Oregon pear production prospects
declined considerably during June,
chiefly as a result of one of the worst
hall storms ever esperienced ln South
ern Oregon which swept an area of
oet.ween i.ooo to a.ooo acres of or
chard land north of Medford. While
the storm did not strike the heaviest
orchard district It caused a loss of
ui aw cars or around ten per cent of

the touil pear crop. Althounh estl
mates of damage range from 100 to
300 cars the fact that thinning was
Just getting under way may make
possible the salvaging of a consider

mostly favorable with a plentiful
moisture supply and very little fruit

The Western Oregon prune crop,
used chiefly for drying, shows up with
even poorer prospects than a month
ago and this ln splto of the fact that
in manv orchards reporting a com
plete failure last month considerable
quantities of fruit remained on the
trees. Whether In these cases the
quantity of fruit will bo sufficient to
Justify harvesting will depend upon
conditions during tho remainder of
the season.
Prune Outlook Good
The nrune croo ln Eastern Oregon,
which goes to market largely as fresh
fruit, continues to snow very good
prospects with an estimated produc
tion placed at 32,000 tons compared
Willi 21.0UO tons last year.
While the cherry crop varied great-
lv depending upon the variety and
section taken as a whole the outturn
this vear Is considerably better than
last season. The crop Is turning out
considerably better than June first re
ports indicated, cnieiiy as a result oi
warmer weather and the continued
absence of damaging rains. Consider
able windy weather about mid-month
caused a great deal of wind bruising
in some orchards in wasco county out
the damage was not serious generally
The production prospects for grapes
are just about up to average ior una
season. The estimated July l pro
duction Is 2,024 torts compared to the
unrevlscd average of 1,737 tons. ,
Growing condition has been favor
able quite generally to the blackberry
and raspberry crops, blackberries ln
particular show better than average
prospects for. July 1st. uotn crops are
considerably oeiow a year ago.
