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.
