The government placed produc tion at about ISO.aTjU tons com par ed, with the United Stales pick of '140,8(0 tons a year ago and the liC7-2i( average ot lie.:t09 tons. Northwest cherry sales opened on Chicagu markets with borne Oregon biugs In IS-pound lugs at 2.49 aud the Washington pack at 2.M. T Oregoa Production, Except as lo Apples, Will Be Over Average. PORTLAND. June 1!.-AP Better than average production in Oregon tree fruit crops, with the possible exception of apples, was indicated today in the bureau of agricultural economics June sur vey. , Apples will bo less; than normal because of an off-bearing season In New towns, the principal commer cial variety in the Hood River val ley. The survey included: Apples Estimated 71 per cent of normal compared with 75 per cent last year and the lo-year aver age. Despite some frost damage, the western Oregon outlook was favorable.

The average crop is 1,354,000 bushels. Southern Oregon prospects were favorable although there was scat tered frost and halt damage. Some serious frost damage occurred in Hood River valley hut the outlook as a whole was favorable. Fall and winter variety pears The crop was estimated at 2,744, 000 bushels, slightly less than last year's record of 2.S12.000 but well above average. The Medford crop was In very good condition. Prunes The outlook was 84 per cent of normal compared with 47 per rent In 1938. The warm, dry spring was favorable to pollina tion in the principal western Ore gon producing sections. Little damage occurred frum the spring drought. The eastern Oregon fresh market crop was Bjiotted be cause of late April and early May frost. Peaches The government , pre dicted 2H7.000 bushels, the heaviest crop since 1919. The ten-year av erage is 27:i.Ono. Cherries The June 1 condition indicated 22.000 tons, l.loo tons more than 193S. Frost reduced the eastern Oregon crop but the loss es were more than offset by west ern Oregon prospects. OREGON'S TRUCK CROPS IMPROVED PORTLAND, June 19.

CREED TO f HIS WASHINGTON, June 19. fAP) Secretary of 'Agriculture Wallace presented to " a national "M-T club camp today an "agricultural creed" embracing such goals as family sized and owned farms and a "fair share" or the national income for agriculture.

We can't afford breakdowns and 'Caterpillar' dependability has been a sure solution to our problems. Besides, my Diesel D4 is much cheaper to op erate. Fuel, grease, and oil cost only one-third as much as they did with my gas tractor." Ask for a Demonstration on Your Own Farm DOUGLAS COUNTY Farm Bureau Co-op. Exch. ROSEBURG, OREGON from 43 states to copy Ui their notebooks, Included these points: The nation's farm products should be improved, and agricultur al production made more efficient. Farmers should have "a lair share" of the national Income and In return should "do justice to city consumers" by using; governmen tal aid to stabilize supplies aud prices of their products. KaruierB should learn to cooper ate more effectively amons them selves and with other economic groups, and should use their ad vantages to develop a rural cul ture. The rural youngsters visited the white house where a delegation presented President Roosevelt with a gavel made from wood from the white house and from Washing ton's home at Mount Vernon, TQ BE TOPPED EARLY Topping strawberry plants fol lowing harvest has been found to be beneficial in the control of cer tain destructive Insect pests aud foliage diseases. Toplpiurt when practiced sbould follow immediate ly alter harvest. Delay in the top ping for a period of time after har vest may result in deceased fruit yields for next yvzv. Such Is the informal ion released in Extension Circular 328, "After Harvest Care of Strawberry Plants," issued by the extension service of the state college. Recommendations of the bulletin are results of extensive field trials in the Willamette val ley. Inflect pest and diseases doing damage to Btraw berry plants in the Willamette valley are the same as those giving trouble in Douglas county, and local growers can bene fit from the investigational work carried on if the recommendations are put Into practice, states Coun ty Agent J. Roland Parker. Old strawberry fields infested with the strawberry crown moth are the chief source of infestation to new plantings. Strawberry fields which have passed the pro ductive period should be plowed under immediately after harvest before strawberry crown moth has an opportunity to emerge and lay eggs. Detailed description of tho crown moth and control measures are available in Oregon Station Bulletin 357 and can be secured at the county agrnl's office on re quest. Extension Circular 328 summar izes cultural practices found best adapted in Oregon and reviews re sults from the use of fertilizers on strawberries as a means of Increas ing yields. Irrigation has also been found In many incidences to in crease yield and maintain a vigor ons planting. BREAK DOWNS -7 - . Douglas Co. Representative. Eugene H. Fisher, Oakland (Kellogg).
