Prune Meeting Set Next Week State Leaders of Indnitry to Talk to Governor on . Sale Problems ' Prominent prune growers, pro. eessors and eanhers throughout Oregon' were sent invitations by Governor Charles A. Sprague late yesterday to attend a meeting here early next week at which co operative effort toward marketing the state's prune crop will be eiaJ eussed. - The governor called the confer ence after announcing to a group of agricultural leaders at the ex ecutive deoartment that he had fbeen advised-, by prune growers that the prices offered by canners and. other buyers for the. 1939 crop were below the cost of pro duction. . Three proposals to aid the ail ing 'prune Industry were deveL oped at the preliminary meeting: That canners and growers meet oh a eommon ground and direct their efforts toward stabilising the Industry. That Oregon, California and Washington prune groweri Join In establishing a federal marketing agreement. That the orchard product be made mere attractive by making prune packages brighter and more sanitary. PSCO Can't Help Price cutting may have some thing to do with the present un satisfactory prune situation, the governor said, after stating he had been told prices for 1939 fresh prunes ranged from $5 to $1 a ton. Scant relief may be expected from sale of prunes through the federal surplus commodities cor poratfon because market prices only are paid, it was brought out, but it is possible Oregon prunes may be sold to the army and navy on a satisfactory basis, J.
