Plans To Market 22OOO,OOO
Pounds of Py1l,1es Announced.
Today Weeks TO Be Set Aside

Portland, Or, Jan. 27.-Initial
steps toward launching "prune
week. and a astate-wide movement
to dispose of 22,e00,O00 pounds of
prunes which Oregon growers have
as yet been unable to market, were
announced here today. That the
situation among many prune grow
ers who have thousands of pounds
of the fruit on their hands, is a
desperate one, and that "prune
week" is to be held with view to
alleviating this condition, are the
statements of those behind the
movement.
In the hope of disposing of the
22,0OO,0OO pounds of prunes, Gov
ernor Olcott will be requested to
issue proclamation in the near
future calling on residents OF the
state to make a special effort to
buy prunes during the week start
ing February 1. OF approximately
30,O0O,O00 pounds of prunes grown,
but 100000 pounds have been
marketed, 1t is stated.
Details concerning "prune week"
are not yet completed, but it is un-
derstood that merchants of the
state will be offered the prunes at
eight cents, to be disposed of for
not more than 10 cents per pound.
Every effort will be made to have
the fruit handled by retailers in
each community, but in case this
plan fails in any district, consum-
ers will be furnished in some other
manner direct.
Belief that by means of the
statewide movement the very SER
ious situation confronting growers
of the state will be mitigated, was
expressed here today.
