Fruit blossoming was promising in most cases, the report said, but unfavorable weather conditions in terfered with pollinization and the et of fruit has been disappointing; The prevalence of cold, damp weather has caused an unusually heavy infectation of aphis. Thrlp a maze to prunes has been severe. Some winter damage also was reported, especially where trees had not recovered from the damage brought bv the bad freeze tn the fall of 1935. Late frosts were ex pected to cut the Oregon crop somewhat, but frost damage in Washington was not so extensive The condition of the apple crop in both Oregon and Washington was estimated at from 8 to 13 points better than June 1, 1936, but in both states it was two to four points below the 10 year average The peach crop Is not promising in cither Washington or Oregon, the report said. Wet weather and aphis have ruined any prospect tnat the Washington crop might approach last year's record-break ing yield.

Frost and failure of the trees to recuperate from the damaging freeze of 1935 were also blamed. General prospects for a good pear ciop In Washington were con sidered favorable. Frost damage was not extensive, although cold and dampness at blossom time reduced the set of fruit in all districts. Cold rainy weather during the blossom time were blamed also for a probable shortage in the Oregon Bartlett pear crop, but the Oregon winter pear crop holds promise of coming up to average, according to tU report. The prune crop in both Oregon and Washington was considered unpromising, although the lateness of the season made it difficult to estimate how great the shortage would be.

The crop bloomed heavily in most districts, but unseasonable dampness interfered with pollinization. Despite heavy blooming, the cherry crop in the two states did not hold promise of coming up to average. Generally, sour cherries were considered to show better prospects than sweet varieties. Late frost did considerable damage to the Oregon crop. CALIFORNIA HAY DAMAGED BY RAIN San Francisco, June 16 fP) The heaviest spring rain in northern California in recent years today damaged the Sacramento valley hay crop, caused losses in orchards and loosened rock slides on the Waldo (north approach to the Golden Gate bridge.

Highway crews quickly cleared away the debris. Cherry orchards also were dam aged by the heavy rain which split unpicked cherries. CO-OP ELEVATORS TO BE LIQUIDATED Washington, June 16 (U.R) The farm credit administration stated today that Elevator properties of the Farmers National Grain cor poration, in 10 states will be liqui dated, but emphasized that "the organization as a whole is a going concern. Charles Stewart of the farm credit administration staff said the corporation was "rearranging Its affairs and would concentrate its functions in the southwest, midwest and territory around Minneapolis. Minn.

He said that operations of the Farmers' National in the far north west had been unprofitable and tiiat "in all probability" a branch office at Portland, would be closed by June 30. He added that 'to all Intents and purposes" other offices at Spokane, and Og- den, Utah, have been closed. OREGON PROJECTS NOT ENDANGERED Washington. June 16 iT. Senator Frederick Stelwer said today the Byrns amendment, which would require local contributions of 40 per cent toward the cost of WPA project, would not endanger the Wolf creek and Wilson river highway projecu if adopted.

The proposed amendment to the relief bill would apply only to projects started during October or thereafter, the senator said. Steiwer predicted that the wanted for state capltol Improvement In Oregon would be made available under the Hayden amendment, which would extend the life of the PWA and provide for obtaining funds from the RFC. STATION OPKNED North Howell Llbby, McNeil and Lilly receiving station at the old cheese factory was opened Monday with some growers picking. Others mill start Wednesday.

Sllverton Mrs. Abe Kennedy submitted to a major opera uon Tuesday morning. She has been under medlcaj observation for several day. N. C.

Hubbs, W. W. Rosebraugh. Fred Anunsen, Paul R. Hendricks and Hugh Rogers, the petition was approved without opposition and the change was recommended to the city council.

City Recorder A. Warren Jones, who is secretary of the planning and zoning commission, says all legal requirements were compiled with in the proceedings of the commission. At tne city council meeting Monday night, June 7, a public hearing was held on the question as required by the ordinance, the property owners within 300 feet of the proposed change being notified of the hearing. Bonesteele presented his case and had the support of the persons from whom he had purchased the property, abo of John H. Scott, property owner at the same intersection.

The opposition was represented by a number of persons, all residents of the district. M. L. Meyers appeared with a petition of remonstrance signed by 23 property owners of the district, or about 60 per cent of those within the 300-foot radius. This petition has since become a subject of controversy.

