HARDEST HIT BY

II have had many inquiries from
growers as to the extent of damage
probably done to the fruit by the re-
cent cold snap" says C. l. Lewis. or
Eanization manager of the Oregon
Growers Cooperative Association.
Temperatures as low as is degrees
below zero were experienced during
fhe recent cold snap. which covered
the Southern and Western Oregon
country from Ashland to Portland
Tsoganberrles above the snow line are
probably killed, If we judge by the
season of 1908 when we experienced
zero weather. Even below the snow
kzne, we may find small amount of
damage to loganberries. since the tenn
peratures fell quite low even before
the deep snow. It is not however, to
be expected that growers whose ber-
ries are trained on wires win have no
fruit next year. The vines may throw
Dnt a large number of vigorous lat
erals below the snow line. as they did
an the season of 1908, and these will
hear considerable fruit. If the recent
low temperatures did not greatly in
Sure the loganberries. 1t would mean
that throughout tremendous area Of
siae United States, loganberries could
be produced on commercial scale,
and in way this would be bad news
for the growers of western Oregon

The other hand. the English walnut is
extremely tender when in foliage, and
some damage may have been done 70
young walnut trees and the tender
terminals on old trees, by the cold
snap which we had in October. Spring
weather win soon determine the
amount of damage done at that time.
Peach Injury.
"It is a little early to know the ex-
tent of injury to peach trees. If upon
cutting through fruit buds vita
sharp knife. growers find the center
is badly discolored. the chances are
that the buds are badly injured. The
peach has a very tender bud. but
there are usually SO many buds on the
tree that even with considerable dam
age, enough buds are apt to be left
for a fair crop. Little damage is TO
be expected where the trees and wood
are vigorous, but owing to the three
recent dry years, some of the peach
trees have not made very good grow
tn, and the buds may be too weak to
withstand much cold weather. Nursery
trees which were healed in and have
been covered with snow should not
be damaged. Some damage may be
found to the tops Of young trees plant
ed this fall and which were exposed
above the snow line. Some times a
form of winter injury produced by
the bright sunshine and cold together
is found at the snow line with young
trees. If such injury is determined in
time. the trees might be helped by
bridge grating this spring.
Damage From Rabbits.
Thousands of rabbits have been
driven by the cold weather and deep
snow, from their haunts in the woods
down into the orchard country. II
the snow continues. a great deal of
damage may be expected. Trees near
the outside of the orchard adjoining
the pastures and woodlands should be
carefully examined.
