Wilson visited the city by invitation to assist in ceebrat

Quality of Prunes Is
Said To Be Firstclass

c. o. Constable, county fruit in.
spector, after a tour of inspection of the
orchards, said this afternoon that the
quality of the prunes this season has
been first class but that the yield is
not up to normal though somewhat bet
ter than last year. He says the yield
will average about 40 per cent of full
crop. This is particularly for MariQu
county, although other counties report
larger yields. Prices for the fruit have
been satisfactory for the grower. The
drying season, too, he says, has been
the most ideal since he began to raise
prunes over % years ago.
The apple and pear orchards he saws
are badly affected with seab although
the crop is heavy enough. The cold and
rainy season has made it impossible TO
keep seab down in both apple and pear
orchards. Cnsprayed orchards are af-
fected with san Jose scale but spraying
he says will remove the greater part of
that disease.
