MAKE "FRENCH" PRUNES
California Prunes Are "OOCtOred" in
France and Re-Shlpped to
United States.

That French merchants have learn
ed the trick Of ''redoctoring" and re-
packing California prunes so as to
make them look like the genuine
Bordeaux article is re-asserted by
United States Consul Tourgee, at
Bordeaux, France.
The Consul was asked to explain the
statement in his annual report that
"California prunes are imported to
Bordeaux, are there repackcd to main
tain the superiority of French prunes,
and are then shipped in large quanti-
ties to the United States, where they
compete successfully with the Ameri-
can fruit which has not incurred the
cost Of double expectation"
He produces evidence in support of
his assertion. Although the crop of
prunes in France last year was, he
says, almost Il negligible quantity,
the export of "French" prunes was
not materially less than in past years.
Consul Tourgee confesscs that he
does not understand the process Of
transformation applied but he is sure
of it's existence.
