HOT WEATHER CUTS
THE FRUIT CROP
State Department Says Drought
Has Caused Lowering of the
Former Estimates

July 5th the state department of ag-
riculture issued a crop estimate re-
port based upon the observation of the
horticultural inspectors in their var
! ious districts and information gathered
from growers, shippers and represen-
tatives of different shippers organiza-
tions. .-.... s.--s..--.- . ..s.
At this time the department is able
to give a more detailed report of the
tree fruits and have also gathered ac-
reage statistics of such crops as po-
tatoes, corn, peas, beans, onions, to-
matoes, cabbage and some others.
July and August are the months
which in great measure control the
quantity and condition of the fruit
crop. The month of July has been very
dry and in some places the drought
has affected the fruit to the extent
, that it will be understood. This fact
has in some instances lowered the ear
lier estimates.
The codling moth has been very act
i've in some localities and only those
growers who have followed a drastic
campaign with the spray pump have
been able to prevent a heavy loss. In
poorly sprayed orchards, the loss will
be heavy because the shipping of the
wormy apples is violation of the law
and an open worm sting" causes an
infection of fruit which is equally
barred from shipment.
The effects of the dry weather has
been such that the damage from fung-
GUS and bacterial troubles will be very
slight, and in well sprayed orchards
it is reduced to the minimum.
The cherry and small fruit crops
are about harvested in most sections;
hence only a few localities are includ-
ed in this report.
In the Yakima district including the
counties of Yakima, Kittitas and Ben
ton, the drought has seriously affected
some orchards which will prevent the
fruit from developing to a normal size.
This explains the difference between
the earlier estimate and the new fig
ureS.
The estimate shows total of S,145
cars of apples for the three counties
and 2,710 cars of other fruits. Ben
ton county is credited with 572 cars
of apples, $50 peaches, 121 pears, 10
prunes and plums, 20 cherries, 3 april
cots and 35 grapes.
The southwestern Washington dis
trict including Lewis, Pacific, Mason,
Thurston, Grays Harbor, Klickitat,
Skamania, Clark, Cowlitz and Wahkia-
KUN counties, will probably ship about
100 cars of apples. White Salmon is
sending out about 60 cars of both
Newtowns and Spitz. Underwood pro-
misses Is cars of Newtowns and seven
of Spitz. The balance is quite gener-
ally distributed among the smaller of
the shipping points. These counties
will ship about 40 cars of pears, LOG
cars of plums and prunes and 81 cars
of cherries, sweet and sour, combined.
Clark county's prune crop is little
short and will probably not exceed 20
carloads.
Northwestern Washington including
King, Pierce, Kitsap and the other
northwest counties will produce about

SPECIAL SERVICE AT
 METHODIST CHURCH

Special service for all the young men between the ages of twelve and twenty eight It is the desire of the pastor to bring message to the young men and boys of Malvern that will be for their good.
 The pastor has never forgotten that he was once boy and once a young man, and now each day his love for the boy and young man grows deeper sweeter and more tender. And in view of the facts just stated we have a "passion as deep as the soul! for the boys of our country.
 Now cordial invitation is extended to all boys and young men of the town to come and hear what we have to say to you on next Sunday at eleven o'clock
 Furthermore, we want the fathers and mothers and sisters of these boys
  and young men to be present also. If fathers and mothers will advise with their boys about this special service perhaps they will take to it more readily than they would otherwise. There are three things that we want to talk to the boys and young men about, each of which is vital to them It is not my purpose to abuse any boy or young man, but out of the love of my heart to speak to you words that will help you in life.
 I only want to be a help and not a hurt to one and all Come thou with us and we will do thee good"
