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.
