NEW CROP PRUNES
ACTIVE; MARKET
FIRM AND STRONG
New crop prunes have very ac
tively moved under the salea ar
rangement between the Prune as-
aocJation and tne commercial phck
era and this market la very firm
at present values, Bays the Call
fornla Fruit News.
Eastern markets took hold very
actively an well a some of the for
eign markets, and values seem to
have attracted good buying intor
est. A material proportion of as-
eoclation r-jiinm hna been sold, but
the latter i still in the market and
quoting new crop at the name
Di'iccs us at opening. Commercial
Backers have, however, largely sold
out their association allotments
and are now buying and selling
against prunes of growers outside
of the association, but at the same
level of values, and are quoting the
en me prices as before, and the
nine as the association. Indepen
dent growers are selling a little
more freely just now. Packers
have advanced their prices on 20
SOs. Ohl nr lines are unchanged and
there are very few ei.ea left to
lell.
The Oregon crop prospect at
nroHdiit Is for a maximum prune
production of 2 ft, 000,000 pounds, of
which 3,oou,ouu pounds, win w
petites and 22,000,000 Italians.
This means with the very small un
Bold holdings and the small quan
tity of old that has been sold but
which la not yet shipped, a total of
about one-third of the tonnage of
prunes concerned there a year ago,
Including tho 3024 crop and the
carryover from the preceding sou
ion into that crop. Growers are
holding back selling their prunes
n Oregon, expecting belter prices,
but this seems unlikely at present
Dwing to tho prices in California.
" While the Oregon crop is very
small, prunes there can not he
lold based upon the great shortage
In Oregon, an they are confronted
With tho comparative values of
prunes In California and Kurope.
The total world supply of prunes
la not, of course, so short as Is the
Oregon crop, and the growers there
Kill consequently not get the value
for their local situation. In south
ern Oregon many of the growers
lire forming pools and will sell to
Hie highest bidder. Some of those,
we u nd erst an I, may be sold next
week.
The California Prune and Aprl
eot Orowera association reports n
particularly good business not only
being done in its two-pound carton
but a good deal of attention being
attracted to the now one-pound i
tarton of largo fruit, which Is a
blend of 30-40 and 40-S0s. and,
both carton, packages have been In

anout roaciy to get under head
I ho Independence section Is one
of the great hop producing sections
or the world, und when the season
looms the town becomes the center
of Intense activity.
Discussing the plans at various
yarda In the vicinity and prospects
ior a crop tins year, the independ
ence Enterprise In its latest issue
muv:
Tho crop this year in the Inde
pendence territory will average
well, according to present Indica
tions. There will be eome notably
heavy yields In tho cluster yards,
especially is this true v here there
has been some irrigation. In the
district there will probably bo n
normal yield In spite of the un
usual stretch of dry weather. Due
to the excellent quality of the eoil.
and intensive cultivation, hops
wiin.siami a drought much better
than mont other crops.
Harvesting of early hops was
started last Friday at the John
Titus yard and Is moving along
satisfactorily. Tho Cooper yard on
the east side of the river ' started
picking Monday; V. M. DeOoster
and W. V. Acocks got underway
yesterday and others are about
ready to begin operations in the
fuggle fields. Some, however, will
wait until the first of next week
in order to avoid the interruption
between tho early and lato hops.
Wlgrlcli Itimcli
With a most excellent cron. nick
ing will be started at the Wigrich
next Tuesday. Major W. Lewis
Hose, the manager, announces that
he has everything In readiness for
tho harvest. Unusual quality is
the Indication at the present time,
und this is contingent only on enre
in picking.
There are to ije some changes at
tho Wigrich this season. K O. Par
ker, former chief of police of In
dependence, and Andy Tupper of
Albany, who also at one time was
ai tne nead of the police- depart
ment here, are to serve in the ca
pacity of peace officers at tho
ranen, assuming their duties todav.
There is to bo no public dancing
at tho Wigrich this season, is the
announcement.
Miss Plant will again conduct
the store and the City meat mar
ket of Independence will operate
a branch market, and Mr. l'nrgo
of Kalem will operate the restau
rant. There Is to be a nursery In
charge of a competent woman nnd
other provisions are being made
or the welfare and comfort of -the
pickers.
The Wigrich has more than 400
acres of hops, with clusters pre
dominating largely, picking of
which will shirt about September
5. It is expected that thero will be
little or no dehiy between the fin
ishing of tho early picking and the
starting of work on the late hops.
Horst Preparations.
The M. Clemens llorst company
has preparations practically com
pleted for its organization for the
picking season. The comp.my Is
making extensive preparations and
will feature many activities. Mar

hop crop this year a heavy yield
and fine quality. The company has
been using Irrigation more exten
sively Hits year than ever before,

time, using both steam and gaso

MONDAY,
BE ON GUARD SAYS
FUNDAMENTALIST
San Francisco, Cal. Young peo
ple who attended the convention
hero of the W'ulther league were
urged in an address by tho Hev.
J. W. Behnken, vice-president of
the Texas district "to be on guard
when modernists undertake to
praise Jesus Christ, because the
Bible speaks in very pluin and
positive language."
"When modernists begin to use
words of- praise about the Kible,
about Christ, about tiny scriptural
doctrine, we had better beware,"
he said. "You know that tiie soTt
cattipaw conceals sharp claw?.
When the paw of modernism is
subjected to careful examination,
it reveals the horrible claws of the
denial of the inspiration of the
Bible, of Christ's dioty, of the
glorious work of our substitute, of
His bodily resurrection und in f:ut
of everything which is dear to a
true child ot God."
