M. fionsmao called at the Conrier office Monday to ascertain what the Grants Pass Fioit Growers Union ooald do in regard to handling ',. bis crop of prnnes of which be has fine crop on the ISO trees be has on his farm on Ball creek, a small tribu tary to the Applegate, three miles above Wilderfille. As canned fruit and cold storage green frnit is so . plentiful and cheap , all oyer the f country tl)6 demand or dried fruit ' -1 ba. almost oeased and the Eastern dealers are only offering to 3 cents per pound Jfor this season's prune ' crop. As Rogue Hirer apples, pears, peaches and grapes are in sooh de mand that good prloes can always be J bud, It will lead to the few remaining prune orchards being dog np and the land planted to more profitable fruit trees. Mr. Bousman gave vetch a trial this season. He sowd an acre early last lall to vetch andats and he harvested nearly five tons of bay from the land. He thinks it is the forage plant for land, a rotation crop or for land too dry for good orops of alfalfa.
