JEFFERsoS CRY. Mo-, Aug. f3-In q
report to Levi Chubbuck. secretary Of
the Missouri state board of agriculture,
L. A. Goodman. secretary Of the state
horticultural society, says that in hi.
experience Of twenty-five years he has
never before seen such q complete fall
ure Of fruit in Missouri, and that. too.
where the orchards have had the very
best of attention The cold electrical
storms of May biighted and seorrhed
the trees badly and the fruit entirely.
In in the northwest. and in fact
nearly all along the north line of the
state. there will be not more than
apples enough for home consumption
Some counties in the eastern part will
have a good crop Of Geniton<. some
orchards being full, but they are not
general The Geniton will pay better
this year. perhaps, than all other
varieties Along the western border II
the state the crop il almost an entire
failure. while in the central counties
some orchards are full of fruit. and each
locality must be secured for what
there Is
In the southern portion of the state
young orchards. from seven 10 ten years
old, will yield n crop of good fruit. but
a. orchards of that age are limited so
will the fruit be.
Apples will be scare in every apple
locality in the United States, and great
care Of all fruit will pay, for good prices
are sure Buyers are now seeking pur-
chase. and everyone can readily sell
what he may have The very best care
and cultivation should be given those
trees most injured that they may re-
cover quickly.
Peaches were never scarcer. Only in
special localities of south Missouri are
there any amount, and prices will be
good
Grapes arc plenty and prospects fine
for a good crop and good prices, things
which rarely go together.
Discouragement need not follow one
failure in our fruit, and care TO keep
the trees thriving will give them =
greater capacity for next year.
