PRUNE GROWERS SAY
CROP OUTLOOK GOOD
Members Of the Local Pool
Agree Crop VIII Equal That
Of Last Year

Favorable reports were heard regard
ing the coming prune crop at the meet
ing held Saturday afternoon by mem
bers of the prune pool at the office of
the Salem Fruit Union. The general
opinion was that from the present CON
dition of the crop it would equal that
of last year.
Represented in the pool are from 170
to 1S0 growers with about 100 acres,
about 300 more than were signed up
last year. The selling of the pool was
placed in the hands of Robert c. Paul
us, the manager. This action was taken
by the board of directors.
Mr.. Paulus expressed the belief that
prices would be high this year. The
California growers are practically all
pooled and this assures reasonable re-
turn to the growers. AS so many of
the California growers are tied up on
thre eyear contracts with options on
the part of the associations for two
years more, Mr.. Paulus thought the
prune business was on a substantial ba-
sis for the next five years. There was
a close clean up of last years prunes
and this fact will aid in securing bet
ter prices the coming year.
Forthcoming crop. Since that time ac-
tion has been taken and ample supplies
are assured, not only from Cuba, but
from elsewhere. There will be no famine
