PAGE SIX are very noor and only 4!il,uoo du With nrune drying In this sec Hon practically over the buying market is active here, although the MRtcrn market In SHU rainei quiet. However, from Indications, with the crop shorter than origin' oily estimated and buyers scurry. Ing around there seems every like llhuod that all of the prunes around hero will be sold by grow era at good prices ana in unori or ler. - The crop Is running strong to 30s, in fact with the italiuns the within a range of 10 points, mom ly from 35 to 40 and houio prunes are drvlnir out nfl high ufi nnnmlH tu a bushel, tho average runninir about 20 pound, Forties irA reuorted to bo short. The average prices being paid to growers for Italiuns run around about as follows: OH for 30-35, 8ft for SSfiMO, 7 for 40-4!iH and 8li for 45W503. Even bettor prices are being paid for some choice lots and petiti3 run about a nnu or three garters -of a cent a pound A number of pack era have stuff ordered to go out on certain boats and this is making present ouying exceedingly active, accoruint? m word coming in from tho orchards, It Is considered likely that the bulk of Oregon prunes this year will bo sold directly Into domestic markets, although Home have been bought for export, but tho expor business will not size up, even pro portionately, to anything like that enjoyed last year when Germany absorbed great quantities or Amor lean prunes. In drying thlsN year a peculiar condition existed In that tho early Btuff dried out as well as the hit er stuff, which Is an unusual sit uation. There are practically no scabby crimes observable nnd quality pre vails In the present crop. with prunes running to a very heavy ugar content. It Is considered too early yet to plve any definite Idea as to the exact total of this year's crop In this section, although growers are reducing their Ideas quite mater tally. This, however. Is an axiom Uiat growers reduce their ideas on a light crop, after drying, and In erense their ideas In a heavy crop rear. Canners were very active this year In buying green prunes ami great quantities of them went to tho canneries at a price averaging around $40 a ton. F! HOP CROP IN W. H. and IT. I,eMy. English hn brokers, In bluing nn nnnual circular to the trade covering the hop sltunltnn in Kngmnu declare a full average will be picked nl though some yards were hard hit by heat In midsummer. The circular says: We have made nn extensive In s pert Ion of all the hop-growing dls trlcts, and we nro in the opinion that, with the Improvement which has taken place during tho last few weeks there will be a full av era go crop of fine hops picked The hop plant In the early pnrt of the weapon was visited by a severe attack of aphis, but, by the up to date methods of washing and pnw derlng, this was mastered before any serious damage was done, and wo feel confident that the crop a a wholo will be of excellent qunl- lly, very sound and clean. Th Holding hops enjoyed the spell of hot weather and are In splendid condition. But many of the gur (lens n the Weald nnd Sussex fiuf fered considerably from the great heat of the latter part of June and July; the rains rame In time, h ever, to be of value to the plant. Worcester and Hereford yards arc very various; some gardens pro durini; a full average, others very light, which also applies to Furrcy and Hampshire, hut all have bene fitted by the rains. The general run of the bine Is on (he flight Idc, nnd therefore the cones nrr of splendid development, having had the full benefit of the sun We nro pleased to say that there Is a grndual Increase In the bar- re la ge taking place, but the pre sent output does not warrant an Increase in tho acreage of hops The hop control expired on the istn or August, nnd it must ho very ratifying to all growers to know that t lie government have recog nixed the needs of Hie Industry by placing a 4 pound per cwt. duty on all Imported hots, giving a preference of one third to our eol onles. This should be eventually Of great benefit to the Kngllsh growers, as It will prevent cheap foreign hops being dumped on our market. A big elTort Is being mnde to form a company for the co operative selling of the Kngttsh hop crop. This scheme met with our greatest support from Its fir' suggestion nnd we feel sure that It M In the Interests of every grow er to Join; It Is meeting with very great support from all districts, and we are confident thnt suf ficient acreago will be obtained. 1925 PEAR CROP IN OREGON GAINS The ponr crop of the VnMl BibIm l now rorecnm m m.uii.uuu buahel. compnre.1 with 18,38,00 In 1024; 17,84!i,OOU In 11)2.1, and 20,- 706, UUO in Jif. mu Ittiovnnv ....

