No official estimate of the north­
west dried prune crop is yet availa­
ble.
Unofficial estmates range
around 60 million pounds. The Cal­
ifornia crop is officially estim.-.ted at
294 million pounds. The coast crop
therefore appears to total just a lit­
tle more than early Bea9on estimates.
European production is expected to
be a little larger than early estimates.
The marketable supplies however,
may not be larger than last year ow­
ing to the small carry-over in the
United States.
The movement does not seem to be
fully satisfactory and there, has been
a tendency toward lower prices. Com­

Pacific northwest prunes. There Í9
a well organized movement in Yugo­
slavia toward standardization of the
prune crop. This is part of a move­
ment to promote better merchandis­
ing of this commodity which is rated
there as an important national as­
set. The Ministry of Agriculture and
other governmental ministries are
lak.ng part in thin work, and compe­
tition from Balkan prunes will un­
doubtedly increase in succeeding
years.

Cal fornia prune interest have de­
cided to do somewhat less advertis­

markets, but instead there will be a
strong “sales promotion” campaign.
This work ¡3 expected to reach 450
cities and will require tho services of
200 salesm :i for eight weeks. Ad­
vertising to supplemnt this work will
be used, and new packages have been
developed to stimulate trade,
With Yugoslavian prun0 interosti

prune interests are feeling the
pressure and considerable discussion
is going on about what to do. It has
been pointed out that the whole
Italian dried prune crop of the Pa­
cific northwest provides the equiva-
■i nt of a few ounces per capita for
the people of the United States. This
point has been raised and seems per-
ti.ient: Why not standardize the out-
mit so that it will meet the approval
of the American trude consumers;
chen cooperate in merchandising
more of the Italian prunes, instead
of exporting the bulk of the crop
n the face of high tariffs, unstable
economic conditions, and increasing
competition.
