UNITED STATES
Dried pnine production of the Unit
ed State for 11)22 was approximately
ihree hundred million poundo. Cali
fornia producing 225.000,000, Oregon,
60,000.000 and WashliiKton approxi
mately 12,000,000 pounds. The Pa
cific coant states have approximately
a 100 percent monopoly upon the
dried prune production of the United
States, Oregon and Washington com
bined haye approximately 100 percent
monopoly of the. Italian production.
The dried prune production of the
three coiutt states will easily reach the
400,000,000 pound mark Inside of five
years, whlJp that of tho northwest can
be -expected to easily reach the 100,
000,000 pound mark. With the pres
ent consumption of prunes of 1A
pounds per individual the three coast
states produce enough to feed the
American population, and have 135,
000,000 pounds remaining- for export
trade.' Unless we increase the local
consumption of prunes so that tho
average American consumes more
than a pound and a half of prunes, we
will have over 226,000,000 of prunes
for export within five years.
'The acreage of 'prunes should not
bo Increased. Enough new plantings
to maintain tho present acreage are
sufficient for tho time being, even
with tho best concerted action In stan
dardizing grades and packs, publicity
and marketing.
Tho present acreage of Italian
prunes In this state will require ap
proximately 1000 acres of new plant
ings annually to hold its own, figur
ing the average life of a prune tree
approximately 40 years nnd our acre
age approximately 40,000 acres of
both bearing and non-bearing prune
trees. With no additional plantings
wo can figure on a natural shrinkage
of approximately 1000 acres annually.
' Prunes were exported to the follow
ing countries In 1921. Under King
dom 63,000,000 pounds; Germany
29,000,000 pounds; France 21,000.000;
Canada, 1 1,000.000 pounds; Sweden.
6.000.000 pounds; Belgium, 4.000.000
pounds; Netherlands 4,600,000 pounds
Denmark, 4.000,000 pounds; New
Zealand, 1,000,000 pounds; other
countries, 4,000,000 pounds.
It is an accepted fact that tho threo
coast states produce entirely too high
a percent of smaller sizes. The first
steps which should bo taken to de
crease tho small prune would be a
thinning out of tho trees and a rather
severe pruning of our older, moro de
vitalized prune troes. This would na
turally cut down production slightly,
but would cut down tho number of
prunes much more. Increasing the size
of tho prunes produced. Without a
dnubt this would materially increase
tho value of ttie prune crop, as tho
larger sized prunes Invariably outsell
the smaller sizes by a considerable
margin.

SALEM, Ore.. Feb. 26. When the
claims that have been filed in the
present adjudication proceedings are
thrown open to public inspection,
Knea Luper, state engineer, expects
several contests to develop between
large irrigation and power interest
claiming water rights on the Des
chutes river and tributaries.
The claims will be open to inspec
tion beginning February 25 and end
ing April l; according to notice given
by Air. Luper to all water users on the.
stream. Contests may be started with
in fifteen days after the close of the
inspection period.'
The Interests' of many large' con
cerns arc Involved,. It is said. These
include not only, the older power and
irrigation companies that have had
water right claims for many years,
but also many companies that have
filed on rights recently.
Contrary to a prevailing belief, .it
has been found that tho waters of tho
Deschutes, are not', inexhaustible and
tho number of claims, It is said, are
In excess of tho water supply.

By Hazel Bin It Dodcl
It seems hard to realize that tho
samo plant which gives us our ging
ham apron can also provide us with
a wholesome fat, which we can use in
our making of cakes, pies and dough
nuts, in fact n all of our foods where
fat is used.
This versatile plant is tho cotton
plant and cotton is listed as one of
tho most Important food crops in the
country. Cotton seed supplies some
thing moro than a third of all the fat
wo eat, amounting to moro than a
billion pounds a year. We'd be a hun
gry people if it weren't for that cot
ton crop.
When tho seeds aro removed from
tho cotton by tho gin, Eli Whitney's
great invention, they aro covered with
a short cotton fiber. This must bo
scraped off and then the seeds are
cracked so us to get at the kernels,
which are rich in oil.
They are next cooked in great
steam kettles and tho oil pressed out
by huge hydraulic presses. After tho
oil is refined it is hydrogenated to
make a solid fat. Hydrogenated
means thnt hydrogen is added to the
refined cotton seed oil under pressure
and then chilled. This hydrogenated
oil is later used to eslldlfy more of the
oil, which by means of a large beater,
is converted Into a' fat which is white
and creamy. "
Uepeatod experiments for moro
than 20 years havo been made until
now a product is available which is
I always creamy ami reauy 10 use, no
get too hard In cold weather or soft
and mushy in warn; weather.
Tho product is finally sealed In air
tight cans, so that however far we
may be from the cotton fields of the
south we can be assured of a sweet,
fresh fat for our cooking.

"Thank You'
. This acknowledgment of a courtesy or service
is somehow the' satisfactory end of a transaction.
Both parties are pleased and the relations of the
moment, however unimportant, are more hap
pily closed. '..;..'
There is no occasion when an effort made for
the-comfort or convenience of others is not
worth a "thank you.''
In the daily routine of telephone operations,
where the saving of time is the great considera
tion, the opportunity of expressing an apprecia
tion of a service rendered seldom arises.
But rernember that the' telephone operator is
human: Courtesy to her means more cheerful
ness in her work.-. It will be reflected in your
own self-satisfaction.
