FRUIT CROP DAMAGE

The bright prospects for a
bumper fruit crop existing in the
Maryland territory up to week
or so ago have gone glimmering.
Out of the maze of report re-
ceived from all portions OF the
afflicted territory, there seems a
reasonable ground to believe,
says John S. Dennee, agricul-
tural statistician for the United
States Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates, cooperating in
statistics with the Extension
Service of the University of
Maryland, in a statement made
public recently that the final out
turn may not be so bad as at
first thought; and that after the
June drop good deal more will
be known about the resultant
damage from the unreasonable
frosts and freezes. Not few
orchardists have since taken
stock of their trees and discuss
ed among themselves frankly but
not pessimistically the injury
done; and while it is conceded
that the damage was bad enough
and a hard blow to the fruit men
the demage may not be irrepar-
able in those sections where the
trees were heavily blossomed,
as enough-blossoms yet remain
to assure fairly good yield. In
northern and western Maryland
the crops were pushed ahead
some two weeks by the unseason-
ally warm weather at the begin
ming of April, and in this area or
chardists are practically unit in
the belief that substantial dam
age was done some of the fruit
the blossoms of which in many
orchards gave promise of large
crop. 1t has not been possible
up to this time to ascertain to
the fullest extent the monetary
damage to the fruit, but general
opinion appears to be that it
will not be small.
Orchardists' reports appear to
indicate that the fruit crop will
be ''spotted"- ruined in
some sections and but only part
tally damaged in others. Serious
damage to the early apples and
less damage to the late crop are
indicated. Peaches, pears,
cherries and the like, which
were generally in bloom, were
hard hit in the valleys and low
lands, those on the mountain
sides faring somewhat better,
with a fighting chance" of sur
viving with little or no damage,
according to location and severity
of the cold spell,
Summary report of Prince
Georges County is as follows:
(Beltsville) Grapes killed, Straw
berries nearly all killed. Peach
es, pears, plums and cherries
probably all killed. Apples Sc
verely injured. Vegetables Sc
verely injured. (Bowie) Apple
blooms appear to be appear to be
about Is p. C. killed, but the
trees are so full of blooms that
there are yet enough for a full
crop of apples. What peaches
there were badly injured,
Early strawberry blooms killed;
leaves on grape vine killed. (Clin-
tom Apples, peaches, pears ap-
parently not seriously harmed,
but cannot, of course, tell how
they will be affected in the June
drop. Early strawberries gone.
(Hyattsville) Peaches on higher
ground seem not injured, cherries
s lightly damaged. Straw berries
badly damaged on low ground.
Graeps for the most part ruined,
except for secondary growth

Tax Cut Plans To Be
Talked In William.

Williston, N. D., Jan. 30.-On
March II a meeting Of delegates from
each school board and each township
board in the county will be held at
the court house in Williston for the
purpose of discussing ways and means
OF. reducing taxes. County Auditor F.
A. Hoare, County Treasurer Earl
Swimley Inc Superintendent of
Schools Hitler are making arrange.
ments for the meeting.
The county commissioners were in
session In Williston last week and dis.
cussed the question of reducing taxes
in the county with the auditor, treas.
urer and superintendent of schools.
Messrs. Hoare, Swimley and Hitler
vii! devise a plan or possibly several
outlines and present them to the dele
gates on March II. Each school board
and township board is to select one
OF their members to represent the
board at the March meeting.
The commissioners discussed the
question of cutting salaries paid to
Office employees in the court house, as
a means of reducing taxes, but de-
clded tina the. salaries could not be
reduced. During the discussion it was
ought out that salaries in Williams
county are already lower than what is
oelng paid in most counties in the
state for the same classes of work.
The fact that reductions in salaries
would not materially affect taxes was
also brought out,

Commissions Report
On State Industries
Expected This Week

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 3O.-The an
nual report required by law from the
North Dakota industrial commission
will probably be made some time dur
ing this week.
Lewis r. Crawford. secretary of the
commission. is now engaged in its
preparation. and expects to have it
completed within the course of the
next few days.
While none of the facts in the re-
port have as yet been made public, it
is known that it will be an unpleasant
surprise to the citizens of the state in
many ways. as it will show losses in
the conduct of the state industries by
the Nonpartisan league administers
ton which will be even heavier thar
at first reported.
A separate report on the State Ex-
detrimental Creamery at Werner. N,
D.. which has never been properly
audited up to the present time. is be
ing prepared under the direction OF
J. A. Kitchen, commissioner Of agri-
culture and labor. The preparation
of both reports is being seriously
handicapped by the absence from the
records of many papers. details. etc.
which appear to have been either re:
moved or "lost" by the league admin
istration.
