CONDITIONS OF CROPS.

Not the Most Encouraging Reports Are
Received Al the Portland Bureau.
Following is synopsis of the report
made from the crop-weather bureau in
Portland, dated May Is:
WESTERN OREGON.
The reports indicate that injury has
been done to the prune crop, especial
ly to the Italian variety. From some
sections the reports indicate an abso-
Lutte failure; from others, that fair
crop will mature. The bloom was as
full as usual, but when the fruit began
to set it also began to fall from the
trees. The Italian is the principal
variety of prunes grown, and short
crop in that variety means shortage
in the entire crop. The actual conGi-
tion cannot be determined for week
or two more. The injury is supposed
TO have been done by the February
freeze, assisted by the cold rains OF
April and May. The peach crop now
promises to be good in the southern
counties. but not an average in the
northern counties. Cherries are set
ting fairly we'll; while dropping pre-
walls, good crop is expected. April
cots and ounces are undoubtedly in
jured and shortage will result.
Pears and apples appear to be in about
normal con iition.
The grain crop is in good condition:
fall and winter sown grain are making
slow, but strong, growth. Spring
blowing and seeding continue. Much
Of the low land is yet too wet to plow.
Unless adverse conditions prevail
Turing June, the grain crop will be as
good as it usually. is, the spring acre
sge being greater than in normal
years.

EASTERN OREGON.

The grain crop is in nearly norm al
condition Stooling continues and a
healthy upward growth has COM
menced. Barley was injured TO some
extent by the frost on Friday morning.
Spring grain is generally above the
ground. The soil is very moist, and
unless hot winds prevail about July
1st, the grain crop will be nearly an
average.
The fruit crop continues in an un-
certain condition. The fruit bloom
was quite full, but fruit dropping sets
in after the bloom falls. The reports
from Hood river valley indicate that
the apple crop will be better than was
All sections report fruit
conditions unsatisfactory. Bloom is
commencing in the Grande Ronde
valley and over the plateau. The
actual fruit prospects cannot be de-
termined for several weeks more.
