Driers
Drier capacity' will be a limit
ing factor this fall and combined
with that will be weather con
ditions, and length of drying sea
son." However, a great many new
driers are now being put up and
others are, being enlarged and Im
proved. The association in or
der to help its members as much,
as possible in the present emerg
ency, has engaged L. N. Miller of
Eugene to take charge of the
five association driers. Mr.
Miller cornea highly recom
mended, having followed the
cabinet and contracting busi
ness In Portland, Maine, for a
number of years.- Since comlnr
west he ha nnde a study of
prune drying He is operating
successfully two driers ot his own,
and Is frequently consulted. t)y in
dividuals and organ Izatiqns-,on
drier, problems. He is a. member
of the Oregon Growers and is anx
ious to receive all the co-operation
possible. .
An estimate will be secured of
the tonnage to be dried in the dis
trict first,' and then whatever is
necessary within reason to fix
these driers op. to handle this ton
nage, will be done.
Green Prunes. ,
It seems to ns that entirely too'
many growers are lulled to sleep
on the drier, question by. a belief
that canneries or the, market will
take the surplus tonnage, green.
Before anyone neglects his own
drier or fails' to make proper ar
rangement for getting his prunes
dried, three conditions sbonld be
kept in , mind,. First, there la a
limit to the amount of canned
prunes the jnarket will take, and
combined , with that Is a. limited
capacity In our canneries.
Second, canneries wiH not pay
more than they have to and' if
growers are. limited in their out
let, prices for, green prunes may
go. even lower than what is being
offered today
' Third,.the association has sold
a. big tonnage dried at prices that
are extremely attractive, . Every
drier belonging to association
members should be placed. in first
class shape and prunes from asso
ciation, member who' have . no
driers should .be taken on first
-. , - Market Conditions.
Some people eem to think that
the prune! market this year la one
of spectacular selling. This is not
the case. The world wll consume
pur prunes even though the xrop
is big. but prices must be reason

Many of our dearest memories are those of our childhoo4 horn e. Would you withold from your little, ones those same sacred,
hapjpy, memories in after years? It is in the Home that you children first base their concept of liferof duty and industry
and responsibility. Denying them a home of their own now robs them of these memories and the higher ideals, the saving

A homethat you own, by its Tery stability and permanency, will impress your family with that self-respect and responsibility,
which come through being an established part of a communit y. Children who live here today and elsewhere next year never
acquire the home idea of steadfastness and constancy. Instead, they receive impulses to float and drift which may follow
