In spite of the fact that Last year was the
bearing year for apples and the crop WAS
10 large that thousands OF bushels went TO
waste, the indications are that there will be
homegrown apples enough for the local sup
ply this year and some to spare. For this
thanks are due TO the late frost which year
ago last spring killed the crop in streaks of
territory, putting the trees in shape to bear
this year. This years crop will be very de
cidedly in streaks, some fine orchards show
ing no fruit at all, while in others the trees
are full 10 breaking down. The supply of
summer apples Ia lsrge--a good deal more
than enough to meet the demand.
