Now I haven't the faintest idea what this is - whe ther a shrub, a perennial or just plain what. Could you help me? An3.: Weare all apt to do this. I got a very nice rose bush that way when jl had rather thought I was ordering a narcissus bulb. The name to which you refer is a daphne lilac, a shrub with pinkish red buds in truss form. The frag rance of this is one of it attrac tions. It is really a worthwhile shrub! ? t Mrs. F. jR. asks where;"; she can get a Belle Etoile, one of: 'the new mockoranges.

I'll be quitting gardening and as I have gardened for 10 years I just can't do that either." V Ana.: N&w I am puziled. She doesn't say "what the same old thing" is and whether the new should be a perennial, ah annual, a shrub or perhaps a rose. If it is a new rose she craves, she might itry Capistrano, Sutter' Gold or Mission Bells. If it Is a new tree there is the Norway Ma ple, Crimson King, or the new gi ant hawthorn Crimson Glory.

The Statesman The status of the prune, Ore gon's most widely known fruit' away, from home, is questionable! at this time, both processors and growers admitted last' week. It may be. unless the market im proves, that travelers on railway diners may have to eat other fruit, processors said. Even if not many prunes are canned, approximately 12,000 tons of green prunes will be dried in Polk county this season. Frank Neufeld, president of the Polk County Prune Growers association, states. Approximately 20,000 tons of prunes could be harvested in Polk county. What will become of the 8,000 is still unknown. The drier operators state they are only interested in thclarger prunes and will probably take nothing small er than the 17-to-a-pound size. Just what will be paid to the growers by the drier operators has not yet been decided. Growers are hoping for $25 a ton. Twenty drier operators will go to work in early September againnst f.our operators last year. Drier operators paid $32 a ton dockage for canning prunes is last year. Canners offered $40 but heavier than lor the dehydrated grade, growers stated, making the actual difference in price not so great as it might appear. Woodburn's cannery which at one time processed a large quantity of prunes, will, for the second year, not handle them this season. company officials said. They ad mitted that "it is too bad because the prunes this year are very good and are plentiful, but prices of fered to canners are neither." The Kolstad Cannery at Silver ton, also a heavy prune processing plant at one time, may process 100,000 cases, or it may process none this year, L. E. Kolstad, man ager stated. "Prices are so weak we don't know what we will do yet. The question may be if growers will pick them at the $18 to $20 a ton which looks as if it may be all we can pay. Chicago (Oregon's big processed prune market) offered ony $1.65 per dozen on the No. 2V sized cans of the extra fancy, and $1.57 per dozen on the fan cies this week," Kolstad added, explaining this wholesale price "works out at about $20 a ton to the grower." Canners in the Salem area, too, were reluctant to make any state- Jahnny Graber's bi aria is for good reason it soon will be state fair time.

With growers paying 15 cents a box for picking, little fear of in sufficient pickers was felt. Growers and processors (the latter of whom they really would like to take the prunes this year if they "could come out on them financially") hoped that the prune situation might clear a little by the first of the month. No one. however, seemed too optimistic this week. j Improved Males Pick Your Own $1 Box Bring Your Container AT Morion Tompkins On Grand Island Take Wallace Road Brng the Eds and a Lunch Have a Good Time A for COR H 1 We are sIl buying Gren Fir Seed Cones at the Woodaeed Dryer, oa the old highway south of Salem- $1.50 -2.00 - 2.50 Per Sewed (2 bnshel) sack According to quality as Indicated by seed cut Trees 1000 ft elevation and higher should yield good tight cones for another week or xnore. i ! !'
