Van Trump, of Mar lon county, says full grown, prune orchards In this "district ought to yield five tons of dried fruit' to the acre.

Van -Trump says "there la. no better prune district on earth, and or marketing conditions are absolutely the best." He says that land that la suitable for prunes may.be bad here for $75 t200 an acre- owing to the distance from market. " ' v i ; The prune industry here is young yet.
