MEDFORD, OlMXiOX, FIJI DAY, OCTOBER 7, 1921 NO. 170 SWEETEST DAY OF ALLTHE YEAR . "The Sweetest Day of the Year" is tomorrow, Saturday. It Is an ideal day for everybody from the kiddies to the grown-ups, and it is to be hoped no one will be slighted. Although we have numerous na tional holidays, there are none that have the peculiar appeal of Candy Day. Most of them have a political, relig ious or sentimental background and practically all of them are specific rather than general In their purpose. Candy Day, on the other hand. Is to be everybody's day and for that purpose, no less than because it- is tu be observed by gifts of candy, it has been designated "The Sweetest Day of the Year." It is proposed to set k apart .".s the one great day on which no member of the family shall be for gotten. Everybody likes candy. The tired housewife brightens into a flash of half forgotten youthfulness when hubby hands her a box of candy pos sibly the first he has remembered to bring her In months. The sweetheart expects it. The children grow frantic In their appreciation of it. Father him self is by no means immune from the hunger of a "sweettooth." Everybody likes it, and everybody Is pleased with the loving rememberance the gift im plies. It involves not extravagance. Candy Is an inexpensive gift. Candy Day will work no hardship on even a slender purse. It will spread rejoicing broad cast; for its observance will become a ritual of love and good will justifying the appellation already bestowed upon it, "The Sweetest Day of the Year," tomorrow.

The South ern Oregon Experiment Station now has fruiting a very large and improved Petite or French prune which should be seen by everyone interested in this fruit. The prune growers of this val ley and also the experiment station have found that the French prune is tho most productive of all prunes in the Rogue River valley. The only ob jection to the standard type of this variety Is its small size. For this rea son prune growers have been hoping that an improved or larger type of this prune would be produced. In February, 1911, Prof. Reimer vis ited tho prune district around Sarato ga, California, and found that a single branch had appeared on a normal French prune which bore fruit twice as large as tho remainder of the tree and the surrounding trees. Scions of this new type were procured and graft ed into a standard prune tree at the Experiment Station near Talent. Those have now produced three crops, and every year the fruit on this new type has boon twice as large as (he fruit on the reinaiuder of the tree. This is just what the prune growers have been looking for ever since the famous French prune was first Intro duced many years ago. It marks a new epoch in the prune industry of Oregon and the Pacific coast. This new type is as large as the Italian jprune and far more productive and much sweeter than that variety.
