ncss, and perhaps there always will be, 

 a certain element so hungry to do busi- 

 ness that they too have lost sight of all 

 the higher principles of business and 

 these unfit prunes are always bought by 

 them. Of course the inevitable end of 

 that packer is failure sooner or later, 

 but by a run of fortunate market condi- 

 tions he may last through several sea- 

 sons and during that period can do the 

 industry untold in.jury. I could point 

 you to any number of wholesale deal- 

 ers and to the trade in more than one 

 entire city where they have quit buy- 

 ing Oregon prunes for no other reason 

 than that above stated. 



It seems to me that the time has come 

 and that there is no other alternative 

 except to compel this small minority to 

 become honest. We must have some 

 sort of legislation which will fix a fair, 

 reasonable standard for Oregon cured 

 fruit, to which both grower and packer 

 shall be compelled to measure up, and 

 with this law there must be provided 

 the necessary machinery fo make it de- 

 cidedly effective. Give us this and I 

 believe the outlook for prune growing 

 in the Northwest is decidedly bright. 

 Without it the majority cannot build up 

 the trade fast enough to overcome the 

 counter effects of the careless, dishon- 

 est operator. The outlook for the Ore- 

 gon prune as a steady, profitable horti- 

 cultural industry is decidedly bright 

 except for the two exceptions noted 

 above, both of which will eventually be 

 eliminated.

 sliiiuld do so.
