Fruit Growers Worried

Guthrie, Okla, March 23.-Frnt
growers in Logan county are in a
quandary about the outcome OF the
fruit crop this year, some OF the grow
ers believing that the recent cold
weather has killed the fruit buds,
which the few mild days had caused
to swell. At the meeting Of the Lo
gan county growers, a few days ago
one package house booked orders for
nearly 100000 bushel baskets for the
peach crop around Guthrie alone. 9th
er concerns have made even larger
bookings. Many shippers are already
here to contract for the early crop.
The buyers this year are insisting on
a much higher grade and stricter in
spection at the packing sheds. This
is what is veXing the growers for
they have in former years been inter-
ested only in the quantity OF the har-
vest, regardless OF the quality. Buy
ers announce that this year they will
bring their own graders and packers,
hoping thereby to secure a high grade
Of fruit.
