"At the present time his company has stored in the packing house in North Roseburg 2,500,00'J pounds of the fruit, some of which is already packed ready for while a great deal is being processed as rapidly as the 86 employes engaged there can handle the business. This com pauy also conducts a packing plant it Myrtle Creek, and has there at the nre- ent something like 800,000 pounds of prunes either packed or being prepared for packing. This is about 200,000 pounds short of the business handled at tne latter plant last Reason, as delivered at the warehouse. More than this, where buyers contract for punch, they are always ready to ad vance, money on the crop if it is need ed. No other fruit grown in this section enj ys this distinction. There is no wait ing for the commission merchant in the eastern cities to turn the consignment, and no uncertainty. Prunes are cash, always, and this feature of the busi ness is a great incentive for orchard- ists to pin their fait to the product. Of the total 65 cars which the Drager people will probably ship from Douglas county, 16 have already gone forward to aestinations. Mr. Robert Gile, of the H. S. Gile Co., who pack the Beaver brand of prunes, and which has found great favor with consumers both east and abroad states tnat his company will handle 2,000,000 pounds of Douglas county pruues this season.

The county agent has collected such data as is applicable to Marion county and is available in so short a time. We find that ninety per cent of tho fanners in the county are interested n the use of limo, forty percent are interested to the extent of using it if it can be obtained at a suitable price. Many are already buying lime at pric es ranging from $4.75 to $15 per ton- This in view of tho fact that in Ma rion county, we do not know how much lime is needed per acre, we do not now what soils will respond sufficient to tno use of lime to make it worth while and what ig more important we do not know how much wo can afford to pay and gtill obtain a profit on our jnvcsimeni. The following quotations from out side sources will serve to show the standing of this question in the state. S. B. Hall, county agent for Multno mah county, states, "Our extensive trials of last year which have extend ed over this year have given results to justify the present jirice only in one community. In some sections of tho county practically no results were ob tained while in other soils very slight results were secured." Professor H. I). Scudder, chief of the division of tho soils in farm management, states, "Of course as soon as the state operated plant is producing the goods, which we , hope will be early in the spring, tho ' ground limestone should bo obtained at a considerably cheaper rate we hope. hence the use of agricultural limo at this time should be more in tho way of trials .to prepare for the day when ' cheaper lime will bo available. CBr tainly it would be worth while it seems to me for you to plan a number of demonstrations on half acre or acre strips on representative farms in your county for the coming year." Profes sor A. B. Cordely, dean and director of the experiment station, states, that while he hopes the state limo board will bo able to get its plant in opera tion shortly after the first of the year, he is inclined to believe that it wiil not be able to supply all the demand for some time. Those communities interested in tho use of lime would do well to ect to gether and with tho county agent, plan out a definite systematic program in ' connection with the use of lime. f: R.

The French prune, however, is not usually a success in this locality, and only a few are raised in the county to the south, although it is staple in California, where it takes pre cedent over the Italian and petite. The Gile people employ 35 people at the riant in Roseburg, their pay roll in this city totallying $300 weekly at present. They have so far shipped about six cars to eastern markets, but Mr. Gile expects that his company will ship altogeter this season about 55 cars. OSEQON MANTJFACTCBSBS TO ADVERTISE. (Roseburg Review) When about 100 Oregon manufactur ers assembled at a dinner in Portland Monday night it was very plainly shown thnt te way to sell Oregon-made goods is to advertise. This was done by Frank Sherwood, a furniture dealer from Rain ier. He said the Oregon dealers prefer th) made-in-Oregon goods but they must sell what the public demands. In illus tration of this he stated: When my partner and mvself start ed in busines at Rainier we stocked ud with Made-in-Oregon goods. Among them were some ranges. But I couldn't sell those stoves. Customers would come in and ask if I had such and such a range. 'No,' I would say, 'but we have an Oregon-made range that is" superior' and it was too. " 'I want the other range' would answer the buyer. 'I've been reading; about it now for some time.' "Now, gentlemen, we found that wo were up against something very real. So we bought out our competitor and -since then have been giving the publio what it wants, which are the advertised f ads. The trouble is that the people don't know your goods. You must ad vertise. When I started in business "70 per cent of our stock was of Oregon mauuiaciure. iow we carry scarcely 30 per cent. 'My experience has been tho experience of every other small town, dealer. We want to sell your goods. We like them, but we cann"t until yon get behind us with advertising. The public, remember, doesn't buy for sentimental reasons. It buys what it considers tho best, and in these days the way to show them is to advertise." That Sherwood's statement fell on fertile ground was indicated by the ap plause he received, coupled with the general trend of remarks made by var ious speakers of the evening. The gen eral opinion expressec was that Oregon -manufacturers stand a good chance of capturing their home markets and that the present is the opportune time to striKe out and win. That this idea is becoming more and more generally accepted, is shown by the fact that several prominent manu facturers of Oregon a few weeks ago began advertising their wares m The Review and a number of other live pa pers throughout the state. It has been learned that people demand the goods they read about and become familiar with. Hence advertising regularly be comes all the more effective and profit able to the manufacturer and dealer. It is also noticeable that they nse papers giving 100 per cent publicity to get tha best resuljs.
