Berry Crops
Reports of Heavy Damage
To Pear Orchards Denied
Indications point to a fine berry
crop In this section tnis year,
especially etrawbtrrice;, according
to thoAe who have visited various
section. A good and early bloom
is showing on loganberries, but It
la noticeable that there are good
canen and poor canes showing in
the same yards The practice is
belnr established of outtinr off the
poor canes to tat tho new shoots
come out, but neverthles have
them nut of the way for the pick
ers. The loganberry crop will be
short. It is expected but neverthe
less probably up to last year's
stnndard.

EXPERTS THING
prof. Don C. Moulton and Prof.
I. O. Th o : n two n, of the O rego n
Agricultural College stuff, who for
(he past two seasons have been
experimenting In Lablsh Meadows
on ffome so-t of a plan to curb and
kill the onion mnuKot, announced
today that they believe they have
the problem solved.
'We believe we are near to a
solution in fact believe we have
it," was the declaration of Prof.
Moulton. "Itut we are not yet
ready to make any announcement
nm to what our remedy in, as we
desire to conduct another season
of experiment In order to determ
ine the q i int J on thor-jufflily In our
own minus.
The onion mnffirt is the one
big serlouji problem of the Lnhiwh
onion arowurs. Home years th

"This year the mncgot has not
so far e.ppenred as the flii conn
cut about this time or a little
earlier and lay their crs on the
soli. In a few iaym these hatch
and th'j maggots go do.vn Into the
soil and enter tho onion about
where the routs begin. One nu
got will eat a half dozen of the
bahy onions and It Is cany to see
wnni damage tuey can do to the
crop.
"We" believe we have the prob

announce refills that will do
large amount of good in the

that some damage was done, but
the extent of it la problematical.
