"V.' can't really determine thin yet, and J fear we wont know the real free? results until sometime ;it April," Walt explained. He add 4i that he did not think it wu quite so serious as some folk were torn willing to believe. . "We are making greenhouse tests on our strawberries, and I think that is the only sure way to know the damage before late spring. If the plants start growth and continue right through in good shape they are not seriously dam teed. If, on the other hand they show only little or very weak growth, the grower will know he its been hurt badly." .

Milton Foote on the Powers' Creek road east of Silverton, reported that hia lVt 'acre two-year-old Northwest straw berry field "is completely gone," but that be thought his "baby patch" had come through in good shape. The strawberries planted last spring about m acres of Northwests seemingly had come .through the November freeze with fiery little damage. Anthony DeSantis, who grows Vants for sale, said that inapec lion this week showed very little tt)maged in hia 45 acres of straw .Wry plants. "They really look awfully good, .'following the warm rains," De mantis said, adding, however, "that If damage has been done it hasn't shown up much as yet." Some fruit growers in Marion County say they found some in-j .
