This conference, the first concrete
result of a movement that has long
been under way for the establishment
of a branch of the federal reserve at
Salt Lake, is expected to prove q
strong factor in obtaining recogniza-
ton from the federal authorities. II
is claimed thousands Of dollars would

would be afforded would outweigh
many times the monetary benefits.

Capital News Special Service.)
Emmett, Nov. 16.-Probably the
biggest price secured for a carload Of
prunes by an Emmett grower this year
was $1156 f. o. b. Emmett, for car
containing 1860 crates. This is equiva-
lent to $91.75 per ton. These prunes
were sold by Duncan Hunter and
were grown on the famous Frozen Dog
fruit farm east of Emmett. The car of
prunes was sold in New York.
The crates in this carload of prunes
were packed in what is termed the suit
case pack. The total cost of packing
prunes this way is much cheaper than
the usual method Of packing them in
tiers in the little baskets. The total ex-
pense Of the suitcase pack is 15 cents
per crate (. o. b. cars, as compared with
2b cents per crate when the other
method is used. BY using the suit -case
pack Mr.. Hunter saved 10 cents per
crate or $126 on the car of 1860
crates.
SHIP APPLES IN BARRELS.
One of Emmett's prominent fruit
shippers made the statement that v is
his opinion that in the future most OF
the prunes grown here will be suit
case packed. He is strongly of the
opinion that the time is approaching
when Idaho apples will be shipped cas-
in barrels instead of boxes.
Erwin Heath got return of 1920
from his four acres of prunes. He
sold his prunes by the ton for $220(
net at the orchard, which is a return
of $3.50 per acre.
