Just smell the dried prunes!' Anyone coming to Rosedale now will get the odor fragrance some of us call It. My! how that aroma sends the prune picking Itch to the finger of one who has always lived in Rosedale. Ton ask for atmosphere T Give as a" foggy morning, -an autumn haze-during the day, the thnd of ripe prunes as they fall to Mother Earth, and we say the setting is Just Tight for a prune picking day. Old timers get enjoyment of a dubious Variety out of "tender feet" in their first plunge Into the abstruse art of picking, shak ing. , or drying . prunes. What mighty inventions have been made in the line ot knee-pads by said tenderfeet! The gallons of lini ment used for aching muscles surely have been a best-seller dur ing prune-harvest. To add to a pickers aehes and pains their name Is legion the first day is usually a grand feast: the menu consists of ripe, luscious prunes for the first course, more lovely, blue prunes for the sec ond, course, ad infinitum, ad nau seam. How dewy and pleasant to pick in the morning, and of course ev eryone firmly resolves to pick SO bushels, but slowly as "Old Sol" makes his presence felt, the. firm ly intrenehed resolution dribble away, and on decides that shade is better than money: anyway, the next picking will be better! - Some years, the orchards have been a sea of mud into which the hardy pickers have plunged While the trees obligingly dripped good old H. O. down their necks to the tune of a,-pint a minute. Cracked prunes and brown rot were the product ot such atmos phere conditions; soon the crop was rained and the grower was left to face another hard year. - This year Rosedale Is taking heart again after a long post-war depression In the prune-market. Poor prices and crop failures liave been the rule rather than the ex eeptlon since the war. AH driers from Con 'Brighter one-stock building to Earl Pear eys big Lone-Maple drier, are pre paring for action. Drier-men, trac ers, .haulers, shakers, and pickers are all busy harvesting" the crop at present. If you want to see a busy man locate W. E. Way who is running fire driers scattered from Liberty to Fairriew. Let no one despise the lowly prune just come and peek into a drier for your own education. No, we have nothing to sell; come and eat a not prune right off the tray wun ns we won't charge you a cent!
