A few, yean -later prune .were crown in Oregon, where in 1880 . they ? were ; considered-. -a minor crop. .". .'1 - The climate of. the -Willamette, Umpqua and Columbia Hirer vol ley proved: to .be favorable for their production.'. About 20 years ago new orchards appeared and the Industry of , prune . growing spread by the hundreds of .acres. v - At the Dalles , and in the Urns tills district of Northeastern. Ore con, prunes ..areM. raised . on a smaller scaled, There on Irrigated prunes ripen early and . have a longer keeping period tbas those raised in the valleys- Few, of these re dried, the greater .Aidant .of the crop being shipped to eastern states. . .,:- The chief commercial Tarieties of prunes grown to Oregon are the ' Petite or French. ' prune and-, the Hue Italian. The Petite ia the sweetest of sll and the smallest as its name implies. The Oregon-Italfsn prune r when properly prepared, has a flavor not found in any other v ,'riety. It is large,, firm of flesh and sitgauy sew. . Three-fourths of the crop grown ia the state is produced ia four counties in the Willamette Valley. There are many, types of soil adaptable for prune growing, but all must hare a, sub-soil heavier in mixture, but. with- some ma terial from basalt rock below. A red-clay loam throughout parts of Marion county produces, the best fruit. .f .. -' ' 's. Rolling Ground Best - The prune orchards thrive best on rolling ground at an altitude of 600 feet above river beds. This, type of land drains well, during the long rainy season, hut . sut firlent water stays la the ground during the summer to provide ade quate root moisture The prune are-reedy to har vest as soon as the fruit com mences to drop on-the ground. In the Dallea region,; picking may start as early as. August 10. It is usually about the middle; of Sep tember when harvesting begins in the valleys. The harvest covers a period of about three weeks' in .each local ity. There are two pickings;, some times called shakings, for the fruit does not ripen all at the same time. The limbs are shaken by means of a ' hook fastened ' to - a pole. The shakings occur: about ten days, apart. ' After the prunes are gathered into boxes, they are rushed to dri ers and canneries. Most, however, ' are dried. The driers are ilarge shed-like bulldlngs,whlch are lo r cated close to the orchards as the I prune Is a perishable frnl&M, " Drying Time Varies ?f - At the drier - the ? prunes -are dipped In a hot solution of weak . lye-water, and then .rinsed several times lnf clear water. They are sorted for extremes of repeness as they are !put on the drying trays. The trays are then placed on . wheeled rack which Is rolled into the dryings compartment a fan circulates the warm air evenly be tween the. trays so that the fruit is unlformely dried. After being in the oven a few hours a certain amount ot their moisture has been passed off. The 'heat is then Increased to ISO de grees or over. The length or time J:qnlred for drying is from 12 to S hours, depending on the slxe and ripeness of the fruit The bet ter grade take about 22 hoars. A properly dried prune must not r contain oter 21 per cent moisture, ;. otherwise it will spoil. After the prunes come out ot the oven they sre dumped into , piles . where they are allowed to " sweat or equalize the moisture. This period usually, last ten days. r then .the prunes are taken to the packing house : where i they are graded according to size. Grades " are indicated by the number of prunes; to the pound. Some packers dip the dried prunes into a sugar syrup or di prunes inio a ugar syrup or oi- SH -SS!L whh i' .2 produce additional weight This I fc one netted of erradicatlng the ucnv wiuvu ludj vi u i rinse. The best qusiity prunes are per cartons while the poorer grades are sacked la burlap- bags. The chief enemy ot a prone crop is the climate." A i late frost will kill the joant prune in the blossom. A prolonged! foggy or rainy period will hinder poUetf- txatioav Aa early rain' continuing through the ripening period will nroduee a fungi, sometimes called brown rot The abova conditions hare more - than once demolished any hopea ot a crop. Aa especially good orchard has been kaowa to average S00 pounds of- frmlt to a tree. It : Is claimed that Oregon - produced over 30,000 tons of dried prunes one year; two-thirds- ot the North weat crop. ' " The chief foreign markets for Oregon prunes are Europe, Argen tina. New Zealand and- Canada Elevca per cent of the world's total prune output was tn the 'states ot Oregon and Washington. With the addition ot California. 'the Pacific states produce, more than all of the foreign countries put together. - Cae Is Widespread The chief prune marketing months are October and Novem ber, the . sales diminishing, until February, In August and Septem ber the selling picks np as the remainder of the old fop Is be fnc pushed onto the market Prunes are. an almost universal food. They have , been recom mended by dieticians as an Im portant factor' la the overcoming of - u ader-nourished . conditions.

Dec 31 ( AP) Pacific northwest congressmen, determined to protect the interests of their states durinir the next year, laid vise several vital federal statntes. - i ' --Their preparations for the vening January 3; foreshadowed a more or less united stand on buses striking close to home. with a division not always along f party lines on questions on strictly national character.

Senators Pons fD-Idsl aad HcGOl (D-Kas). who were later defeated in the fall election, should bo changed, but there was a variety of opinion on how the measure should be revised. 8ome price fixing plan was ex pected to find supporters among tho northwest congressional dele gation. There were also Indications from both democratic and repub lican auartera that some move would bo made to remove quota restrictions on sugar beet acre age, v The Quotas announced re cently" by . the agriculture depart ment brought strong protests from growers and professors in Wash ington. Idaho and Oregon. , Wagner Act Argued It wss freely predicted In Ore gon and Washington offices .that determined effort would be made to 'revise the Wagner labor act,' although the national labor hoard, has Insisted no change is necessary. '- Business men and officials of the two states feel differently, however, contending the act Is one-sided and conducive to unrest among varionsQsiabor factions. They point to the Bitter contro versy between the CIO and AT 1 that has raged for months In the northwest states. . Rearmament proposals hare been received by th delegations of Washington. Oregon, Idaho and Utah with mixed emotions, and a sharp division Is expected, though aot entirely along party lines. Neutrality, wage-hour and so cial security legislation are top ics which are also expected to evoke the lively Interest of the northwesterners. although so fsr as can bo determined none plan to initiate legislation looking to ward a change. The comins session undoubted ly will find representatives of th four states thinking alike on leg islation affecting reclamation, for estry, saining and nubile lands. , - .

It la reliably reported that the Interior depart ment has asked S2t.oee.000 tor tho fiscal year 1240, more than twice ue amount appropriated for the current fiscal year, in an effort to speed up construction on the big Columbia river project Funds will also be asked for continuation and expansion of the blister rust control program in the western forests, and this request is expected to require and receive tho united support ot the western delegation. A movement Is also under way to boost the pegged price ot silver from S4.C4 cents an ounce, it present price under the govern ments silver purchase "program, to 75 cents. TJtahans are presslns bard for this Increase. Before the gavel falls marking the end of the first session of the 76 th congress, expected tn late summer, the northwest states will have received more millions ot dollars of federal funds. Federal Millions Expected The great variety ot federal ac tivities In the states agricul ture, forestry, mining, reclama tion, national parks, roads, power projects, and national defense requires that large sums he ap propriated annually. : In addition to these millions, there will probably be other mil lions -from the so-called emergen cy agencies, set up by the admla Jstratloa to meet the needs of a country ridden by depression. ..
