PRUNE CHOP HEAVIEST SOUTH Salem Grower Tours State and Finds Best Yield in Southern Counties Thinks It Mistake to Supplant Prunes With Apples. W. C. Tillson, a leading prune grower of Salem, who recently vis ited Medford to inspect orchards and fruit conditions, on a 1000-mile automobile trip through the fruit dis tricts of Oregon in an interview upon bis return comments upon the prune situation in Southern Oregen: "I discovered that the crop in Southern Oregon is much heavier than in the northern section. The area over which primes are grown is much smaller in Southern Oregon than it is here. There prunes are largely grown in the valleys, where there is a rich alluvial soil, and the trees arc large, strong and health'. The prunes there also average some what largor than the prunes in this district. In the northern part, where tho prunes are grown on the uplands, tho soil is materially different. Neglected Orchards. "In the south I found that a good many orchards were dying 'out, some from lack of cultivation and some .from tho fact that they were not lo cated on the proper kind of soil, and in these cases tho owwner might just as well allow them to die off. If tho growers will select suitublo soil and give proper caro to their prunes they must find that this class of fruit raising is highly profitable. "Prune orchards in Southern Or egon are widely scattered, while in the Willamette valley they are more concontraated. In the south I saw only one orchard on tho high laud. This is tho property of Dr. J. M. Uauslmair of Portland and is plant ed at nn elevation of 1000 feet. Tho trees are loadod to the fullest capa city and at that elovation, tho owner says, tho fruit is never injured by frost, and ho has novor lost a crop. This orchard lies ten miles south west of Roseburg. It probably will yield 100,000 pounds this year. Replaced With Apples. "Near Medford I fouud that tho prune orchards have been very gen erally replaced with apple orchards. In fact, they seem to have the applo crazo there. To a largo extent I think this chango is a mistake, but timo will toll as to tho advisability of making this change. I noticed that many hundreds of aorus of new ap plo orchards aro being planted in many sections, but tho now pruuo Roreago Is comnarativoly small. "I should estimate tho pruno crop,"6 rule, will also bo smaller." RECOGNITION BY U. S.JSWANTED Representatives of Madriz Interview ing Acting Secretary of State Wil son Trying to Have Uncle Sam Acknowledge Madriz Faction. WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 13.

STOCKTON, Cal., Aug. 13. C. P. Rcndon, deputy district attorney of San Joaquin county, shot and dau- gorously wounded himself with a le- volvcr today at his home. Reudoti attempted to put the gun in tho pockot of his coat, which was hunir- iug on a hall tree. Tho gun fell and was discharged. this year at 20,000,000 pounds for both Oregon and Washington. Last year tho combined fruit crop of tho two states was 28,000,000 poundd, Washington this year has n very light crop, probably not to exceed 3,000,000 pounds, which will give Oregon a probablo production of 17,000,000 pounds."
