The Fruit Outlook.
(From the Climate and Crop Bulletin
of the Oregon Climate and Crop Service)
FRUIT.—Concerning the fruit crop,
it has changed little since last week.
Correspondents still report fruit as fail
ing, and many express themselves in
doubt. The extent of damage cannot
lie ascertained until some warm spring
wreather has had its effect. The weather
becoming suddenly warm would also be
damaging. Pears, prunes, peaches and
cherries nave suffered the most. Some
trees are well set with these fruits, but
the growth seems to be checked, and a
sickly look is noticed.
Early apples
have suffered also, but the late bloom
ing apple has a better prospect. Goose
berries and currants make slow growth,
but are not much hurt in other respects.
Strawberries are backward. Black ber
ries are beginning to bloom with a pros
pect of a very full crop. The apple and
cherry crops are thought to be safe in
Curry county, the rains having been
w’armer than in other sections. Late
blooming fruits in Lincoln county are
doing well. The future of all early fruits
will be determined after a spell of fair
W’eather and sunshine.
