Keeping Track of Fruit Crop I'M
pOrtant Matter.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-"One of the weakest spots in
the whole fruit industry seems to be
the inability of both growers and buy
ers to get reliable information as to
the amount of fruit of given variety
in sight" says Professor C. |. Lewis,
horticuralist at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. 'This amount is very
often over estimated in consequence Of
which the buyer is afraid to take
hold of the market and low prices
result to the grower, when the fruit
would have sold more quickly and at
much better prices il the actual supply
had been known. The grower is not
always competent to estimate the
yield of his own crop. In some cases
it is'advisable for the growers associ-
alton to send out skilled estimator to
