FORECAST FOR
FRUIT OUTPUT
COMES DOWN
Preliminary estimates of Pacific
Northwest fruit production as of
November 1 are below the October 1
forecasts except for Washington
pears and Oregon grapes and wal
nuts, says a federal bulletin.
Damage to farm crops from the
unprecedented cold wave which
struck the Pacific Northwest lateMn
October was both widespread and
severe. Estimates of total damage
particularly to fruit and vegetables
vary greatly and recent reports Indi
cate early estimates of apple losses
were probably high. It is thought
considerable fruit left In the orch
ards will regain good marketable
condition If not subjected to alter
nate freezing and thawing or other
severe weather. The preliminary
estimates contained In this report
reflect conditions as they could be
ascertained on November 1 and al
lowance was made for freeze dam
age known on that date. No accur
ate appraisal of the freeze damage
can be made for several days and
until It Is known what will be the
effects of many factors, such as--
the character of the weather for a
considerable period, care taken in
handling and reaction of the less
mature, less well-developed and un
colored fruit, etc.
APPLES: Because of warm wea
ther, prolonged through early Oc
tober, damage to apples from late
coddling moth Infestation In the
Pacific Northwest was severe. The
percentage of cull apples is higher
than was expected. Considerable
Joss from dropping during harvest
and the heavy loss of unharvested
apples from the extra-ordinary
freezing weather of late October re
duced both the total and commer
cial production. The commercial
crop of Washington and Oregon
represents only 35 per cent of the
commercial production for the en
tire country in 1935, contrasted with
the 38 per cent in 1934 and the five
year average of 32 per cent. In
Washington the lack of develop
ment of size and color at the sea
son's end was disappointing. In the
Hood River valley, Oregon, In spite
of worm damage, apples ran heavy
to extra-fancy grades because of
good sizes and fine coloring.
PEARS: Washington and Ore
gon, according to the preliminary
estimate, have the largest pear pro
ductions on record with the excep
tion of the 1930 season when 4,463,-
000 and 3,165,000 bushels, respec
tively, were produced. According to
reports from the Yakima valley,
Washington, there was considerable
droDDinor of both Bartlett and late
pears during picking season. The!
pear crop in Hood River valley, Or
egon, was the largest ever harvested
despite deterioration from frosts
and infestation of late coddling
worms.
PRUNES (For Drying) : The pre
liminary estimate of dried prune
production in Oregon and Washing,
ton exceed the estimated produc
tion for any year since the record
high season of 1929. The crop in
Southern Washington ripened well
and turned out much better than
expected. Weather conditions dur
ing harvest were very favorable in
the Willamette valley, Oregon, ex
cept for less from rain at the end
of the season. Considerable quan
tities were left In the orchards in
Washington county. In Southern
Oregon, the dried prune crop was
reported to be almost double that
of last season.
NUTS: There was an unusually
heavy production of walnuts In the
Willamette valley of Oregon. The
quality of the crop was fair to good
although sizes ran small. The esti
mate of the California crop has
been Increased to 51,000 tons, the
largest production on record. Ore
gon filberts were hurt badly by the
long dry summer and there Is a
large percentage of blanks.
UNITED STATES: With the ex
ception of late October freeze dam
age to apples In Washington, Ore
gon, and Idaho, and some Injury to
grapes In New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan and California by
freezes and rains, the month of Oc
tober was generally favorable for
fruit harvesting. The November 1
preliminary estimates of deciduous
fruit production In 1935 indicate a
total tonnage 3.6 per cent larger
than the five-year (1928-1932) av
erage, about IT per cent larger than
the production of 1933, and 25 per
cent above the small production of
1934. Apples, grapes, cherries, and
prunes for drying show larger-than-average
crops for 1935; peaches.
pears, plums, fresh prunes, and ap
ricots are below the five-year aver
age production. Some improvement
in citrus fruit prospects occurred
during October, with growing con
ditions generally favorable.
Total production of nuts, Includ
ing walnuts, pecans, almonds, and
filberts, is 45 per cent above the
five-year (1928-1932) average and
the production of 1934.

