PEACH CROP WILL BE HUGE.
Ranchers Believe That Total Yield
Will Be Double That of
Year of 1908.

Indications are that the peach crop
of the Yakima valley will be an i'm
mense one in 1910, the yield being
about double that of 1908 If favor
able conditions continue, according
to some of the leading ranchers living
near North Yakima.
Should the prospects all be realized.
and there is no fear that conditions
will change SO as to cause much
damage, these ranchers say that the
transportation facilities will be taxed
to their full capacity, and that the
Northern Pacific railroad and the ex-
press company will have a season
that has never before been known in
this section.
w. N. Irish, president Of the Yaki-
ma Horticultural Union, and w. M.
Nelson made an inspection of one of
the Mob Hill orchards on Monday and
found the buds In excellent condition.
w. N. Richards says that similar con-
ditions prevail In Fruitvale. The re-
ports from Parker Heights and the
Sunnyside country are along the same
line.
There are several reasons for the
possibility of a heavy increase in the
crop for 1910. One is that practically
all of the orchards had rest during
1909. and that the result Is a better
development Of fruit buds. Another
is that hundreds of acres of young
peach trees are just coming into bear
ing, while the older trees have had
an increased growth.
Conditions relative to the apple
crop are similar to the peach crop
prospects. The fruit growers say that
the weather for the winter has been
the very best, as far as orchard care
is concerned, and that the only dam
age could result from below-zero
weather and even then the tempera-
ture would have to be very low to
cause much loss
