S ubscription R ates One y e ar Six months . . - . - - $1.00 .50 Thursday, May 11, 1916 With reports current from all parts of the state of damage done to prune, pear and cherry crops by the present cold rains and cold weather, to date it looks as though Eastern Clackamas had escaped serious injury. Owing to the geographical and topographical local conditions, this part of the Willamette Val ley usually escapes the silver thaws, late freezes and other harmful freak weather condi tions. Eastern Oregon has already suffered a loss to its orchards from a silver thaw this month, with the Medford orchardists fighting 23 degree weather.

This information cannot be dis seminated until some commer cial organization is formed, which will take the lead.
