TIME TO ORGANIZE.
Expenditures for Packing Plant May
be Deferred Until Fruit Crop is
Assured.

/
There has been some discussion
among local prune growers touch
ing the advisabi1ity of organizing
"a processing and packing company
in Corvallis, but no definite action
has as yet been taken, and whether
or not anything will be done this
season can only be surmised. That
the idea is a good one is generally
conceded and a little action could
easily put it into practice. Or
CARNATIONS of this kind are becom-
ing quite common in Western Ore
gon, as growers are beginning to
realize that the prune should be
put on the market in a more at
tractive shape than is the custom
now, ifthey expect it to compete in
the market with other fruit. There
was time when nearly all the
dried prunes grown in Oregon were
shipped in sacks like so many po-
tatoes. but in later years, where
packing houses have been estab-
lished the prune business has grown
both in popularity and profit, and
If Benton county expects to con-
tinue in the business, her growers
must get into the procession for
improvement in marketing her
products. Now is the time to or
ganize if anything is to be done
this season. The processing plant
need not be built until the prune
crop is assured next summer, but it
would not cost much to form
company and be prepared to do
business when the proper time
comes. With good crop of
prunes next fall, which is more than
likely to come, Corvallis should
ship twenty or thirty carloads of
processed fruit, attractive1y boxed,
and at better profit than is obtained
from the old style of handling them
Not only this, but it would give
employment to 80 or 40 people
during the winter months and per-
haps prove as beneficial to the lab
orer and the merchant as it would
to the prune grower:
This is matter of some i'm
portance and it would seem that
we were not alive to our own in-j
terests if the subject is not thor
oughly canvassed and discussed at
this time.
Douglas county produces about
as many prunes as any other coun-
ty in the state and although they
have never had a processing plant
there, two large companies have
been organized in Roseburg within
the past few weeks by men Of ex-
perience III the business, and we
predict that every prune grown in
Douglas county this year will be
properly packed before being
placed on the market. Theirs is no
why Benton county cannot
do likewise.
