 their acreage.

PpINAL payment to the members of the Washing- 

 ton Growers' Packing Corporation for their 

 prunes was made a few days ago. Although the 

 1921 yield was light, the returns through the 

 association were exceptionally good, in many In- 

 stances averaging sixty dollars a ton more than 

 that received by Independent growers who sold 

 their entire crop early in the season. The aver- 

 age paid the association members was eleven cents 

 .1 pound and for the extremely large prunes six- 

 teen cents a pound. 



This remarkable record was due partly to the 

 exceptionally fine pack of prunes which always 

 brought top prices and partly to the low overhead 

 which almost set a new record. 



AAA 



A COMPLETE clean-up of the 1921 crop prunes 

 Is reported fr?)ni association offices in Clarke 

 county. For this reason a brisk demand for new 

 crop prunes Is expected In the fall.

C'OUR terns of dried prunes to the car are re- 

 ported by the Association from the orchard 

 ot .Abel Johnson located In Fruit Valley, about a 

 mile north of the C'ty limits of Vancouver. For 

 these prunes Mr. Johnson received between $180 

 and $200 a ton. .An orchard belonging to John 

 Spurgeon in the same locality produced well over 

 three tons of dried prunes to the acre.

•'T'HE potato department of the packing cor- 

 poration in Clarke county reports its 1921 

 stocks all cleaned up. Fifty carloads of seed po- 

 tatoes were shipped to California points. Cer- 

 tified seed brought an average of well over $3 a 

 hundred pounds, .ind was In strong demand. J. E. 

 Larson, manager of the potato department, has 

 tendered his resignation, to become effective soon.

 knowledge and untiring efforts in behalf of the 

 potato Industry of Clarke county have been much
