Editor Morning Call: The cold, cloudy
weather during the first days Of the week
had a very depressing effect on all branches
Of the dried-fTuit industry. Even the
wineries were affected, for cold weather re-
tarls fermentation and work has TO be sus-
pended. But the weather has been warm
enough the latter part OF the week to suit

under more favorable auspices. At the
prune-yard Of Miller & Hotchkiss the work
is about finished, and the yard is being
cleared Of the hundreds of trays. The dried
fruit Of this vicinity is eXcellent-equal to
