Blossom blight shows up plain
ly now as brown colored, dead
blossoms, stems, land clusters.
By carefully looking Over a few
trees, the grower can determine
to what extent his trees aie af
fected.' Later fruit sprays o- dusts
will he. necessary to hold the "dis
ease in check, especially if there
is much rain before harvest
time. .
-The rot on prunes and peaches
In bad seasons such as th's one
is liable to be should be con
trolled by froit du:.ta or spray,
advises Rieder. .
This disease is undonbtcdly a
greater factor in fruit less than
most; growers realize, and there
are cases where the -whole crop
ras been lost d&e to a combina
tion of blossom blight and fruit
rot. 1

Country's Crops
May Be Largest
In-Many Seasons
Favorable crop prosrects in
Oregon are not unlike conditions
generally in the country as a
whole, according to the monthly
review, of the agricultural situ-!
ation and outlook lust released
by the. -Oregon State college ex
tension service. The -season is
starting off with prospects for
crops; ranges and pastures mod
erately better than In any of the
past several years., which is pret-J
ty good considering . that crop
production last year turned out
12 per cent-above the 1924-1929
average. I
' Some parts of the Great
riains. area are still lacking-in
subsoil moisture; so. tlat crop
yields in such districts will de
pend upon adequate'rainfall dur
ing the rest of the growing sea
ton, i
Tha abundance of production
now I In prospect is evidenced
somewhat by the April 1 govern
ment estimate of winter' wheat
production 726 million bushels.
This compares with 685 million
Irst year and 546 millions as the
1927-1936 average. Allowing
200 million for spring wheat,
the crop could be large enough
to care for all domestic and ex
port requirements and a very
substantial Increase in surplus
stocks.-
Feed grain production pros
pects are below average, but the
supply will be ample considering
the near record carry-over.
Conditions are favorable for
heavy milk production, and sur
reys show Increases in young
chickens and turkeys, owing to
favorable feed conditions and
better prices for . nimal prod
ucts relatively than for Crop
products, statistics show.
The Oregon farm price-index
Is" given at '65 per cent of the
1926-1930 average level, two
points lower than in February
rnd 27 points below March...
1937. ' The farm i cost Index
chows a decline of six points
compared with a year ago.

1938, if a dealer determines how
to "find his prospects and then

way. :..;- ' .
This in substance, is the key
note of a nationwide series of
spring- sales meetings which the

Kelvinator corporation launched
last week at Cincinnati, with
more than 300 dealers and sales
men from surrounding distribut
ing territories in attendance.
Sales of automobiles and other
manufactured products hare
lagged so far in 1938, lut this
situation " cannot be accepted as
the true measure of America's
buying power, Courtney Johnson,
Nash's : general sales manager,
heading the party of factory of
ficials, told the Cincinnati meet
ing. There are definitely new
car buyers in the market hun
dreds of thousands of them and
they can be sold if sufficiently
energetic merchandising tactics
are used.
Besides Mr. Johnson, members
of the factory party who ad
dressed the meeting were A. R-
Boscow.i director ,jf advertising
and merchandising, and W. A.
Blees, vice-president and general
manager of Geyer, Cornell &
Newell.: Inc., j , Nash-Kelvinator's
advertising counsellors.
