PORTLAND, Ore., May 10. (fP) Orchard prospects in the North west lire generally good, particu larly for apples and pears, accord ing to a crop summary Issued by F. L. Kent, regional statistician of the department of agriculture. The Oregon situation as reports ed by Paul C. Newman, is as fol lows: "Oregon tree fruit prospects are generally excellent. Apples . und pears particularly promising. Re vere winter freeze on peaches has materially reduced peach prospects in Wasco county and apricots have also been dumuged to n largo ex tent In this area. Peaches In southern Oregon have escaped ser ious frost damage and prospects are fair to good. Prune prospects, which appeared excellent following an nbundnnce of bloom, now ap pear doubtful with failure to set. Lowland prunes are particularly disappointing and higher orchards, although better than those on low lands, are below average. Al though too early to tell definitely about the set of apples, there was an abundance of bloom in all sec tions and unusual efforts were made to insure pollcnlzatlon. Weath er during pollenation was fair. There hna been no frost damage reported on apples. Pears are set- . ting so thick in the principal pear sections that thinning will be nec; essary. Pear prospects nt tho pres ent time are the beat on record. Since May 1 there ban been cons Blderable cold rain, with some hall In certain' localities,.1 There ' has been some frost in western Oregon and western .Washington since May L wlthrsome damage to strawber ries, but tree fruits do not appear to have been affected.
