Salem— A new era in tbe prune bust ness o f the W illam ette valley was ush ered in, when the independent prune pool, repraeonting about 2.000,000 pounds o f fruit, practically decided to accept a proposition from the Earl Fruit company, o f San Francisco, for about 30 car loads o f green prunes, to be picked and shipped to tbe Eastern markets a t once. The price offered la 40 cents per crate o f 24 pounds, the prunes to be accepted end paid fo r at this rate before leaving Salem. The growers are told they w ill also g e t all that the prunes bring in the market over and above this figure. Each car w ill hold 12 ton*. The Eastern Washington and Idaho crop baa been sold green fo r several years. Last year the output o f that section was 1.600 tons. This year there le a light crop, amounting tp only about 360 ton», and the dealers in gneen fruits are seeking to make up the de ficiency by buying Oregon’s Italian prunes, which are admitted to-be better then either the California or Washing ton products. Last year the growers o f Washington and Idaho realised 30 cents per crate o f 24 pounds, or about 80 cents per bushel, fo r their green prunes, which the Salem growers con sider mors profitable than selling the dried fm iL Leading growers state that SO cars can be picked from tbe orchards o f tbe members o f the pool at this tim e and not decrease the output o f dried fru it to any ex ten L as tbe prunes that re main w ill attain a much larger growth than i f none were removed!

I t was argued that Hood R iver wa* the logical piece fo r the reason that the W illam ette valley now contains the state institution at Eugene, the agri cultural college at Corvallis, and de nominational schools at Forest Gfeve, Newberg, Philomath and Salem.

The damage to the irrigation company w ill amount to $8,000. A force o f men was put to work a t once to repair the break, but it is feared water w ill be shut off fo r at least ten days, and as tbe farmers are much in need o f water these warm days the loss w ill be extensive.

Washington . . . . $2.6108.67 C a lifo r n ia ......................... 1.6002.61 A s to tbe possibilities o f the exten sion o f the apple trade with Germany, the report shows that in 1908 Germany imported 164,421 tons o f apples, o f whioh the United States supplied only 10,602 tone; in 1907 Germany import ed 181,467 tons, the U nitor States sending 9,229 tons. Germany enforces rigidly inspection fo r the San Jose seals, and this past bas been found on a number o f ship ments from tbe Pacific coasL Mr. Skinner says, however, that as a rule American apples reach Germany in good condition. He urges that cafe be exercised by all apple shippers to free their orchards from scale and all otter paste, and then exercise constant super vision o f their employee to insure that the fru it shall be packed so as to make it pleasing to tbe eye aa w ell as protect it against bruising while being trans ported. Hamburg is tbe great apple receiv ing port. T h en , writes ths consul, honest and impartial rules o f sale are observed and tbe seller always receives what is his due, tbe market regulations and government inspection having been developed in a manner to make It cer tain that always there shall be no crooked work or unjust rejection o f shipments. German fru it buyers have for years been sending their representatives to America to look pver orchards and packing bouses, and keep informed on the conditions o f the industry in all important localities where considerable Quantities o f fru it are produced. These agents often go without making known tbeir identity, and thus obtain inform mation which might otherwise to harder toaeeure. Tbe report ofConsul General Skinner agrees with previous reports which have been sent to the government from abroad— that Pacific coast applaa now lead this country in all European marts. I t likewise emphasizes the asity o f maintaining tbe present high standard, in order that the high prices now obtained may be main tained and the apple industry rasp tbe large profit which baa teen made in the past yea n . C R O P A RE C O RD B R E A K eR . Prospects in Pacific Northwest Never Batter Than N ow . According to information received during tbe past week tbe Pacific Northwest w ill produce almost four times aa many ears o f potatoes aa a year ago. This increase is startling, even though tbe comparison with the pro duction o f s year ago is not exactly a correct showing, fo r tbe 1908 crop was just about half o f what was produced tbe previous season. During the present season the acre age o f potatoes in tbe Pacific North wesL but more especially in Oregon, shows tbe greatest increase fo r one year ever noted here. W hile a large pgr cent o f this increase wai in the Willamette valley, moat o f tbe addi tional acreage waa planted in Eastern Oregon. Eastern Washington and Idaho like wise have a very heavy potato acreage increase and the production there w ill be much greater than during any pre vious year. Western Washington bed a greater acreage o f potatoes than year ago, but tbe difference in favor of this season is not g n a t so fa r as the additional planting is concerned Potato crop prospects could scarcely be improved over what they are in Oregon, Washington and Idaho this ■son, and ths asms is stated to be the case in California. In Eastern Oregon, where some o f tbe poorest showings were made in grata produc tion this season, the crop o f ] potatoes never looked better. In tbe W illam ette valley, potatoes w ill show bettor quality this year than ever before and the sises w ill be just that which gained fo r this section tbe reputation o f growing the * very best potatoes in the entire United States. In seasons previous to tbe present one, the potato acreage and production o f Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho had little, i f anything, to do with priest at Portland or San Fran cisco, but this season each o f tbsas sections w ill be a strong factor in tbe market and unless all signa fa il prices w ill reach a lower figura than for NEW RAILROAD WAR Harrlmn it H in Ad ln Oppo sition Along Deschutes.