FIRMNESS IN
CEREAL VALUES
Chicago, Nov. 16 (IP) Wheat fu
tures held fairly steady on the
board of trade today and fluctuated
narrowly around the previous clos
ing levels.
At the close the major cereal was
cent a bushel lower to 1 cent
higher. Corn was down W to cent,
oats were unchanged to up M cent
and rye was to cents a bushel
lower.
Major foreign markets were some
what firmer today, but failed to
bring much support Into the Chi
cago pit. Eastern Interests took us
most of the contracts, while west
ern professionals were the most ag
gressive sellers.
Northwestern markets were little
changed. Cables from the Argentine
intimated the crop had not improv
ed within recent weeks to such an
extent as the decline In prices would
seem to indicate.
The Chicago open wheat interests
was reported at 130,825,000 bushels
an increase of 1,444,000 bushels.
Corn reacted on week-end evening
up. Oats remained steady, while rye
futures dipped on local sales.
Chicago, Nov. 18 VP) Firmness
Characterized wheat values In Chi
cago today. The fact that the Liver
pool wheat market closed abou:
steady helped somewhat to over
come nervous tension over uncer
tainties relative to contents of the
United States-Canadian trade pact.
Opening unchanged to 94 higher,
December 96-, Chicago wheat
futures rose soon all around. Corn
started M off to 54 up, December
and then climbed a little.
NO ECONOMY
IN CAPITOL BILL
Astoria, Nov. 16 VP) Senator
Frank Franciscovlch of Astoria told
the Astoria chamber of commerce
that "political Jockeying" by the
senate failed, and as a result Ore
gon's new state capttol will be on
the old site instead of a larger site.
He said the senate at the special
legislative session, wanted two
blocks to the north added to the
present site, so cut down the ap
propriation from 13. 500.000 to $2,
500.000 to use as a "lever" to gain
a site concession from the house.
"Unfortunately the Marlon county
delegation in the house, counted on
to oppose the low appropriation, be
came alarmed as the session's end
approached, and fearing there might
be no capltol bill at all, passed the
senate measure," Senator Francis
covlch said.
"As a result, taxpayers will prob
ably later have to raise more money
to complete furnishing and equip
ping of the capltol building and pay
dollar for dollar, whereas If the
$3,500,000 appropriation had passed,
45 cents on the dollar on the added
million would have come through a
federal grant."

YEARLY GAIN
SHOWN IN SALE
OF FARM CROPS
Washington, Nov. 16 (IP) An In
crease of $39,522,000 in the receipts
from sales of principal farm crops
of Oregon and Washington for the
first nine months of each year from
1932 to 1935 was shown today In
report of the bureau of agricultural
economics.
In both states the upturn was
continuous from 1932, the report
allowed, the greatest jump being
from 1933 to 1934 when the value
In Washington climbed from $51,
873,000 to $68,244,000 and in Oregon
from $30,589,000 to $37,649,000. The
bureau used the receipts from Jan
uary to August In each year for
comparative purposes and then in
eluded separate figures for the
month of September of each year.
The sales receipts for Washington
in 1932 were given at $48,002,000 with
a gradual increase to $73,007,000 in
1935. Those receipts did not Include
the governmental subsidies in the
form of rental and benefit payments
for crop and acreage reduction,
which did not start until 1933. For
Oregon the 1932 amount was $28,-
858,000 with a climb to $43,377,000 in
the first nine months of this year.
Benefit and rental payments
played a minor part In the increas
ed sales receipts In 1933, the first
year the payments were made. In
Washington benefit payments for
that year amounted to only $4000
and In Oregon to $2000. In 1934,
however, the payment were much
larger climbing to $4,317,000 In Wa
shington and $1,829,000 in Oregon.
There was a slight Ini'rease In the
governmental aid to farmers in
Washington In the first nine months
of thus year compared with the si
milar period of 1934, the amount
being $4,343,000. In Oregon, however,
by the same comparison, there was
a decrease In government aid to $1,-
294,000.
Gradual Increases In sales for the
month of September In each of the
compared years likewise were re
corded. These figures do not include
the government aid for any of the
years. In Washington the 1932 am
ount was $8,926,000 which was al
most double In September of this
year at $16,913,000. Oregon's Septem
ber of 1932 showed receipts of $5,-
833,000 with a rise to $8,754,000 In
1935.
FARMERS SURVEY
WEATHER INJURY
Hazel Green Farmers in this vi
cinity have been taking stock of the
damage the recent cold spell caused,
and most of them agree that the
damage Is not as extensive as fear
ed. Cabbage, broccoli and most of
the root vegetables are unharmed,
however, some kale suffered severe
ly In the low spots. Potatoes seem
to be unharmed, although those
near the surface of the ground are
somewhat nipped. There are a num
ber of fields that have not been dug
as yet, especially those planted late
and were not matured In time to
dig prior to the freeze. Fruit grow
ers In this district are optimistic
about the fruit tree damage. Most
of tne growers agree that the foli
age Is damaged but that the freeze
was not severe enough to stop the
flow of sap. Perhaps next spring
will tell a different tale, but Just
the smae most of the farmers are
glad that they are not celery grow
ers for they suffered a fearful loss.
BUTTERFAT PRICES

based on an average increase in

the last 13 months, and a state-wide
annual production of 100,000,000
