The Dalles Peach
Crop Said Damaged
The Dalles, Ore., Feb. 7 (U.R)
Sub-zero weather may have
eliminated all possibility for a
peach crop this year, growers in
The Dalles area said today after
a week end survey of damage.
Full extent of the damage
probably won't be determined
until spring, but growers said
injury to buds left little doubt
that the crop had p but been
wiped out.
Examination of buds in many
instances showed a black color
inside, an indication of frost
kill. The normal color is green.
Growers said apricols appar
ently fared only slightly better.
Cherry trees were believed in
fairly good condition because of
their ability to withstand the
rigors of winter.

Demand For Lumber

high, local industry sources said
today. Coming out of a slump
last fall, markets have been ac

chances are that demand will re
main at a high level, it was re
ported. A few mills shut down for
overhaul and repair, and some
are down due to the lack of logs,
although others are cutting from
their storage decks. The situa

year, according to lumbermen.
Loggers are only waiting for a
break in the weather, and for
full load limits on highways, to
resume operations. Despite the
recent severe weather, logging
is still possible in some low-lying
areas. ''
