142.000 crates last year and n ad
vonce of 844,000 crates from 1928 to
1932. the U. S. department of agrl
' culture forecast today.
. The state again will lead all oth
ers, producing 10 per cent of the na
tion's output. Washington will be
second with 892,000 crates, and the
total national yield will be IS per
cent greater than last year.
"Oregon ttrawberry prospects are
extremely spotted In all sections of
the Ute," the department said.
"A wide range In condition as well
in the amount of dainnge which
his occurred to date Is general. The
lower Willamette valley has come
through the fall and winter in better
shape than the central and upper
Willamette valley districts, the cen
tral portion being hurt the worst.
"In addition to fall drought and
winter cold, there is considerable
weevil, crown borer and spittle bug
damage, A late frost on the nights of
May 4 and 5 has taken a heavy toll
in the less favorably situated plant
ings. "Growers have attempted to con
trol the spittle bug by dusting and
it appears that these efforts have
been fairly successful. However, wea
ther conditions continue cold and
wet, very favorable to continued dam
age from spittle bugs. The season Is
late In all sections of the state."
In Oregon. 14.000 acres are planted
In strawberries, with an expected yield
per acre of 85 crates, against a na
tional average of 70.9 crates per acre.

stuccoing the outside. The "house
of tin" will be completed by midsummer.
