cents for dIied primes now. The
fruit SEEMS 10 t"ste better to con
suIners than when it went at three
and four cents. A higher price rs

| cents in the market and they neve.

t for the table as an Oregon pune
yet they are more popularl1
bought. One reason why prune
are a litlle stiff in price now is tina
they are being shipped into Corval
lis from abroad. Benton is a cen
ter of prune production, but w
shipped out all our supply when tn
price was low and are shippin.
. back now when the cost is more
=, It is the rule Of the world that on1,
when we have to pay high for som
thing that we consider it par excel
. lent. If the prune men could ban
. together and force the price Q
their fruit up to 25. scents a pound
consumers would doubtless get
