A RECORD BREAKER
LARGEST CROP OF ALL KINDS OF
j r FRUIT EVER PRODUCED
i ; , IN OREGON
i The hop growers are In rather a good
hUmqr these days, feeling like patting
themselves on the back, because of the
upward tendency of the hop market.
The farmers wear a benignant, self
satisfied expression by reason of their
belief that this fall their graineries will
be filled to overflowing with large
crops of all kind of grains,, but the
fruit grower can be told as far as he
can be seen by" the broad smile which
he wears, yet they, are ail bustling
around very busily, and It Is very sel
dom one finds time for a very long
chat on the street corner. Thel outlook
Jsjlor one of the largest crops of fruit
W iill kinds, ever grown In the Willam- i
ette valley, and Mr. Fruft grower feels
homself, of all people, the most fortu
nate. ; Hop yards, or even bank have
no .'allurement for - him, and he only
wonders why all sensible people do not
flock to the Willamette valley and en
gage, in fruit raising. He feel sure
they, would unanimously say it Is the
long lost Paradise. r .. ;
J "Why." said C O. Constable, the
Rosed ale prune grower, yesterday, "we
are going to have the largest crop of
fruit ever, our prune trees are just
simply loaded. Our only worry is that
we don't know what we are going to
do with so many prunes, we haven't
nearly enough drier! capacity,, and; no
time to build more, and then material
Is so scarce and high priced we could
hardly build anyway. We are making
good use of these warm days cultivat
ing our orchards.,
Such is the story . told . by all the
prune men and is It any wonder their
countenances are wreathed ip smiles.
No section of the valley has so far
sent n any report of the least shortage
of fruit or Injury to the growing crop,
so the people of Oregon may prepare
to eat their fill of prunes this coming
winter., . .. .
. Walter Jenks. of the Fruit Growers
Association, said that some complaint
had been made to him about prunes
falling from the trees, but. said he, "if
none "of the prunes fell, the trees would
be overloaded and utterly unable to
bear the load, and besides he prunes
would be sc small as to be worthless.
There Is no cause for complaint, a
that is the only salvation of the crop."
The bloom was very heayv on ' the
Bartlett pear trees this season and al
though it Is" too early yet to tell the
final outcome, the prospect is for large
crop of this luscious fruit. As In the
case of the prunes, the pear blossom
are falling considerably, but there will
still be plenty left to" load the trees.
C. A. Park, manager of the Wallace
orchard, reports, that the prospects are
excellent for a large crop of pears and
apples in his orchard. He' thTnks the
pear trees will have all of the fruit
they will bear, but the apple trees will
not be so heavily loaded. This will In
sure larger, finer fruit. The apples In
the Wallace orchard are all of the
Spitzenberg variety.
' Probably the only fruit not looking
well are peaches. They were slightly
Injured by frost, as they bloomed very
early I nthe season, still a fair crop of
this delicious fruit Is expected.
The cherry trees of all varieties are
literally loaded with fruit, which Is now
past all danger of damage from any
cause. The cherries are now as large
as peas, and already begin to look eat
able. ! The small boys are reminded of
the stomach aches which they enjoy
each year when the cherries begin to
turn, and the older boys are thinking
about lying on the 'grass In the shade
of the trees eating the Juicy fruit, or
climbing for the choicest laden branch
es for their turtle doves. ,
