PRUflE INDUSTRY HAS
BEEN.U1QUALWAR
Growers Are Now Beginning
To Realize Profits from
Long Period Oi Wailing.
To get a definte idea of what it
means to bo "full of prunes" and
whether it is" a desirable condition or
not, you have only to hitch up a Ford
aud drive out over the Jefferson and
Liberty roads along with Fruit Inspec
tor Van Trump, and have a talk with
some of the old-timers who have been
fighting the climate, the pests and the
devil ever since the days of "Coxey's
Army."
It's a beautiful thing to contemplate
from a Ford the endless, undulatine
areas of prune orchards, runnnn away
to the horizon on both sides, n as no
equal anywhere except in the orange
peit ot California. It looks good even
in tho bareness of wintor, for the slopes
arc generally cultivated like an onion
bed and the trees in good condition.
The first idea that strikes the uninitia
ted is that everybody ought to be get
ting rich in the prune belt of the Wil
lamette Valley. Are theyf Well they
made a good start last year, and they
are well on the way for tho future.
The reporter picked up g::ded yarns
about orchards that netted $150 an acre
and they sounded authentic. But get
ting down to reminiscences of the early
" nineties, " it developed that the prune
industry in tho valley had made a rec
ord of tragedies that would mako angels
weep. It i8 the old story of men who
jumped into a prune orchards without
a glimmer of knowledge r experience,
expecting the prunes w pav tne back
installments on the contract; of men
who set trees in the worst possible lo
cations, with their roots in shalo; of
pests that were not contested; of mur
ketlcss markets and lack of organiza
tion and primitive methods.
- Has Been Hard Fight.
I It has been a hard fitfht acainst-odds.
with only a gambler's chance at the end
of the season; but let us assume that
this is largely a condition of tho past.
Tho growers are now in the best posi
tion in their history; hundreds of acres
of new orchards are coming into bear
ing; they have learned something from
bitter experience; they are developing
a semblance of class-consciousness and
looking toward co-operation. Along
with this, Inspector Van Trump notes a
disposition to '-conio awake " in tho
matter of fighting pests, which are be
coming a greater menace every season.
In tho past, the shiftlessness on tho part
of orchardists, especially with the applo
and poach growers, hus only been equal
led by the Tennessee mountain whitos.
Another encouraging feature' is the di
versifying of orchards with walnut and
cherries', for even iu this prune para-
i diso, experience has proved the reck
i Icssness of tying up an entire ranch and
all available assets in one commodity.
The inspector pointed out a number of
growers who were farsighted enough 12
,yearj aKo to intersperse their prune
trees with walnuts, and today they are
beginning to realise dividends on them
with a minimum of labor.
Premier Clemenceau until 5:30. Thon
the prosidont, acompanied by Mrs. Wil
son, called on Prosidont and Madame
iPoincare, after which they returned to
their residence for dinner.
.Great crowds gathered outside the
Crillon before Wilson's arrival. They
"cheered, him when he entered, then
waited patiently until he emerged,
nearly three hours lator, with Premier
Clemenceau, when he was given an
other' ovation. Lloyd George appeared
later and also was cheered.
The strike of painterg and decorat
ors at Spokane has been called off.
