Apple Trees Have
Light Set of Buds

A bumper crop of soft fruits is
in prospect this season, a survey
of local orchards indicates, but the
apple crop will be rather spotty,
with most orchards having light
set of blossoms.
Cherries were damaged somewhat
and apricots to a Slight extent by
frosts during the past few weeks,
but not sufficiently to affect the
commercial crop, NJ P. Anglin,
horticultural Inspector.
A few orchards have a good set
of apple buds, but in most instances
the set is very hight, especially ON
the winesap trees.
Reports from either orchard dist
riots of the Northwest indicate that
the crops here will be similar to
the general average.

Reorganization OF
Cannery Under Way

i Approval Of the plan to reorgan>
ize the Cooperative Canning Ex-
change into a Farmers Cooperative
was unanimously voiced at a meet
ing last Thursday evening of stock
holders of the concern and valley
growers, and steps were taken this
week to draw up new set of by
laws and a constitution.
Another general meeting will be
called i'm the near future for final
approval of the new set-up.
Full details of the reorganization
have not yet been worked out, al
though it is expected that present
stockholders will retain their mem-
bership and growers who wish to
join may do so upon purchase of
a share of stock.
Further investigation of the can
nery's affairs discloses that the
concern is in much better shape
than was anticipated, w. j. Jen-
kins. secretary, states, and there are
sufficient canned goods in stock to
enable employees to secure their
full pay by taking produce. Fifty
per cent of their wages had pre-
viously been paid.

Floods Start Rise
In Columbia River

The annual rise of the Columbia
river was well underway this week
as a number of smaller rivers in
Washington and Idaho began to
overflow their banks after months
of abnormal precipitation and a
warm spell which melted the snow
on the lower levels of the noun
tain ranges.
Floods have driven many families
from their homes along the st.
Joe and other streams of central
and northern Idaho which empty
into the Columbia, while the town
of Mallot, located on the Okan-
ogan river, was reduced to a sham
bles when rising waters burst a
dam on Loop creek and swept
through the town.
The Yakima river is also in flooo,
with the bridges used by workmen
on the Roza project being damaged
to some extent by debris, and low
areas in and around Yakima, in
Guiding Riverside Park and the
area east of the Cascade mill being
under water, driving a number of
families from their homes.

High Peak

The peak level of the Columbia
river this season will be the highest
since 1888, according to the cllnaat-
illogical report issued by the u. S..
weather. bureau, with an estimated
crest of about 81 feet at Portland
harbor if normal temperatures and
precipitation obtain during the re-
mainder of the spring, or sons
what higher crest should a pro
longed warm spell occur late in
May or early in June, or if un-
usually heavy precipitation con-
tinues.
The 1888 peak at the Coyote
pumping plant was 1888 feet, in
1884 was 5248; 1885, 523.8 and 1886,
$3.50 feet.
Although the winter has been
unusually mild, says the report, a
large amount of snow has accunl>
ulated in the higher mountains,
and it has a high water content.
The rainfall over the Columbia

parts of the basin the soil is well

Test for Joe Louis

This month joe Louis, world
heavyweight champion boxer. is sche
duled To meet a new test IN his re-
turn engagement with Max Schnlei-
ing Of Germany. This is the one fight
that is aronsing international interest
because of the many emotional as
well az professional factors involved.
Joe las been defeated by Schmel-
inQ-a sensational defeat, just when
the opinion was all but unanimous
that Joe would win in a walk. Since
his defeat, however, joe has come
back as spectacularly as he went
down - to gain the heavyweight
crown and to hold it like Il real
champion. But his latter triumphs
have been without benefit Of Schmel-
Ing. Now, with the fstic sroWn
perched firmly on his head, joe faces
again the one man who made him
take the count.
These are the professional factors.
On the emotional side, Joe is the
first Negro to hold the heavyweight
title since Jack johnson, and the
second only 10 the history of the
prize ring. Between Jack Johnson
and Joe Louis, many good Negro
boxers were not given a chance at
the title for reasons other than pro-
fessional. But now a colored man
has fought his way back, without
blcmish to his reputation. He is well
liked by all fans, and he deports him
self like gentleman
On the other hand, Joe's opponent
comes from country where it Is
the current creed 81 disparage people
not Of their kind. Even Joe's OPP
ponent has been quoted as talking Of
his psychological superiority" over
the Brown Bomber. But all Of this
seems calculated to hcighten the box
office value Of the bout. A great
many scores apparently are to be
settled. Whether Joe viii win with
his fists, or be beaten by p. ychology
remains to be seen. But barring
freak accidents. we should have the
! same heavyweight champion month
from now as we have today.

Part of this exhibit will be an office, located in the base of a huge replica of a radio tube at the front of the building, for receiving and sending mes- Sages. The other part, consisting of a large, circular animated dio- rama, is being installed around the lower section of 250-foot an- terna tower at the side of the building. The diorama will show how radio communication works and the path taken by radio wave in circling the globe.

OIL PAINTING FOR
 FORMER DIRECTOR
Mt. Manresa Retreatant Band of Waterbury Sends
 Gift to Father Duane

A beautiful oil painting of the late Cardinal Hayes of New York city was presented yesterday to Rev. William J. Duane, s. J., former presi- dent of Fordham university and for mer director of the Mt. Manresa re- reatants' home on Staten Island. The painting was the work of Pro- lessor G. Ruggiero Of Waterbury and was presented to Father Duane as a gift from the Waterbury retreatant band. The presentation was made on behalf of the local unit by Roger Walsh and Patrick Winters. The two Waterburians attended mass at St. Francis Xavier church on West Sixteenth street yesterday morning and met Father Duane in the rec tory following the services.
 Father Duane sent his best wishes and the seasons greetings to his many Waterbury friends, especially
