MOLD UN TO YOUR PRUNHS.
Advice Given to flrowers by ex-ConiniU-aloner
Rc)nold.
Salem "Prunogroworo who hnvo
not already sold their fiult should hold
It for iv prlco thnt will glvo them a fair
profit," says I.loyd T, Heynolds, for
merly horticultural commissioner for
tho second district.
"Dealers nro around offering lo pay
a basis prlco of 14 cents. Probably a
mnjorlty of tho pruno crop this yenr
will average In tho GO-GO to-tlio-pound
size, and at this basis growers would
get only 3 cents n pound for their fruit.
Since tho cost of labor and fuel hns
advanced, 3 cents a pound Is about the
actual cost of production. Growers aro
cutting their own throats when they
sell at such figures.
"Tho condition of tho fruit market
does not warrant such low prices.
Frnnce had a very short crop and Is
buying prunes heavily In this country
Tho dispatches front Now York tell is
thnt tho packing houses In this country
hnvo had dlQlculty In filling tho ordera
ns fast as they nro received. The
applo crop of tho United States Is t,000.-
000 barrels short and prices for that
fruit will bo high. Canned goods hnvo
advanced very materially. In every
view of tho situation I enn seo no ron-
on why prunogrowers should not re
colvo n fair prlco, If thoy will ask for
It.
"It seems to mo to ho certain that
all tho prunes will bo wanted nnd tht
proper courso for the growers Is to
wait until a living price Is offered. I
do not ndvlso holding for speculative
prices, but for n living prlco. Oregon
prunes this year aro of first-class quali
ty and they glvo satisfaction wherever
sold.
