Seventy two acres of land with load ed prune trees at close intervals, literally thousands of them, bending beneath the weight of their silver- blue fruit; it is worth making a special effort to look at. Prunes by the wagon load are scattered on the thoroughly cultivated ground and a force of young people have been working for two weeks with out making much of an impression on the supply. By the middle of this week, forty thousand pounds of prunes had been dried and it is hard to tell by look ing at the orchard that any have been taken therefrom. The crop in FT 1 001 30n U I 1 n ...

Everybody's help is needed. Will you do your best by buying all the bonds you can. This space dedicated to those brave boys who have made the extreme sacrifice as well as those who will in the future, by R. J. EVANS this orchard last year was a big one but will be twice as large this year. Barring accident the orchard will yield this year over 150,000 pounds of prunes. The drier on the place which was enlarged last year is just about half large enough to handle the crop this year and another will have to be built in the future. There are something like thirty men, women and boys and girls working in the orchard and drier and as fast as each tray can make its thirty six hour trip through the drier it is loaded for another trip. The prunes are automatically washed in warm and cold water before going onto the trays. Cleanliness is the order of the day in this orchard and its product is of the best grade.- Walter Scott of the ship industry in Portland spent the week end in Monmouth. Mrs. J. L.