E PRINTS STEADY Portland, Sept. 21 Although there Is mill a dearth o! cream in this market, prospects of an ad vanco In print prices are very re mote. This Ifl tho general opinion expressed by local butter makers this morning. While it is true tnat production is very low and cream erics running far under their nor mal capacity, the range between fat prices and what tney are actu ally getting tor prints, la so great that little or no profit can be made. Some of the creamery trade le openly complaining about fat prices as high as fi&c and 65c In this market while prints sell around 52 u to &3c. They go fur ther and stale ns long as this con dition ex there will be no fur ther Increase In print price. liutteiTat ll a.s been nigh all sea son and dairymen have come Into their own. With production hard ly sufficient to meet this market's requirements, tho dairymen have enjoyed top prices, quite a change from a year or so ago when high feed prices an.l tow cream bids hit the dairymen hard.

S., Salmon, an English expert, who has been conducting extensive trials in England with new varieties of hops has issued a bulletin covering the various trials made, and the bulletin contains a summary of the experiments as ful lows: 1. Of the one hundred and eleven varieties tested, no less than twenty-nine cropped at the rate of over 30 cwt. to the acre. Of the early varieties, the three heaviest cropping were the new varieties 1,53 with 3-1 cwt., and L21 and 458 with cwt.; the highest commercial variety, the Uramllng, was tenth on the list, with 26 cwt. Of tho mldseason hops, tho Aintnon was top. with 37 14 cwt followed by the new variety L40 with 36 cwt. Of the late hops, tho new varieties OH8 nnd OG1 crop ped at the rate of 3 cwt. and 34 Mi cwt. respectively, followed by the Colgate, with 33 cwt. 2. Hops "weighed lighter" In 1924 than In 1923. The number or bushels (Imperial) of green hops required to tho cwt. of dried hops varied in the new varieties from 78 to 137, and in the com merclal varieties from 92 to 132. 3. In all the classes (early, mid season, nnd late) certain new seed ling varieties were preferred by the judges I any of the commercial varieties. 4. Except in the class of earlv hops, many of the new seedling va rieties produced a higher Dei-cent age of both soft and total resins man tne commercial varieties test ed. 6. One new variety, viz.. OK3S produced 20.53 per cent total osliiB and 12.22 per cent soft resins, an Increase of 0.8C and 0.87 per cent respectively, over the rich est American hop tested, and of d.j ami J. SO per cent respective ly, over tho richest English com mercial variety tested. 6. A somewhat severe outbreak of tho "mosaic" disease occurred during 1924. the number of hills affected being 13.2 per cent In the commercial varieties, and 1.9 per eni in ine now varieties. Manv of iut! new varieties, nnu the com mercial variety Kuggle.s, have prov u io DC completely resistant to this disease. 7. In common with other tmr- dens and nurseries In Kent, those u ine research station experienced visitation of the "Uownv Mil- lew" of tho hop.

E DRIED FRUIIS GET UNDER WAY Dried fruit shipping is especial ly active Just now and new crop goods are going forward In volume in most of the varieties at this time, says the California Fruit News. Drying weather lias not been ns satisfactory throughout California as would be liked, as It has been too cool In many sections. We have been visited by some early showers nnd growers have had to stack couple of times during the last week In nearly all the districts, Tills also retards drying, although no material damage has been done by the rainfall, which has been light and of short duration. In western Oregon nnd Washington, however, they have had some heavy rains during the recent pn.it and some Interference with prune drying has been experienced there, We do not know at thi writing just how much damage has been done. But in view of their very snort prune crop there already, It ia to be hoped that there will be no material loss of tonnage. mere Is not a ereat deal of new business doing in California just at tho moment in dried fruits, the main concern of operators, here now being In shipping out previ ously bought goods, in tho mean time, values are, in the main, un changed.
