GREEN PRUNES TO BE SHIPPED Fruit Union Contracts Large Quantity to Relieve Trees Prices High 1 1 1 at In order to prevent anv Inconven ience to the prime growers on ac count of lack of sufficient drier ca pacity to handle their crop, the Sa lem Fruit Union will begin shipping green prunes next week. The crop is expected to be the largest yet han dled and a night crew will be put on by the company in ten days. Frosts late in May having cleaned up the Idaho crop, prices on the fresh have gone up to unheard of figures. Farmers are guaranteed by the Fruit union $1.50 a bushel upon del ivery of prunes at the warehouse. In case of rain or the development of brown rot in the development of the fruit, the union, the grower and the purchasing company are relieved from further fulfilment of the con tract. The arrangement Is particularly advantageous to those who wish to relieve the trees of part of their burden before drying time. Whatever the growers pick off be fore drying time would be saved In case of rain splitting the prunes. Those remaining on the trees would receive the benefit doe to thinning Pickers would, have nearly twice as long a season and it would not re quire as many to handle the crop on that accotmt. The union plans to handle from 100 to 150 cars1 of green prunes. On the basis of today's market. If the fruit carries in good condition, they would bring from $1.80 lo 2.00 a bushel net to the grower. On this basis the green prune mar ket, according to Manager Robert C- Paulus, would net way ahead of dried prunes, and the guarantee of $l.f0 per bushel is practically the same as the grower receives for a 50-60 dried prune at $190 a ton af ter taking $40 a ton for drying, which most growers think wll be the prevailing price this year. The fruit union expects to handle 5. 000,000 pounds of dried prunes during the two months beginning with September 25.. A night crew will be needed to take care of them- OVER 30000 CAPTUREDBY TWO ARMIES Week in Picardy Brings Big Results to French and Brit ish Say Reports From the War Office FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT ON PRISONERS ISSUED Germans Continue to Fall Back North of Somme Be tween Albert and Arras TODAY AND TOMORROW i i ,- t - ; f " MM r.

Nevertheless the British and the French agaiir'bave been able to gain ground on two Important sectors the British a short distance north west of Itoye, where they took th? villages of Daineiy and Parvillers. and the French on the southern wing of the battle front, where they have captured two farms in the process or clearing the hilly and wooded dis trict around Lassigny of the enemy. North of the Somme. between Al bert and Arras, thi Germans con tinue lo fall back and the British art keeping in close contact with them. Thns far the Germans have definite ly giver np the towns of Beanmont Hamel, Serre. Bucqnoy and Pnisletix-au-Montf and at several points have cropped-'the Ancre river, with the British following closely. Tho IIel iiterne salient has virtually been ob literated by the let i rem en t of the Germans and seemingly they now will be compelled to make a read justment of their line between tne Somme and Arras. In the week of fighting on the Picardy fronrs, 30.244 prisoners have fallen Into the hands of the British fonrth army and the French first army, according to an official statement, or this number the British captured 21.844. Unof ficial reports, probably compiled since the official data was sent from the front, give the number of ptls oners in the allies hands since Aug ust 8 as 34.000 and say also that 670 captured guns thus far have been counted.
