Situation in District Is Most
Deplorable in Years De
clares S. H. Van Trump,
County Inspector
HIGHLAND ORCHARDS
IN BETTER CONDITION
Real Damage , Done During
Winter; Prunes, Cherries
and Berries Hard Hit
Declaring that the fruit situa
tion ia this territory is in the
worst condition he has ever wit
nessed, . S. H. Van Trump, county
fruit inspector, predicted I' the
shQrteBt crops on record... .
"There will be practically no
Italian prunes in the county," Mr.
Van Trump etated. "Some petitea
are to be teen, although to all pur
poses there will be no prune crop
this year at air." The cherries in
most all localities' are blasted. In
one large orchard I investigated,
we took fiTe large branches from
a Royal Anne tree, and found one
cherry. ,
"In the highlands, conditions
are some what better, due to the
protection offered. Old prune
growers declare that they cannot
see anything in the way of a crop
this year. In Polk county, condi
tions seem to be slightly better.
Cold Winter Cause
According to Mr. Van Trump,
the spring weather has had noth
ing to do with the crop shortage.
The real damage was done in De
cember and January, he declared.
The' trees were soft at the time,
aad due to the rather warm , wea
ther, the sap had risen In the
trunks and. branches. When the
cold snap struck, the trees were
, blasted. , ... ;.i ft.
"Cherries in the Salem region
seem to be in fair condition," Van
Trump stated. "I do not know
how the situation is in the hill
district." and the Roeedale section
has not yet been visited. Pears
are very spotted, with all indica
tions of an extremely short crop
The blooms were -excellent, but
sow nearly all of them are black
looking as if they had been seared
with a torch.
"There will not be over a 15 per
cent crop of loganberries, and the
raspberries were badly injured,
while the usually h,ardy blackcap
was hard hit by the freeze. Straw
berries, and gooseberries seemed
to bear the cold weather best of
all, and are the only crops prom
ising results.
Prunes Hit Hardest
"Peaches seem to be fairly good.
as Tar as the early varieties are
concerned. The late free-stones
are very bad. In the hill region
the returns look promising.
It is hard to tell how the wal
nut crop will be. At any rate the
returns will be much less than
last year. The catkins that opened
good seem to be falling off pre
maturely. Filbert are hard to
jndge in advance although a short
crop is expected."
Mr. Van Trump stated: th'it In
visiting a three-year old orchard
of petite prunes, he found at least
20 per cent of the trees in a dying
condition. i

was arrived at on the ground that

Insuring the present government a

Medical supervision will necessi
tate the division of the city and
county Into districts and sufficient
nurses will be supplied by the

allow a nurse for three school
buildings in the city. This will
allow for the control of communi
cable diseases more efficiently.
There will also be added an in
