Hermiston had to take heavy losses

APPLE CROP REDUCED
BY EARLY MATURITY
Wenatchee, Wash.— A complete sur
vey of north central Washington fruit
district made by state and federal of
ficials, field i-gents, railroad inspec
tors, shippers and growers, Indicates
that from 3 »00 to 4000 cars of apples
have been lost as a result of early
maturity of the crop
As the fore
casts of the size of the crop varied
from 18,000 to 19,000 cars, this would
reduce the final yield to between 15,-
000 and 10 000 cars. The general be
lief is that the crop would have over
run estimates slightly but for the Ices
from dropping, so 16,000 cars is ac
cepted as the outside limit by the
shippers.
Expert opinion Is nnanimous that
no Injury whatsoever was done to ths
apples romalnlng on the trees at the
time of the recent cold weather. Care
ful tests have been made to determine
whether any possible damage was sns-
tained and none has been detected ex

weather was more severe than ia the
