COUNTY FRUIT CROP
HAS BEEN |MPER|LED
so SAYS SUPERINTENDENT
OF EXPERIMENTAL FARM
II. W. Allen Declares Quality of
Fruit is Menaced by Failure of Or
chariists to Properly Thin Fruit
Usefulness of Trees Has Also Been
Impaired.

That the quality of Umatilla coun-
tvs fruit crop is menaced by the fail
ure of orchardists to properly thin
their fruit, is the statement made to,
day by r. W. Allen, superintendent
OF the Umatilla experiment farm at
Hermiston. Not only is the quality Of
this years crop in danger but the
usefulness of the trees for succeed
ing years is in grave danger of being
impaired.
Superintendent Allen says:
THE prospect of the present sea-
son is for a very heavy crop of fruit.
The trees, generally, are heavily
loaded, and as a result many are
breaking down. If the fruit had been
properly thinned this trouble could
have been avoided and the trees kept
in good shape.
TO prevent the breaking of trees is
a minor reason for thinning. but 1t
is the most readily noticed by most
people.
Fruit should be thinned 10 prevent
this breaking and destruction OF the
trees, to give the remaining fruit an
opportunity to develop properly,
which it can not do when the trees
are overloaded, and to not overwork
the trees and weaken them, thus max

ing them unfit for normal production
in ensuing years.

ing them unfit for normal production
in ensuing years.
ITO be done properly this work
should be started as soon as it is seen
that too much fruit has set on the
tee. or by the time it is as large as
thimble. If done at that time,
but little if any further attention will
be needed unless it is found that on
account of drought or weakness in
the tree it can not mature its crop
properly, it should be gone over again
and more fruit removed. This work
is more necessary on peaches, pears
and apples than on the other kinds,
and is especially needed this year.
Although it should have been done
earlier in the season for best results
to have been obtained, a great deal
OF good can be had from thinning at
this time. In fact many trees
throughout this part of the county
can't possibly mature the enormous
load OF fruit which they are now
carrying. If the present conditions
are allowed to prevail this years
crop will be a disappointment, for
the fruit, especially peaches and ap-
pies will not be of marketable size.
The varieties that are almost ma
ture can not be benefited, but the later
ones can.
The thinning should be done by
hand. Pick off the smaller and mis-
shapen stuff, leaving the rest, one in
a place. and from to inches apart.
Never leave two peaches or apples
to hang together. Should one be at
tackled by a moth, the other will
doubtless be attacked in a short time,
and two fruits are too much of load
fer one twig.
The extra load of this year is borne
to the expense of future crops, for
an overworked tree is very similar to
an exhausted animal. 1t requires
some time for it to regain its normal
vitality and fruitfulness whereas If
it is not overtaXed there is a posi-
bility that it will yield next year.
otherwise there is little chance of it.
The proper thinning of the fruit
coupled with systematic pruning
good cultivation and the proper am
cunt of water influence to a marked
degree the annual cropping and ul-
innate greater production of our or
chards"

CRANK CALLS
 AT CITY HALL
Mayor Won't Discuss Repeated Threat of Discharged Employe
"nOT WORTH WHILE" HE SAYS
Early Caller at City Hall Said to Have Intimated Gaynor's Fate Would be Buckingham's

Mayor Buckingham had considerable trouble reassuring the other occupants of the City Hall today when the ru- mor spread about the busy building that he had been threatened by a crank. The report was that a dis charged city employe had visited the mayor and had made many menacing remarks, intimating that the fate of Mayor Gaynor might be in store for Mayor Buckingham.
 Mayor Buckingham was questioned this noon. He would not discuss the matter. 'It isn't worth while dis cussing," he said. But when pressed for an affirmation or denial of the visit he said he must decline to talk any further on the matter.
 The mayor arrived early at the city hall today and received a large num- Der of visitors, more than usually frequent the mayoral office during the summer season. An effort was made to ascertain the identity of the supposed crank, but none of the city hall attaches could give the desired information.
 Mayor Buckingham did not regard the visitor with enough alarm to in form the police.

 According to Secretary Adamson, the doctors are now inclined to doubt that the bullet is split. They think that possibly one of the bIurs that show up on the x-Ray plate is not a piece of bullet but splinter of Mayor Gay nor's jawbone clipped off by the bull let.
 Samples of Mayor Gaynor's blood will be staken for examination daily from now on. So far the tests have shown no evidences of infection. Danger from this source is greatest just now and it is because of this fact that an operating sur~eon will be held within call for a week at least.
 The Mayor has difficulty in swallow ing but the doctors agree that this is to be expected and that he is doing fine

At 8 o'clock. the following bulletin. signed by Drs. Charles M. Dowd and William J. Ar titz, was given out:

 Dr. Dowd said today that arrange ments have been made to have an operating surgeon constantly in the Mayors room. This precaution is taken from apprehension that the bull let wound may show signs of infection at any time. necessitating an immedi- ate operation. There is no sign yet. pr.
