THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON, THURSDAY MpRNING, OCTOBER 13, 1027 4 i . v 'IT 5) i 1 V - i . ; i" TWO BELATED INTERVIEWS OME ; PRUWE INDUSTRY BY THE LEADERS Waller Tf Jenks, Manager of the Willamette Prune Associa tion, i Recently Returned From a Tour Abroad County Fruit Inspector Van Trump on Present Tendencies. There are two belated inter views with leaders in tlie prune industry that were secured late i . :t fVf-Tiinir.- and must be made tvui-h shorter than their deserv ik. " V Walter T. Jenks has recently returned from a tour of Europe, in which ht interviewed many nien in the prune trade Me round the Germans decided ly favoring the Oregon prune; the Italian: t ho tart-sweet kind. He found the Hothula-Servia crop this y. ar very short. The Fjrench crop (sweet prunes) la aboat normal. Taeyaienot dry their we dc J Tiie French practically Cook them, in an.uven process. x Mr. Jenks interviewed men in thf triU. In the United States, as ' well jr'Hur6pe. The fact that. the prices Tor Oregon prunes have parted low ie favorable; the same is true :w to the California crop. The dealers have a chance to real ize a profit, on a little rise. Half the Oregon crop of small sizes is o!d; is in hands of dealers. The prices now range at an average of nrouud four and a half cents -a pound to the grower; perhaps slightly higher." Of course, the small tjizes are lower than that. The low prices will allow the re- Fir to Sacn - Speiaal rcductajtood in speedr, fll-coach trains every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. Low-cost menus in diner and I unch car. Trains lease Salem 11:43 a-ni., arriving San Francisco 10:30 a. ni.

The big chain stores are doing this; featuring prunes, as the lowest priced of any fruit to the consumer. This will help. It may clean up the crop. It may help in years to come. . The Other Side But there fsv-ah enormous crop of prunes. In California they have saved perhaps 400.000.000 pounds. The output in that state has doubled since 1917. And they had a carry-over of 60,000.000 pounds from last rear. Fortun ately, the, Oregon . ropi only about 40.000.000 pounds; half of last year's. This means the Will amette valley and southern Ore gon and Clark county, Washing ton crop. . Mr. Jenks fears we have too many prunes. He says a bumper crop with Us would- mean 140, 000,000 to 150.000.000 pounds; if it could all be taken care of. Some trees are being taken out. But new orchards are coming on. Mr. Jenks and his partner, Mr. Gile. are also growers. They have 300 acres in prunes, and saved most of them this year. But he is not telling of any considerable profits in .growing prunes at present prices. Cleared a little on two or three of their orchards. Mr. Jenks found a favorable thing. The differential, against LOregon prunes in favor otJthe Cal- I J. -l ' . , , . . . . TTorma prune is anout wjpeq oui. SomqtiC.erman dealers spoke of a lft pr cent differential, instead of one to two cents a pound or more. Mr. Jenka has an idea that Cali fornia prunes of small sizes are now being sold at lower prices in sosne markets than the-Orego prunes of the sama sizes. County Fruit Inspector County Fruit Inspector S. H. Van Trump was seen last night. He has little new, over what he has been 6aying In former annual prune Slogan issues. He still thinks the best prune lands are on thev low grounds: the loamy soils. Or the first bench lands. In the high hills, growers are find ing it difficult to get large sizes. Mr. Van Trump has the same ideae as last year on fertilization, spray ing and pruning. There should be thorough pruning. He thinks favorably of the sweet prune. He has seen several of the large sized new sweet prunes .tried out. He still thinks a great deal of the Noble French., though it was a shy bearer this year. It had before thie year i f . 8 I V i 1 ''1 S ! : ; S" 1 I . I.- shown persistency, in heaty, bear ing. He said there are l2;uVo acreT bTprunea' itf - Mar ton onn ty, and $U00 in .

The O. A. C. peo ple are favorable to the Noble French variety. Noble Andrews, originator of this new big sweet prune, as will be seen elsewhere, sold his dried crop both last year and this year at 25 cents a pound.

White Collars': Selected -As De Molay's Fifth Play "White Collars" the De Molay play to be staged at the Elsinore theater. Tuesday night. November 1, will be the peak of amateur dramatic efforts in Salem, if the industrious practices indulged in by the cast, directed by Mrs. Bra zier C. Small, are any indication. Practices are held every night. The De Molay boys feel that they have an added responsibility in this, their fifth dramatic venture, in view of ' the fact that Anne Nichols' comedy of American life os rated as one of the top notch plays, having ' enjoyed a record run of three years in Los Angeles besides a year in New York. Last summer, thei Henry Duffy players presented the play In Portland to packed houses. (By Radio Contest Editor) Yesterday brought a big snow er of votes from the various can didates. Several contestants sta ted that they didn't know they had so many friends until they got into the contest, as friends came from every quarter volun teering assistance. Contrary to expectations no one has the prize won pet. No one has a lead that cannot be easily, overcome be tween now and the close of the contest. The work done between now and the close of the. contest will undoubtedly determine the grand prize -winners. All the wide-awake candidates are strpn gly figruing for the prizes in the election contest but they realize that the final results depend al most entirely on what is done the next few days. This is a real race and real can didates are competing. Jixst look over the list -of candidates. Are they not representative boys and girls? Winning in this election means more than merely winning the first grand prize. It means victory over one of -the most for midable assemblage of boys and girl -candidates Marion and Polk counties have ever seen competing for truly extraordinary;" prizes. All Marlon and ,Polk county is watching this campaign.' Watch ing every candidate awaiting to see who can command the greatest support, who has the friends and ability to carry on. No candi date will admit defeat. All are claiming victory and as close as the race now stands anyone of the list of candidates can walk away with the biggest prizes. The Statesman's Radio Contest is now narrowed down to the point where only the live ones re main, each of whom is going- at top speed to get all the subscrip tions in before the close ot the contest on October 22nd. , t Such enthusiasm, and energy was never before seen in any ju venile 'contest as is being shown daily in this race for the Tdios, bicycles and other prizes Theife sems to be no limit and every candidate has started up for-.th finish which is but few , Sas away. Candidates who have for .?fCUr Mer Tdestwprkjprs are still going at iit,a,a thoagh they haff saved a U the I energy for' the big finish. Thiiy?indlpates, that every fngfe candidate on th IJst has ptettfrittii fiH! , Wf t. lt 4tsQ,; show that the cthdldatea h look; harmless now; will be among the strongest whfen the end comes. They are all watching the oth er fellow , and arranging and planning to go them one better. This mhph is certain, , whoever wins any bne of these prizes, prob ably will! do so jby a very narrow margin though the, winning figure will doubtless bp large. If the present leaders figure their lead are ample they are due for disappointment when! the winners are announced. In jsuch a fieid of jjsnergetic workers it is certain .that some : of the most spectacular : work of the contest is yet to i come, i That "Never say die" spirit was never more in evidence: than it is right now. It is quite. sure that some pf the contestants who have appeared less active; in ihe past few weeks will be thei very ones who will do the best work in order to get un der the wie with every possible subscription before the end of the great contest. ; - Saturday night. . October i 2nd, the great last! of; prizes will be closed forever. Three radios, three bicyc! es i and other prizes will be distributed as announced at the beginning pf the competK tion and tftere are just ten days left until the (contest is over and the winner ;'are enjoying their prizes. i Candidates jwho wish advice should makle it a point to call at the office ajnd are invited to con sult tlje election management on matters pertaining U the contest. Ed Weisner is one of the keen est of the contestants today and is surely making a wonderful ,ef fort. ',, , :. f 1 . .
