FRUII IS HURT
Walla Walla, Jan. 26. Although
the opinions of experienced fruit men
seem to differ In regard to the amourt
of damage wrought upon the cron for
(he coming season, there is still every
reason to believe that the. Walla
Walla valley output of fruit'1' will be
larger than before. It. E. Trumbull,
former asaHtant experimental ento
mologist of the Washington State
college, has made a study of the tree?
and reports that the crop lins suf
fered but very" little. Mr, Trumbull
has, Just 'returned from the Kllekltut
and White Salrtlon country, and exam
ined the trees in ' that section of the
country also. In regard to t'lln mat
ter, lie. said: "I do nut think any a'.
i!ie t'rult is damaged to any percepti
ble degree In this, valley or In the
; imntry t have Juat Iwi.n vhilllnp. If
hurt at all, the crops will bo. affected
'. it slightly and I think the crop for
'hf! coming year shows every prospect
"f being a record-breaker."
This seems to be the opinion of sev
eral Iii.-al fruit men, but tha "doubtlnr
rhomcHes" also exist. Some of these
declare that peaches can not live after
the weather gets five below zero and
that the limit for cherries is about 11
below.
Their opinion Is that the peach crop
Is totally destroyed except for a few
dormant buds and the Blng cherries
are also frozen out. Wlille this may
be so, the majority of people favor the
"bumper crop" Idea, exclusively and
rtate that If anything, the output will
be benefited rather than damaged ly
the cold snap,
The consensus of opinion arfnm
the managers of the packing houses
uid produce dealers, however, Is that,
-lotwtthstandtng tho annu.il crop fail
ure report, the Walla Walla valley
orchards will yield their usual heavy
returns this fall when tho fruit Is
gathered.
