A PRoF1rABLR EXPERIMENT.

The experience of local prune grower
in shipping their fruit green has prove
highly satisfactory. Recently carloat
of Italian prunes were shipped from til 5

ceived last Friday show that the entir

twenty pounds were:
S. n. Lilly, " csnts.
Corvallis Prune Co.. e5 cents.
Rev. A. Rogers, GO cents.
Will Buchanan, 60 cents.
Fred Stalil, SO cents.
Frank Conove-, SIS cents.
The total expense of picking, packing
shipping and commissions is sixty cents
per crate or one @ne dollar and eighty
c ,nts per bushel. Thus the priG- rs-..ized
by each shipper per hsshel was as fo!-
lows: Lilly, 20 cent? Psaue Co, $I,os,
