CROP
is NOT
HURT
PruneS Are Not Yet Dam,
aged by Rain, Except a
Few .petiteS

The damage to the prune crop by
the recent heavy rains Is not at all
alarming and the reports immediate
ly after the rainy spell have been
in'the most part exaggerated. There
has been some cracking of the Ital-
ian variety but very little If any
among the Petites. The Italians
have not suffered as much as at first
reported. In many instances the
cracking is only slight and will not
injure the fruit for marketable pur-
poses. THE small percentage of
damaged fruit will not materially af-
feet the output and the damage that
may result to the whole crop can
only come through the drying of the
cracked fruit" said Manager Till
son, of the firm of Tillson & Co., this
morning.
The cracked prunes when dried
will. open out, the stone usually
drops out and what is known to the
trade as a slab" remains. The re-
suit is that in grading stock that con-
tains many of these Slabs" 1t will
prove a difficult task to save the
larger sizes. These slabs" will have
a tendency to fiatten and are so light
that they will go over the grader into
the 80 bin and make that grade so
light as to compel them to go as 40s
or smaller. The appearance of fruit
containing these slabs" would mean
its rejection on its arrival in the east.
In the drying process the Slabs"
If lye was used would be rendered
unfit for use. If the Willamette val
ley prune crop is injured 1t will only
be through the inexperienced men
who will persist in drying the crack
ed fruit. Tillson & Co. are sending
circulars to their patrons as a pre-
cautionary measure, urging the i'm
portance of keeping split stock out
of their dried product.

A SMALL
MINERAL
EXHIBIT
Some Good Ore Shown, But
No Effort Made TO Show
0regOn'S Mines

1t is really shame there was not
a better or at least bigger exhibit
of ores at the state fair. There was
some really good ore there, not very
high grade, but good average ore,
the kind of which big mines ard big
fortunes are made. Most of it was
base and as there was neither person
nor pamphlet present to describe
1t, it might just as well have been
country rock as far as the great mass
of the visitors was concerned. There
was some good ore from the Free
land mine, and some from other
mines in the Cascades and In Mar
ion county. The trouble was there
was so little of 1t. so few exhibits.
that it failed to attract attention.
Eastern Oregon made no showing
whatever, and southern Oregon's ex-
hibit was of the same nature-not a
paying mine, that is a regularly
equipped and operated mine sent
pound of ore, or made any attempt
to show what Oregon produces from
her generous bosom. 1t was a great
opportunity, sadly neglected. Had
the big mines shown fraction of the
energy the few who have their prop
critics yet in the development stage
did, there would have been a show
ing that would have surprised not
only the visitors but our own people.
