OREGON PRUNE PREFERRED
Prediction That British Consumers
VIII Ultimately Take Entire Crop.

That the oregon prune is the best
on the market and that the English
people are getting to use it for each
day as a healthful food article and
the demand for it will grow so that
England will ultimately take all the
prunes grown in Oregon, is the be-
lief of A. c. Coltman, one of the lead
ing brokers in England, who made a
special trip to Oregon in an effort to
make arrangements whereby he can
secure a portion Of this years crop.
Mr.. Coltman's firm is one of the
largest in the fruit business in Eng
land and handles large quantities Of
prunes, reports the Salem Statesman.
This is the first time that a member
of the firm has crossed the ocean to
study the prune situation. This
step was taken, declared Mr.. Coltman,
because of the rapidly growing de-
mand for Oregon prunes in England.
He says that the people are beginning
to look uopn the prune as one OF
the staple articles of food and that
the objections entertained by many
people to the fruit have been over
come by the Oregon prune.
This is largely due, he says, to the
improved methods of drying and pro-
cessing. Formerly dried prunes were
Objectionable to many people because
the skin was tough and bitter. This
has been obvlated by these later
methods and processes so that now
the skin is soft and palatable. He
says many English people regard the
prune as particularly wholesome for
children.
