orchardists Fear Freezing.

Delta.-Fifty odd cars of apples
have left Delta daily for over a week
and the harvest is but fairly started.
Every available man is at work in
the orchards, but there are not enough
and orchardists fear freezing weather
and snow will catch them with
large part of the crop not gathered.
To date the county has shipped about
400 cars of apples and over a thou
sand cars of peaches and early fruits.
The 100000 cantaloupe crop is on the
move, but much of it is held up for
want of cars. Late potatoes are going
out rapidly and it is thought the years
crop will go above the early s500,000
estimate.

this fall to find that places that have
