Banner Prune Crop Being Gathered
As one of the big institutions of
Monmouth, citizens of this city will
find it worth their while to visit
the Monmouth Prune Orchard and
see the work in progress there.
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

do not realize the greatness of this war or appreciate the principles
involved. A few would let "George" do it; while others fool them
selves into thinking the war is almost over. Everybody's help is

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.-
