Recent Analysis 



of Cured Prunes 



A recent analvsis of cured prunes 

 at the University of California re- 

 sulted as follows : 



The cured prunes ran in size, 

 number to the pound, as to vari- 

 ety : Sugar, 32 6; Imperial, 37.8; 

 Robe de Sergeant, 41.2; French, 

 50.4; Splendor, 50.4. 



The Splendor i)rune bad the 

 smallest percentage of weight in 

 pits, 10 per cent. The Sugar and 

 French had the same, 13 per cent, 

 the Robe de Sergeant, 15, md the 

 Imperial 16 per cent. 



The percentage of sugar was as 

 foliows: Sugar, 49.5; French, 45 4; 

 Robe de Sergeant, 39.1; Splendor, 

 39. i: Imperial, 37.9. 



The marketable apple stock in 

 the Pajaro valley is at)out closed 

 out. A tour of the packing houses, 

 it is reported, disclosed the fact that 

 there is not over six carloads of 

 apples on hand, avid this fruit is be- 

 ing shipped to San Francisco. 



The receipts of American and 

 Canadian apples ai Liverpool for 

 the week ending February 4, 

 amounted to 7,038 barrels, a total 

 for the season of 1,075,984 ' arrels, 

 as compared with 324,063 barrels a 

 year ago. 



Apples are said to be moving 

 slowly in Pittsburg. Some dealers 

 who stored heavily are expected to 

 be down with nervous prostration 

 before they get out from under. 



Tremendous efforts are being 

 made in the East to clear out apple 

 stocks and shippers are sending 

 abroad all that the European 

 markets will take.

This harness is indispensable to every fruit grower — vineyardist or 

 orcliardist. S.ives time, labor and patience. Pays for itself many times over 

 every season in the snvinij of injury to trees and vines and damage to grow- 

 ing fruit, which always occurs from the use of ordinary whiflletrees and 

 traces. ,r)nc of the handiest of farm equipments. 



We have hundreds of testimonials from every State, like the following: 

 Dear Sirs: l-lorin. C.nl. July -■!. iwa. 



I p\U your harness on a span of horses lh.it weicli close to HOf) llis. tluy broke cen- 

 ters iTi a vineyard for two weeks at a stretch and seemed not to notire th&l they were in 

 a. different ha..rness, tliouKh one is a very nervous horse. I never had as much pleasure 

 in i>l()wins as I did with that harness. No broken vines, no steppinK over traces and no 

 traces to catch. It makes vineyard plowine a pleasure instead of hard work.
