SEATTLE: Berry growers and shippers
of Puget Sound noting with some con
Germ the advices that Australian jam is NOV

are responsible for the heavy imports. More
than 10000. 900 pounds of these jams have
already been sent across the water since
the beginning of the war Whether these

Yakima Valley during the falling tempera-
ture ofthe last two days. The temperature
dropped to twenty-six in the Euclid district,

trees are so heavily loaded that If one bios
som out of every twenty-five is saved the
valley will have normal crop.
PRossER: County Horticulturist J. W.
presses the opinion tint damage to fruit is
much lessthan most people had estimated
from frost OF Friday night and that grow
ers were more scared than hurt He states
that 30 per cent OF the blossoms could be
killed, and yet there would be all the apples
that most trees could bear. Fruit buyers
are more optimistic today. All agree that
it will be several days before the extent of
the frost damage can be known. They pre-
diet heavy tonnage, and unless later dam
age is sustained thinning will be necessary.
A. M. Nyberg, fruit buyer, says that
the frost caused greater loss the north
side of the Yakima River than on the south
side. Delicious and Winesap apples and
peaches and pears were hardest hit.
