Perry.) I QEUY CAUSED IN FOLIATION, SMS III Other Deciduous Crops Also to Be Affected, Chaffey Man Avers in Report (Snecial Staff Corresnnndence) ONTARIO, Feb. 14. In his seventh annual forecast, released today, George P. Wcldon, Chaffey Junior colege pomologist, predicted another season of extremely low production for Southern California peach ranchers. Pointing to the fact that the average mean temperature for last December and January was 53.7 degrees, only a half degree under that for the same months of the year 1939-40, which qualified as the warmest winter In 16 years, Weldon forecast a serious situation during the coming spring in regard to delayed foliation.

CUTS PRODUCTION Studies conducted by the Chaffey pomologist over a period of years have proved that delayed foliation, due to mild weather during December, January and the first two weeks of February, unfailingly results in extremely light production or virtual crop failure for suscepti ble peach varieties. And while his forecast is issued primarily for the benefit of peach growers, otner southland deciduous crops, such as aminnts nricots and plums, are similarly affected by the mild weather, Weldon said. While relating that any average mean winter temperature above 50 degrees presages a serious delay in foliation, Weldon in his present forecast foresees some hope for slightly Improved conditions due to the fact of high relative humidity, 60.5 per cent, and low percentage of sunshine, 63 hours, during December and January, which he said will in some measure offset the influence of high temperatures. In recognition of the fact that mild southland winters cut production for ordinary peach trees, Chaffey college has for years been active in developing varieties unaffected by delayed foliation. NOTABLE PEACH Notable among these is the Bab-cock peach, more than 400 acres of which are now bearing in the Ontario district, which last year sold from $120 to $180 a ton, while other varieties were bringing around $25 a ton, and brought a return to ranchers here of better than $50,000.

In his forecast, Weldon recommends the immediate pruning of Babcocks and other "sure cropper" varieties, but in the case of trees susceptible to delayed foliation, advised ranchers to delay their spraying and pruning until affects of the warm season are more apparent.

HUBBHANCHTQ OF HGED FOR 01,11 Transfer of Staff to S. B. Reported Likely; Change Expected on Monday Is Possibility that the Colton office of the slate relief administration will be closed and its staff transferred to San Bernardino was confirmed yesterday by Mrs. Walter W. Douglass, supervisor of the branch establishment.

She stated that a decision in the matter will probably be made today by district officials of the administration. The closing, if it is ordered, will become effective Monday. Curtailment of funds for the support of the S.R.A. and a resultant reduction of staff personnel throughout the system were given as reasons for the possible elimination of the Colton branch.

Douglass said. The number of workers has varied during the time the establishment has been in existence, but at one time there were as many as 21 members of the staff. They included both clerical and case workers. The S.R.A. branch was first established in Colton in 1933 and operated in the community until 1936.

At that time another curtailment in funds was experienced, and the staff was transferred to the Gate city and handled Colton cases from that point, IN KNAPP BUILDING In March, 1937, the office was reestablished in the Knapp building at 231 North Eighth street, where it has remained to the present time. The city of Colton has cooperated with the project by paying rental for the office space. The S.R.A. staff is responsible for relief clients not handled through the W.P.A. or other similar agencies.
