Ptune Graders Are in Demand Labor Only Factor, limiting Sale; Caiineriea Ask Aid ' The green prune shipping deal undertaken this year by the Wil lamette Cherry Growers associa tion is limited in its volume only by the number of workers avail able for grading, Manager Robert H. Shinn said Thursday. The as sociation hopes "to ship out 100 carloads and has loaded six to eight cars daily since starting early this week. A sufficient tonnage of prunes is being picked, Shinn said, but grading for quality is the "bottle neck." About 50 additional wom en could , be - employed in this! work, and some men also are wanted at the association's plant Shipment is being made in half- bushel baskets, a new departure here. Between 700 and 800 of these baskets make a carload. The cars are refrigerated, after pre-cooling at the plant another innovation. Demand for workers at the canneries also is acute again, the US employment service reported Thursday,; and workers who can put in any length of time, no matter how brief, are wanted on the night shirts. f - Though! the bean harvest Is waning, growers who are still picking are having extreme dif ficulty getting pickers, the emerg ency farm labor service reported.
