, national
and localized, with various taken.
Director Paul V. Maris, of the O. A.
C. Extension Service, suggested long­
er deliberation before taking definite
action.
