r i ; " i.i;,' 8. THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1924 NEE Off TEW HB1ES REVISED Northwest Harvest Will Be Around 30,000,000 Lbs. Says paulus f With between 40 and 45 per cent of the 1924 prune crop sold, packers are revising their esti mate of the northwest prune crop this year and :now place the f la tere at 30,000,000 pounds, accord ing to letters being sent to all brokers by the R. C. Paulus com pany.' The letter is as follows: During the past two weeks har vesting' has Jbeen going on, and growers are now beginning to find put about how their estimates and their final deliveries of prunes is going to check out. In most in stances the deliveries are going to be under the earlier estimates!. Just why this is true Is hard to figure out. for the reason that tomi of the best growers, . who have been in the gam the long fcat, 'have missed their estimates the most. i : ; tf The writer and his brother have $5 acres, and ordinarily we would expect from 55 to 75 tons of dried prunes from this acreage. We guessed the yield a little earlier in the season at 25 tons, and it Is going to run, very close tq that amount. i . It' has been hard to estimate prunes this year for-the reason that' there are. apparently, quite k fev prunes on the tre?8.'.r,This Is due to the fact that there are Angle prunes scattered "all "over the trees, but In ordinary years you get the same impression' from looking at a tree, but there are Snore prunes in clusters of from three to a' dozen each, and this fa undoubtedly the reason ; why most everybody is overestimating oh this year's crop. Due to the fact that the crop s going to be shorter, and also the fact that the extremely hoi weath er the last two weeks has been rutting sugar : into the prunes, there are going to be more forties and less fifties than ordinarily anticipated. The total output of thirties, however, will not be af fected very much for the reason that thirties Will be obtained only from orchards which have ex tremely short crops, and they will run practically: straight - thirties anyway, so that the increase in sugar content will not materially increase the quantity of thirties Which will be obtained from these short crop orchards. : Vf ; i . Packers now have their Ideas down to around 30,000,000 pounds for the total; crop for the north west and if this should turn out to be the final figure we would estimate that between 40 and 45 er cent of the crop has already been sold, and quite a considerable portion of the trade has not yet taken care of its requirements. Packers have been buying the most desirable lots of prunes, es pecially those which will run heavily to thirties, and 30-40s, as far as the growers with unsold prunes are concerned, are getting jcry scarce. ; : a Professional Rodent Exterm- v inator Reports on City Garbage Heap It i Easy to Wash with the tliasy Washer We want to show you bow: it Is done.

Not if it crosses all the way. Salem's dump ground is re markably free from rats ? and would be more so if the dump ground were not in such close proximity to the stables at the fair grounds, Mr. McGowan. pro fessional rat exterminator for tno Southern, Pacific, told Alderman W. H. Dancy after an inspection of the dump. He highly compli mented the city upon the condi tion of the dump, which was held to be small for a city the size 7 Salem. Through the constant use of a special spray the , dump has but few flies this year. ; j There is no use in the city seek ing to rid the dump of rats as long as the stables are so close, Mr. McGowan said." As a result of his suggestions, efforts are beinsc made for cooperation between the city and; the state fair board to exterminate the rodents. ' i Alderman Dancy recently re! ceived quotations on Incinerators, such as would be sufficient to ac commodate a city of Salem's popu lation and to take care of natural increase over a period of years. The cheapest price quoted was around $45,000, wth no provision for operating expenses. : As a con sequence, Alderman ; Dancy j said, the city will not have an inciner. ator, at least,, not in ; the j. near future.

GL.OTHlNGWOOXiEN MILLS STORES inc. n iii' OREGON li Western Headquarters at t San Francisco Likes De fense Day Program ' Oregon's energetic response and preparation for participation in National Defense Test day, Sep tember 12, were commepded by western army headquarters at San Francisco, in a letter received yes terday at Defense Test day head quarters, and addressed to Briga dier General , George A. I White, state chairman. Major . General Morton, in advising of .a,; report to the war department of the Oregon plan of participation added ji8 own commendation upon "the ex cellence and completeness of the program arranged by the state committee and the thoroughness of plans for its execution." j , The big map of Oregon at de fense test headquarters showed 61 cities participating in this state, each active city being indicated by a large red pin, and the cities that are not yei thoroughly actve being marked with grene pins. General White declined to give out the list of non-participating cities, saying that while! there are few of them, in most cases lack of information is due to failure of mayors to re port activities rather than tq any lack of interest on the part' of citizens arid committees. I A small supply of yellow pins provided to mark cities that re fused to participate has gone un used until today, when one ap peared on the Defense Test day map over the name of Talent in Jackson county. Mayor Breese re ported no interest and indicated that he was not in favor of the patriotic demonstrations. Enrollment blanks sent out last Saturday to all reserve corps and national guard officers in Oregon are pouring in on headquarters with every mail. Among prom inent men j whose names were found on the rolls as one-day vol unteers . were those of George Griffith, state commander of the American legion, who will serve As a private In the motor trans port corps on September 12 and Mayor George L. Baker of Tort- land, who is enlisted as a Pfjyate in the headquarters company of the 8 2d brigade. Ministers of the gospel are enlisting In numbers and a special roster of them will be prepared. !l T. A.
