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

Leading growers state that SO cars

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

much in need o f water these warm days
the loss w ill be extensive.

Any Other State.
Consul General Robert P. Skinner,
w riting from Hamburg, Germany, da-
te ilrfa e ts relating to the apple indus
try o f this country as reflected in ths
prices reoeived there, and shows that
Oregon and Washington apples bring
mors than those front any o tte r states,
the scale being in comparison with the
California product as follow s:
State
Per 1-buahel case
Oregon. 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 .

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
