APPLES: Pacific Northwest car let shipments from hte 1030 crop promise an Increase of nearly 5.000 cars over last year and about 4.000 cars above the five year average. Ac tual car lot shipments as reported for the crop of 1028, 192B. and the live year average, and estimated ship ments for the. 1930 crop are as fol lows; . . 1930 5 year 1030 crop Aver.

The Oregon and Idaho estimates were recently com piled by the Federal statisticians on the basis of estimates furnished by wel'. Informed Individuals In the principal producing districts. The actual 1930 car lot totals may be more or less than the estimates de pending on weather and other con ditions between now and harvest. The total Pacific Northwest crop lr estimated as follows: 1930 crop, 42,630.000 bushels; 1020 crop, 36, 15C.000 bushels; 5 year average, 40, 027.000 bushels. The total North west commercial crop for 1029 is now estimated at the equivalent of 12. 153,000 barrels; for 1929, at 10,000, 000 barrels, and a five year average of 10,990.000 barrels. - The total United States crop is now forecast at 140,440.000 bushels, ccmpare'd with .139,754,000 bUBhels In 1029, and the five year average of 160.745,000 bushels. The United States commercial crop is now forecast at 30,722,000 barrels, compared with 28,973,000 barrels in 1929, and the five year average of 32.871,000 barrels. (One barrel equiv alent to three bushclB.) . ; . PEARS: Tho biggest' item in tho 1930 pear Increase -of 45 per ' cent is the estimate of 4,600 cars In the Yakima district compared with snip men tc of 2,031 last year. Hood River estimates are about double the 1929 trict is oxpected to produce 600-700 shipments, and the Rogue River dis card more than last - year.

PRUNES: Opinion as . well as growcrn condition reports indicate that tho 1030 Poclfic Northwest dried prune crop will probably be some whero around 50-60 million pounds. Somo estimates are for not more than 40,000,000 pounds. The 1930 crop, a f tor a careful check with packers was estimated at 113,000,000 pounds in Oregon and Washington. . . It is quite generally the opinion that prunes now on the trees could produce 50-60 million pounds (con dition reports of growers' 54 per Stafford of Troutdale, all of whom j arr Ineligible for the high honor j this year. i Interest throughout the state has reached a high pitch, according to Mr. Seymour, with clubs reporting ! strong "lntra-mural" competition In the race to represent each county In 1 the contest for premier honors. 1 ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo OOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOflOOOQOOOOOOOOOOOO ooooooooooooooooooooooopoooooooooooooooooocoooooo Butter Nourishes Body .

But tending to reduce the present prospects are : ( 1 ) considerable drop now in pro gress; (2) considerable "scale" in many ore hard o which will make quite a percentage of the crop unfit tor drying; (3) low prices oeing oi- ; fcred will doubtless result in con-! stderablc fruit not being picked; (4) tho low prices prevailing since the beginning of 1930 have discouraged proper care, and numerous orchards will therefore produce small sized lrult, even with the light crop in prospect; (5) reluctance to make harvest loans expected to result in sonm fruit not being picked. - The fresh prune crop of 1029 was shipped to tne extent of 4110 cars. About 28.000,000 pounds went Into cans. 1930 car lot shipments aro expectetd to bo 70-80 per cent of ltull. Canning will probably be somewhat less than last year. SMALL FRUITS The strawberry harvest was very disappointing. While totals are not ypt available it Is estimated that tho canning and cold pack output was only about CO per cent or tho snoit crop of 1129. Tho raspberry crop turned out about as expected early in the sea son, with a pack equal to the short crop oi lost year. Loganberries.: Pack thought to be 60-70 per cent ot last year's light output. Blackberries promise 30-40 per cent of u normal crop In cultivated yards, but lr.bor situation may result in large increase in harvest of wild berries, and total pack may be 75 per cent or more of usual. STATISTICIAN'S COMMKNTS Oregon (Paul C, Newman, Agr. statistician) "Tho apple situation is probably tho most favorable in several years. The fruit is sizing well and Is un usually free from worm and insect injury. Many say this year's crop Is tho cleanest they have seon in years. In tho Hcud River section the crop is practically made. It is true that an ir.iestatlon of worms may occur later on an was the case last ubnoon, but villi tho present good crop prospect, inoro thorough spray ing than Inst year will doubtless be practiced.
