APPLE OUTLOOK FOR WEST GOOD The weekfy apple bulletin of date August 29, Issued by the Northwes tern Fruit Exchange, covering North western and United States conditions, points to a crop this season in the Pacific northwest equal In quantity to the season of 1916, with the apple crop ub a whole In all tb producing districts of Canada and the United States estimated as much lighter than last year. The New York and Vir ginia districts, both heavy producers, are turning out extremely light crops this year, the New York state crop being reliably estimated at 15 per cent of tho normal. In Oregon and Washington the crop on the old trees will be much lighter, but the newly bearing orch ards will make up for this shortage. Duo to fruit being more lightly and more evonly distributed over the trees, Blze and color ot the northwest crop should be superior. Weather conditions In tho northwest since blooming time have been ideal for. high quality of fruit. Oranges, Apples, Damnum Regarding competitive fruits, the Exchange bulletlh points out - that theso will be comparatively and act ually scarce. The Florida citrus crop Is severely dumaged duo to the freeze last winter, and reports indicate the output will not exceed 25 percent of the normal. California navels suf fered In the recent hot wave which visited thnt stnto, and it Is estimated that tho California navel shipments will be reduced between twenty thou sand twenty-five thousand carloads this year. Regarding bananas, which tho Exchange points out are probably the greatest competitor of apples, It Is authoritatively reported that the government has already comman deered several ot the boats belonging to the banana Importers, and It is believed the government will take over more of these vessels before winter. It Is understood tho short ago of bananas Is already being felt very keenly in soma markets, and It Is reasonable to assume that apples will be used largely to take the place ot bananas. The additional apple do mand on account of the banana sit uation is regarded ns an offset to the anticipated loss of exports to Euro pean markets. ' Apple n HUt Factor Another factor In the apple situa tion Is pointed out In the campaign Inaugurated by tho department of agriculture and tho food administra tor to oncourago the canning and conserving ot perishables, thereby as sisting In tho conservation of meat and wheat. Due to this campaign the applo will occupy a nioro prom inent position In the food program of American homes than ever before.' In the r can mo the bulletin stales that the demand factors are excep tionally favorable to the apple, with the applo crop promising to be much below normal. DKS MOINES, In., Sept. 1. II. M.
