WASHINGTON, May 10. (TP) ,

thf'se same cities totaled 0,409,

a gain of 19.6 per cent. This ap

counteracted by tho complete re
port of cities of more than 100,

shown a trend to slow down In
growth.
While more than hulf the cities
of 10,000 or more have reported,
only about on-thhd of tho cities
of 100,000 or more are included
in that number. In 1920 there

Orchard prospects in the North

the department of agriculture.
The Oregon situation as reports

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
