Increased Prosperity During
19271 928, 1929 Fore
cast by Sammons
SURVEY REVEALS TREND
Amnle Credit. Confident Mer-
chants and Increased Mar
kets Beady, Rotarians
Are Told
Increased prosperity for Oregon
in the next two or three years is
expected by E. C. Sammons, vice
president of the United States Na
tional Bank of Portland, who ad
dressed the Rotary club at its
weekly luncheon yesterday in the
Marion hotel. Mr. Sammons said
his bank had just completed a
survey of business conditions
which had a favorable outlook.
"The earnings or last year in
dicate that the country is at a
peak of prosperity," Mr. Sammons
stated. "Banks, railroads, and
practically all other industries ex
cept the lumber industry made
money in 1925. - '
"Everybody agreed that 'last
year's prosperity would continue
for the first six months of this
year, but in reality it has excelled
last year's record bo far and gives
indications of continuing to do so
for the rest of the year.
"New record were sef. for pos
tal receipts, bank clearings, auto
mobile sales, and other business
barometers for the fiscal year end
ing in June of this year. .
"There is great business confl
dence. ample credit, and the peo
ple appear to be sold on the Cool-
idae economy plan. On the unfav
orable side of the picture how
ever, are big speculation and over
production in some lines."
Other aspects that are unfavor
able include the Florida crash in
which 78 banks failed in Florida,
Georgia, and nearby states; the
p.ie situation, and time sales
Tms last causes an overstimula
tion of retail demand, according to
Mr. Sammons, by the Increased in
stallment buying.
Big building programs going on
all over the state were cited as
an example of the. confidence cap
ital has in the future prosperity
of the state. In his bank's survey,
it asked many other banks what
their opinion of the future was,
Mr. Sammons declared and 3 per
cent of them r said tney were
satisfied with prospects, for the
future.
Increased business for the
northwestern lurrermen hv in
, store, Mr. Sammoi. j believed, be
cause in five more years the
Southern yellow pine forests will
be exhausted. Much of the pres
ent depression is due to the large
number of lumber substitutes on
the market.

There has been a bier loss in the prune crop ; in many orch

rains and to the drop. Some growers, unable to handle the
prunes on the crround. have disced them in for fertilizer. The
drop was worse in orchards on the low lands, and in old and
more or less neglected orchards, than in the new plantings

be a large tonnage of prunes
picked, and dried and canned.
. If there had oeen no rain, ana
no drop, the waste would, in many
sections, have been as large, on
account of the shortage of drying
space.
There was positively not enough
drying space to take care of the
prunes that would have had to go
to the dryers, even with a very
long and favorable picking season.
If every prune could have been
picked and taken care of, this dis
trict would have had a sure
.enough bumper crop.
At the Packing Plants
The Paulus plant Is putting
through 3000 bushels of prunes a
day counting both canning and
drying. Is short of : help. Will
try to get a night crew at once',
for a sight shift in the canning
department. This plant is also
grading 7S.O0O to 100,000 pounds
Of : prunes a 'day, ' and will speed
up to 200,000 pounds a day. If
enough help can be had. Packing
for shipping has also begun there.
The plant is getting a car of cans
a day. They are running the
plant to full capacity, for the first
time it was ever so run. Burning
$125 worth of oil every 24 hours,
bringing the 250 horse power
boiler to full capacity. If it had
more capacity, it would be used,
to take care of a larger volume
of prunes in the dryer. The plant
has a $500 a day payroll. Is run
ning only on orders. Most of the
pear contracts, which were mostly
local, were over delivered, but
even so the surplus was sold in
advance. The plant must turn out
3000 cases of prunes a day till
the end of next week, to catch up
on advance orders. Mr. Paulus
expects prune picking to last two
weeks yet. He says most of the
damaged fruit, has been in old
orchards, or those on poor soil, or
having indifferent care. The
young orchards, have generally
done veryVwelJ- In point bf yield
and in the saving ot-the fruit in
good condition. " " '
The Bunt cannery is running
24 hours a day, on pears and
prunes, with some evergreen
blackberries. Good prunes for
canning will not last much long
er; though prunes for drying will
persist for some time yet.
The Northwest cannery is run
ning full handed on pears. Is
through with .prunes.
The Oregon Packing company
is running full handed on pears
and prunes and blackberries. That
is. the 12th street plant. The 13th

The Pacific Fruit (cooperative)

Thirty-six blocks remain to be

graded in the near future, Mr.
Low stated. The 10 graded blocks
include two blocks on South Lib
