imilar fate, and the trees in the 1
hrifty growing varieties such as
loyal Anne cherries and Bartlett pears
ave also suffered. In the case of
ardler trees, such as the Duke cher

imilar fate, the bark on the bodies of
many of them being loose from freez-
ng. In the Red hill district the fruit
} only injured in the low and unpro.
ected places. Some places the tops ,
f the trees are badly frozen, but not
nough to injure the tree.-Oregonian.
