WILLAMETTE FARMER.
A "Clearing-Out" Season,
It ' possible that we may be a little partial
toward the f rait growers, on account of favors
received, bat is it doing this class more than
justice to claim for tbm that- the manner in
which they are handling their widely extended
and complicated business deserves, from a
strictly business point of view, the highest com
mendation? It is all the more commendable
'from the fact that their greatest efforts are be
ing made in a year when no one expects to
-make but little, if anything, on fruit, and that
during a season when they are particularly
short of fruit for exporting they are using every
possible meins for extending the market fo
their products.
It is evident that our fruit producers are
operating on a broad basis, and are endeavor
ing to secure a permanent as well as extensive
market. We wish to be understood as speak
ing of the American fruit growers at large, and
sot simply of those of California; for those of
the Southern, Eastern, Middle and North
western States are manifestly operating on the
same basis and are certainly as actively em
ployed. They are opening a trade with Europe
for both prepared and fresh fruits, and have
demonstrated during the past season the practi
cability of shipping fresh peaches to England,
where this fruit is almost' unknown. Many
-portions of the Atlantio States, where fruit is
usually abundant, are short of a supply this
season, but the watts of these districts will be
promptly attended to by those who have been
blessed with an abundance, and who are more
than usually watchful to supply any demand.
Considering this general activity on the part
of those who produce and hold fruit, in con
nection with the deficit of the season's product,
it seems quite reasonable to expect a sort of
clearing out sale, which will leave all our mar
kets in a healthy condition, with an unusually
good appetite for the large yield which may be
expected next year.
In California, with our present great aban
donee of grapes, we can scarcely realize that
there is a scarcity of any kind of fruit, here or
anywhere else; but when the flush season of
grapes is over and this will soon 'occur and
when the scant crop of other fruits is exhausted
and this will soon be made apparent under
the universally active operations of drying and
other modes of preparation we shall then, un
doubtedly, be better, qualified for appreciating
the value pf our fruit. In regard to the. yield
of the leading fruits in the United' States dur
ing the'present year, 'the Report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for September gives the
following showing: Of apples, only one State,
Texas, reports a full average crop. Arkansas
-nearly approximates being ninety-nine per
cent, of on average yield but all the other
States fall below. Massachusetts comes near
est, being ninety per cent.; New York, New
Jersey and Delaware promise about two thirds
of a crop; while Pennsylvania will discount
.half of hers ; 'Wisconsin do. From fifty to sixty
per cent, is the general range, though six of the
States range from thirty' to forty-five per cent;
Ohio is put down at ten per cent.
Of the peach crop the same report gives us
the following estimate: " The crop of peaches
in New England is considerably above average
in those limited areas where it is grown; New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut
average 105. In the peach growing region of
the Middle States the crops have been large,
especially in New Jersey, 97. Delaware,
112, and Maryland, 102; but New York, 88, and
Pennsylvania, 41, embrace large areas not fa
vored by such good conditions, and conse
quently report low averages. It is noticeable,
however, that the counties in New York re
porting average crops are mostly in the central
portion of the State, and not geographically
connected with the peach legion of New Jersey.
The Atlantio coast reports low averages Vir
ginia, 30; North Carolina, 1G; South Carolina,
18; Georgia, 85. The Oulf States show a better
condition Mississippi, 108; Louisiana, 98, and
Alabama, 87, taken together, will not fall
greatly below average; but Florida, 59, and
Texas, 43, promise only half crops. Of the
Southern inland States, Arkansas, 10G, sharply
contrasts with Tennessee, 23; West Virginia, 33,
and Kentucky, 22, The case is still worse north
of the Ohio river Ohio, 8; Michigan, 18;
Indiana,24, Illinois, 14. The crops of the Missis
sippi valley, it will be seen, have generally suf
fered most from unfavorable weather. Missouri
and Kansas promise about half crops. The
Pacifio coast has fared but little better Cali
fornia averaging 26, and Oregon 72.
The averaee of the grape vield ranges higher
throughout the States generally than that of
apples and peaones. xne ooutn Atlantic coast
ranges from 98 in Maryland and South Caro
lina to 94 in Virginia. In the Gulf States the
yield approaches nearer an average. North of
the Ohio river the State averages range from 53
in Wisconsin to 83 in Michigan. According to
the statistical table California is set down at
98 per cent, and Oregon at 82; but in the gen
eral Bummary the grape yield of the Pacini
coast is estimated at only 2 per cent, below
average. How is this, neighbor Dodge? The
statement of the grape yield of the Pacifio
coast closes with the remark that "many
places had a plethora of cheap fruit"
If the department had been up to what the
country at large requires of it, we should have
a statement of the yield of other fruits prunes,
plums, aprioots, cherries and even smaller
fruits; for, though in common parlance "their
season is past," they are not by any means
among "the by-fon.es" They remain largely
in the country, in various merchantable con
ditions, a large amount of labor and capital
being invested in them; and those who pro
duced them, who prepared them for market or
still hold them, are largely interested in their
present and prospective value. Tbey have a
light to look to the department at Washington
for statistical reports of their condition and
prospects. Even pears have been ignored in
i Via rienftrtmental renorts: nrobablv for the rea
son that they were supposed to possess little if
any value after their "season" is past; but it
is to be hoped that this portion of our govern
ment will wake up to tne laci tuai American
fmit crrnwlno is twins nrettv thoroughly revo
lutionized by preserving and preparing it for
market in different ways, ana mat tne "sea
ann" nf nnr frniti lasta the vear round. If the
fruit growers and fruit producers of California
could be informed at the proper periods as to
what is the condition ana prospect oi me iruiu
mentioned above as being ignored b.y the com.
