The latt issue of the Rural North
west, published at Portland by H. M.
Williamson, has an editorial on tie
prospective prune crop of tho l'aoillo
Northwest tor the current year. He
says'every indication points to a much
' .... .i .
larger amount oi prunes mis bcosou
than lii'l&3 and 1891'. Writlng'of Hal-
Ian prunes he, says: "It is a well
known fact that by far the greater por
tion of the prunes growing In Western
Oregon and Washington are Italian.
The only counties which bad even a
fair crop of Italian prunes last year
were Douglas in Oregon and Clark In
Washington. In Marlon county, Ore
gon .there were no Italian prunes last
year. Marion county has about 8600
acres' of prune orchards of which 860
acres are of bearing age, 6 years old or
older. At least three-fourths of the
trees aro Italians. It is wholly within
the bounds of probability that the out
put of cured prunes In Marlon county
this year will be between one and two
million pounds. Yamhill is another
groat prune county whioh fared badly
last year, with the exception of a few
favored localities. It has over 30C0
acres of prune orohards, of which 700
acres are 6 years old or older. Yamhill
county also is likely to turn out be
tween 'one million and two million
pounbs of cured prunes. It would not
b'o 'surprising indeed, If Marlon and
Yamblll would each turn out over two
million pounds of cured prunes this
yoar. Douglas county, which has
turned out about 000,000 pounds of
cured prunes, has thls-year about 1,100
aores of prune orchards, 6 years old or
older, and will In all probability keep
in the lead in the volume of its prune
crop. Claukamas has about 6000 acres
of pruno orchards of bearing age; Lane
oounty about 400; Benton, 360; Polk,
250; Wasco, 200; Jackson, 200; Wash
ington, 160; Union, 100; and Joseph
ine, Columbia, Lincoln, Coos, and
Curry, about 160 acres In the aggre
gate There are, lu all, over 0,000
aores.of pruno.orchards of bearing age
in Oregon. There aro also, several
thousand acres of four-year-old prune
orohards, not Included above, but
which will materially add to the total
output of fruit. A good crop will this
year mean, therefore; an output of from
0,000,000 to 10,000,000 pounds of cured
prunoi In Oregon.

The llonie Dilry Product.
The problem, wh it to do with Ihe
surplus home dairy product Is a vital
one to the farmer. The best dairy
butter from large Jereey dairies Is sel
ling at 15 to 20 cents per pound. A
movement to estibllsh local cheese
factories Is getting quite a Icothold
among Marlon county farmers and It
seems the most plausible way to work
offtholargellwof milk during tlie
big grass months. The cheese could be
put on the market during tne summer
and fall and It Ib certainly a more ra
tional wav of dIsDOIng of the cow pro
duct than to make It up Into butter at
thepresent high competition and con
sequent low prices. A dairy meeting
Is to bo held at our old frfetid Crans
ton's place at Wlllard next Friday to
dlflcuis the situation.
The attention given by tho Tacoma
Ledger to the creamery business In
Washington has brought out the fact
that a great deal of unwholesome east
ern butter Is being brought Into that
state and sold at very low prices.
There Is not much doubt that it is
often represented to bo Washington
creamery buttsr, which It Is not.
The local creameries cannot sell
their product at the price at which
this stuff Is oOered. They need to do
so, if tho demand for their goods
among careful buyers Is sufficient to
keep the price above the proflt-making
point. The reason why the cheaper
stud la offered at lowor figures is prob
ably because it could not be sold at any
price in the place where It is made. It
Is brought here to the coast, where It)
history cannot be known, worked over
and colored a little, perhaps, and' sold
to tho unwary ,"who are not too careful
ofiheir health, and of that of their
families.
Their Is every reason why those who
desire to patronize homo products,
should buy only Oregon made butter.
Thero Is even one more, and the strong
est reasou of them all, and that is that
it is certainly clean and wholesome.
It Is made In dairies and creameries
close by, while moat of the Imported
Is not, not oven In churns. Home
product butter has the home trade
mark on it. It is cheaper to buy it
even at the higher price naked since it
Is full weight, will go farther and
there w ill be no doctor's bill to pay
on account of eating It.
It is probable that one-half the
grocers in Salem and all tho towns of
western Oregon sell moro or less of the
factory grease that is put up In large
cities from the refuse of tho big butter
murkets and the product of the slaug
tor house. Only a small part of the
eoneumers aro discriminating buyers.
The people muat be educated to Insist
on having fresh butter at tho store
when they pay for It. That Is natural
color, natural flavor and properly
worked pure product of cream aud
need not be over a week old. Only
dairy shows aud tho columus of the
press can educate the people to deniand
that sort of butter and then one-half
will never learn. Hut enough will
learn so that thoy will itislst ou having
butter and not stulo grease compounds
on their tables. Those who know
fresh butter whon thoy see It cannot
always get It.
