Predicts Bumper Crop of Apples. 



-M. L. Dean, in rharge of the State- 

 Horticultural Department, after a trip 

 that began in the upper end of the Yak- 

 ima Valley and took him to Kennewick, 

 states that the apple crop of the valley 

 gives every indication of being equal 

 to the bumper crop of 1919, trees ap- 

 pearing not to have suffered any serious 

 damage last winter. Mr. Dean stated 

 that the backward spring has had a 

 tendency to retard blooming, which is 

 encouraging. Mr. Dean was of the opin- 

 ion that there will be a fairly good crop 

 of cherries and all fruit except peaches 

 and apricots, which will be light.
