to depend exclusively on Archangel for

The message is a cablegram from
Commercial Attache Baker at Petrograd
In prosaic, concise form this skeletonized
communication from the Russian capital
pictures none the less wildly a situation
that Is unique in the annals OF world
commerce. Mr.. Baker, having returned
from a visit to A%rchangel. pictures this
place as one of the great commercial
centres OF the world, almost as busy a
port as New York.
Opening for American Goods,
Since last May nearly 90. 900. 900
POUNDS OF wheat have been exported

illustration OF what tremendous auanti-
ties OF American goods can still he

1915 Fruit Crop
Promises We'll

Everything points to record
breaking pear crop in 1915. While
the frost danger has not passed by
any means, there is reason to believe
that there will be no freeze" and
present smudging facilities can take
care of any reasonable drop in tenn
perature. With March passed with
out any material damage, the con-
sensus of opinion among local ranch
ers is that there will be little frost
damage this season, although this
feeling has not lessened the prepara-
tions to fight frost, by any means.
The largest previous pear crop in
the history of the valley was that of
1913, when 435 cars were shipped,
According to conservative estimates
there will be at least 700 cars of
pears shipped in 1915. Many ranch
ers predict SO0-a jump to nearly
twice, the former record.
The Yellow Newtown crop looks a
trifle short this year, and as the
young trees coming into bearing are
mostly pears the apple increase will
be relatively small. In 1913, SCI
cars of apples were shipped. This
number will probably not be exceed
ed if it is reached in 1915, but the
total in all probability of pears and
apples will reach at least 1900 cars
while the more sanguine predict
1900.
