SHIPPING PRUNE
AND PEAR CROP

The Garfield Fruit & Produce COM
pany has representative here looking
after the packing and shipping of several
carloads of prunes and pears, which they
have bought through Washburn & Viii
son. The price for prunes now is from
$40 to $50 ton, which is much lower
than the opening quotations. Pears are
bringing the grower from $40 to $50 a
ton.
The Garfield company will ship two
cars of prunes and two of pears from
here, and have shipped two cars of
prunes from Viola A considerable por-
ton Of the prune crop has been sold to
the Lewiston cannery, some of the farm
ers preferring to ship to Lewiston be-
cause of the fact that the prunes may
be shaken from the tree instead of being
picked.
1t is estimated that the crop of both
prunes and pears is about 90 per cent
of normal.
