Oregon' apple crop will be excellent
tin year, according to the statement
of (Jeorge H. LamlMrson, secretary of
tue"rKt'e lizard, cf( Horticulture, who
learns through the'variouc fruit com
missioner what the condition ar in
all part of the state.
"There will bo a full crop of apple
this year," said Mr. Lamberaon, ''and
the quality will be of the finest that ha
ever beed in this slate, at a general rule.
One reason for this is that there lias
been no fungus this year. Diaease in
fruit is largely due to dampness in the
air that gives life to tl.o little organism
that cause it. The long dry season that
we have been having this year has done
good in that regard, for it 1 owing to
it that there have been no pests In the
apple, and theiefore an excellent crop.
"It ia indeed very fortunate that Ore
gon should have a good crop at this time,

"There will alro be a fairly good crop
of peache this year, especially in (south
ern Oregon. In the latter place there
will be a good crop of peaches, and I am
told, that on the Columbia and Hnake
river the peaches will also be good. Of
Course, the WiTlaniette Valley I not a
peach producing district, and doe not
figure in that class of product.
"But with prune the case Is different.
There will owy be about one-fifth the
amount produced this year that wa
realized last season. There were jJO.UQO
000 pound of dried prime (hippett trot
Oregon last year, while it seems that
this year the amonnt will only be about
6,0t)0,000pr 6.000.000 pounds shipped out.
"The best locality for prune this year
i in th hill of Polk County. There
the crop will be fairly stood. In Booth
em Oregon the French prune are doing
rofc9veJI and will yield about 7C per
cent of last year' crop. Uiit tiwe Uuilau
prune will not amount to much any
where, making only between 16 and 20
per cent of last year' crop.
" "failure in the prune crop I due to
raid in the blossoming' 'eaon.:'The
blossoms were knocked riff the tree be
