13. I "rune growers stand to lose good de I
of money when they allow tbe in scire to be
Uurrled Into too early picking. Tbla wasteful
business ha been fostered by certain packers,
who offer a premium for early dellrery. It is
also caused by tbe fear of early rains. Tb
premlama offered for early 'dellrery art not
enough many times to offset tbe lose from
early picking, sad tb weather records show
tbat It Is Just aa likely to rala early In Sep
tember as late.
"Often if harvesting Is delayed the early
rams will bat ceaeed and good weather
set In," saya tbe new bulletin, Tb Evap
oration of Prone , Issued by tbe O. A. C. ex
periment station. "In 1914 tbe majority of
growers were well under way with their bar-
resting by September 0, but we did not stsrf
picking nntll the 11th. Picking waa not com
pleted until the 2tb. when It waa found that
bad wa waited longer we would bare gained
more.
"By harrestlng tbe fruit from a few trees
after they had abed their fruit naturally, a
grower found by comparing th return with
those from fruit rigorously shaken from the
tree, that be bad lut 0 per cent of hi dried
fralt by aha king It down. The Immature
prunes dried away more than the mature.
making another 0 per rent losa In the total
crop. Tbe total losa waa 12 per cent, about
$1.1 per tatn."
An additional coat 1 tbe shaking of tbe
trees, which amounta to $1 to $2 per too. By
tcblng the fruit carefully tbe right Din
for baryeating it can be determined.

these handicaps.
Mine Output Increases A bulletin
Just issued by the United States eo

crease in tbe output of precious metals
in Oregon. Cppper and silver are both
being mined more rapidly this year
than they were in the corresponding
period last year. Although the deep
mines are yielding less than they did
formerly, placer mines are more than
making up for this decrease.
