Vefe damage in Maryland and Dela ware, there will undoubtedly be some orchards located on high ground, prac tically what we would call in the mountain districts, that, being colder, had not bloomed out, and these may be spared and produce part of a crop; but with the strawberry crop cut off, the cherry crop missing, and other early fruits out of the way, there will be a keen, sharp demand for whatever is left. It is not the 3,000 car loads of fruit from the Pacific coast that sup plies the market, but it is the other thousands of car loads of small lots of near by production, and in fact the shipments that never reach the main markets, that affect the price. These things all must be taken into consideration, and if the crop is gen erally cut off it will make a good de mand for what is left. G. W. B. YAKIMA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The monthly meeting of the county horticultural society had a rather slim attendance, because all members are so busy with important farm work. Among the members to join was a lady, who was especially welcome. It is suggested that wives, daughters and sisters of members be admitted as honorary members. THE CANNERY AND STARCH FACTORY committee reported an increasing in terest in the project. Up to the 14th inst. there had been promised 40% acres of berries; 220>£ of fruit; 51 of vegetables, and 288 of potatoes. Chair man Scudder is in correspondence with eastern dealers and manufactur ers, and was given more time for com pletion of the work of organization.

REDUCED EXPRESS RATES. Messrs. Browning, Hall and Bell, of the Northern Pacific express company, after the meeting met in conference with C. P. Wilcox, state president of the Northwestern fruit growers' asso ciation, Mayor Prosser and Messrs. Lesh, Gilbert, Scudder and Mitchell, for discussion of the question of lower express freight rates on fruits and vegetables. The visitors were much pleased with the outlook in Yakima valley, and promised decidedly better rates. This feeling was evidenced by Mr. Browning's remark that they would fix it so that Yakima could sell pumpkins in St. Paul! They feel that it is to the railroad company's interest to foster fruit growing here by every means possible. Seed Corn.
