KMAVOOI) CITY, Pa., Juno 15.
A peculiar hliRht which withers the
leaves and turns them to a sickly
urny color is devastating orchards in
(his section. It was first noticed
two wcoks nco.
Cnunillun Fruit Crop.
Indications point to a good yield of
all kinds.
Fruit trocs all over the Dominion
camo through tho winter in excellent
shape, and tho prospects for good
crops, notably apples, arc, on tho
whole, favorable, according to a re
port issued by the Canadian depart
ment of agriculture. In the counties
north of Lake Erie prospects favor
a good yield, of both early and late
varieties of upples. Greenings are
especially promising. In tho coun
ties on Lake Huron and inland to
York county tho prospect is for n
moderates to n good crop of apples.
The oarlv and fall varieties blos
somed heavily. Of nil tho winter
vnrioties. Greenings wore for tho
(most part well loaded with bloom.
Baldwins and Spies also showed a
good bloom.
There has been a very heavy set
in tho largo winter applo section
along tho north shore of Lake On
tario. Tho present indications aro
for a full crop of nearly all the lead
ing commercial varieties. In the
counties of Northumberland, Dur
ham and Prince Edward the outlook
at tho time of blossoming is the most
promising for several years.
Apple Men to Hare Expert.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Juno 15. If
tlio movement inaugurated the other
day nt a meeting of apple growers
(hi tho Pine Grove Grange hall and
now in tho hando of a committee of
Hood River orchnrdista is carried
out, there soon will bo an expert or
chardist in the Hood Rivor valley to
study orchard problems peculiar to
this section and in conjunction with
tho Oregon Agricultural college and
the government experimental station
at Corvallis, to have chargo of ex
perimental work which has an es
pecial bearing on Hood Rivor.
There will bo a full crop of Mrfy
chorrios. Ho predicts that the win
l)o a largo applo crop. Mr. MeCot
lurn says that boiuo varieties of peare
will bear well. Around the lake (kit
Bartlett pear crop may bo unaffect
ed, but within a radius of five bb'iUm
of Lockport there has not baft a
near a comploto failuro in 29 jmurtu
Grand Valley Fruit.
PALISADES, Colo., Juno 10.
Tho probabilities aro now that tho
Palisades district will ship more
than 1000 cars of fruit, the largest
on record. Tho heaviest shipments
will be made in August, when tho El
bcrtas aro in their prime. Rifle will
ship 350 cars of- fruit; Clifton will
ship about GOO. Tho estimates have
not been made as yet for Frnita and
Grand Junction. Tho chances are,
however, thnt tho early estimates of
2000 cars from the valley will be ex
ceeded somewhat.
IJartlett Pears a Failure.
LOCKPORT, N. Y., June 2. S.
Wright McColIum, the horticulturist
who is looked upon ns authority in
this section, says that the Bartlett
pear crop around Lockport is a
complete failure. He said that some
varieties will bear well. The curloy
leaf is found in somo orchards of
peaches, but as a rule tho crop will
be good. Prunes aro hurt and there
nre no plums to speak of. Those
who did not have crops last vear will
probnblv have something this year. Mt appears now.
Jteport on Fruit Crop.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Juns 1.
As told in last week's Fruit Trade
Journal, tho prospects for a bossii
ful crop of peaches this year arw
very promising, according to a report
mado public by tho department C
agriculture on general crop condi
tions. Splendid prospects for fruit
in Now England and tho Pad Re
coast states almost offset the poor
showing of tho central otatos, where,
frost did serious damage.
Tho condition of tho apple erap ht.
reported to bo 8 points below Uafc
year's crop, or 53.0 as compared
with a normal condition. The ten
year averago for apples is 09.8. T
Now England and on tho Pacific
coast tho crop promises to be im
mense, but in such big applo states
ns Ohio and Missouri there will be
only about one-third of a crop.
On tho othor hand, tho peach crop,
duo to tho excellent prospects ia
Georgia and Delaware, promises lo
bo larger than that of last year, At
condition on June 1 being 62.0, as
compared with 54.1 last year, and a.
ten-year avorage of 05.0. The eea
tral states will produce a poor crap,