Bonesteele says that a substantial number of the signers have withdrawn theix protest since being informed of details of his project. On the other hand opponent of the project deny that there has been any substantial withdrawal. Since the petition and other records are in the hands ol Alderman Fred A. Williams, chairman of the ordlnanpe committee of the city council, and Williams is out of the city today, no accurate check could be made on the present status of the petition. The ordinance bill providing for the zone change was read lirst and second times and referred to the ordinance committee.

If it is reported back by the committee it will be voted on at the meeting of the city council next Monday night. Opponents of the project said today they had been reiused on grounds that they had their hearing befort the city council. Bonesteele, in his appearance the hearing, said he proposed to erect a $30,000 building, and that building and premises would not be unsightly. Mention was made thai the stale probably would rent motor vehicle storage space in the building, but there is so far nothing in writing on this point, it was said at the state board of control offices today. The new corporation is known a.

Wallace H. Bonesteele, Inc. Other names appearing as Incorporators are Gertrude G. Bonesteele, his wile, and Custer Ross, an attorney. Ros said today he knew nothing of Bone- steeles plans and that he merely ac cepted one share of stock so as to qualify as an incorporator, so the legally required number of incorporators would appear on the application to the state corporation department for articles of incorporation.

The purpose of the corporation as set out in the articles in general, it would permit a general business dealing in automobiles, trucks, fuel and accessories, a garage business, and would enable the corporation to act as an agency. A similar situation to the present one arose a year ago when an effort was made to change the zone of the Scott property on the northwest cor ner of Court and 12th. This brought from the state capitol commission a request that building restrictions around the capitol" site be left unchanged, at least until the state legislature met again. Notice of this desire of the commission reached the city council at a meeting July 6, 1930, and at the same meeting the council voted, on motion of Alderman Brazier C. Small, to table the petition for the zone change until the capitol commission decided definitely on Its building program.

RAIN DAMAGES SOME CHERRIES Witrt fruit buyers making a more or leos general survey to ascertain what damage was done to cherries by the rains no complete reports are in yet but cherries were brought into the plant of Willamette Cherry Growers today which showed a fair percentage of cracks. These were the early Bing varieties which are probably the only ones showing ma terial damage, it being the impression the Royal Annes are still in a little too early a stage for much cracking, although some fruit men said there was possibility of even damage being done to the Annes. A few of the soft white early cherries ore coming in on deliveries for barreling purposes but it will probably be the middle of the next week before any very material sized deliveries for barreling are on hand when it is expected Royal Annes and blacks both may be coming in.

For canning purposes It Is likely to be the first of the month before the Annes are under way to any extent. Strawberries coming in now are looking good and the rain, it is expected, will be a very material benefit to these later berries and much more than offset any slight loss that may be caused by the rotting of ripened berries hit by the moisture. ALBANY COLLEGE PROGRAM ADOPTED Portland. June 16 A pro gram to give permanent status to the Portland unit of Albany col lege and eventually convert It into a full four year institution with reduction of the parent college at Albany to a two year school received the approval today of the Portland presbytery. The presbytery acted upon the recommendations of a special synod committee but formal action upon the program can only be taken by the synod at its annual meeting, which will be held next month In Eugene.

The action of the presbytery constituted an expression of feeling to the synod from the northwestern group of counties, including Clat sop and Tillamook, which compose the district. Reports at the meeting here In dicated that Willamette valley Pres byterians probably would oppose the program vigorously. Grain Corporation To Quit Northwest Chicago. June 16 tP. W.

(Associated Press Photo.) PLAN LOVEFEAST OF DEMOCRATS Washington, June 16 (U.R President Roosevelt and congressional leaders today arranged to hold a democratic "peace and love feast" on an Isolated island in Chesapeake Bay over the June 35-27 week-end. The democratic goodwill huddle was arranged to provide an opportunity for a private discussion of Issues which have arisen between the President and his congressional leaders. The gathering will be held at the swanky Jefferson Island sports club a social organization of senate and house democratic members. The three-day session was planned by Mr. Roosevelt and legislative leaders to make the President available during three days and nights for Individual conferences with all of the 407 democratic members of the senate and house.

All members of the cabinet except Secretary of Labor Frances Per-knis, and heads of Independent agencies with problems on their hands, also will attend. House Secretary Stephen Early said.

P. Fleming, general manager of the States Steamship company, said today that the corporation will withdraw its three white passenger boats, General Lee, General Sherman and General Pershing, from the oriental service on June 30.

The last scheduled sailing will be on June 39, when the General Pershing leaves for the orient. The company has a charter on the three vessels which does not expire for more than a year but the crafts probably wtll be returned to their owner, the United Fruit company.
