Fruit Man Alarmed Over Weather.
VANCOUVER, Wash. March A.
Clark county fruit men are apprehen-
sive lest the present warm weather
continues long enough to endanger
the fruit crop. There Is some danger
of the trees budding out under the
influence of continued warm weather
to such an extent that freeze or a
continued cold rain month later
would prove disastrous. UP to this
time the winter has been most faoYr-
able for the orchards, and the pros
poets for a big crop the coming
season were never better.
