FROST BLIGHTS PRUNES.
NEW BUILDING FOR PACIFIC.
Chang* af W eath er Catches Fruit la
Blossom- Pears Also Affected.
University President H ints of Plans for
th * Future.
Albany—The prune crop of Linn
county will I mj almost an entire failure
this year, according to an orchaidist
who was in Albany a few days ago.
The froet that visited the valley caiue
at a very inopportune time for the
orchards. The cold weather that he'd
on until an almoet unprecedented late
date for this valley had kept the fruit
back until orchard ista were confident of
escaping the spring frosts that usually
catch the fruit in March, if at all.
But the warm weather during the first
week of April brought the fruit out
rapidly, and when the cold rains came
again, fruit of every description was in
full blossom. The heavy frost found
the fruit in full blossom and did much
damage.
The prune trees were well loaded
with blossoms, which had Iregun to fall.
A close examination of the trees re­
veals now that although the embryo
fruit within the blossom is green, yet
the fruitstem leading from the limb of
the tree is turning yellow.
This is
said to mean that the fruit will drop
from the tree just as soon as the prune
becomes large enough to add weight to
the stem. The dead stem can not l>ear
up any load. The statement of the
prunergower is that at least three-
fourths of the prunes are affected in
this way, and that orchardsits will do
well to save one-fourth of this vear’s
prune crop. As prunes constitute the
greater part of the fruit crop of the
county, the loss will fall heavily upon
fruitgrowers in this part of the valley.
Pears are affected in the same way.
The young pears were just l>eginning to
form when the frost came and were hit
jnst as hard as the prunes.
Apples are looking well at this time.
They were not affected eo seriously by
the late froet, and the trees are now
covered with blossoms that look healthy
and give every promise of developing
into fruit of Oregon’s usual excellent
varieties.
This ciop will, however,
depend largely on the weather during
the next two weeks. Another frost
such as that of recent date would in­
jure the apple crop.
Forest Grove— President W . N . Fer­
ri n has left for the East on an extended
trip in the interest* of the Pacific Uni­
versity. He will visit Chicago sud
other Eastern cities, and will not re­
turn before the middle of June.
lu
speaking of his trip Presideut Ferrin
said:
“ We were never more encouraged
over the prospeeta of the university
than at present.
Our finances were
never in a letter condition and every­
thing indicates an increase in the
school’s endowment in the near futuie
Although I do not wish to make a defi­
nite statement, 1 l*elieve that we will
erect several buildings before long.
We are planning to build one of the
largest and l«est equip(>ed gymnasiums
in the Northwest. We alto look for­
ward to n new science hall and will
provide a building for the exclusive
use of the literary societies and other
student organisations as soon as possi­
ble.”
