FRUIT ALONG
SNAKE RIVER
Taking tha Snake river valley as a
whole, trait men look tor a good aver
age yield of fruit. Certain varletiea in
soma parte of tha valley are damaged
as a result of thaoold weather last
winter, but thia damage doea not ex
tend over a very large area.
At Clarkston, where the greateat
damage was suffered, there will bo no
paaohea and only small crops of cher
ries and strawberries. Below Alpowa
there will be a full crop of everything.
Cherries of tha purple Gulngo variety
art now ripe and are being ehlpped to
Spokane and Lewiaton. This variety
will be followed by tbe black Tartar
ian In a short time, and then the
Boyal Annea and other sweat cherries
will coma. ''
- Along the lower river tha crops of
neaohea and peara will be large, about
the same as laat year, with tha excep
tion of aprioota, tba crop of which Is
email. Xhe fruit la maturing a little
earlier this year than laat and may
consequently bring a little better price.
Montana, the Dakotas and other east
era states furnish tbe chief market for
Snake river fruit. '
