FRUITS IN MISSOURI.

The Apple Crop Almost a Total Failure.
Peaches Never Any scarcer. and Grapes
Abundant with Prospects Fair for Good
Prices.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. 13.-In a
report to Levi Chubbuck, secretary of
the Missouri state board of agriculture,
L. A. Goodman, secretary of the state
horticultural society, says that in his
experience of twenty-five years he has
never before seen such a 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 blighted and scorched
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 good crop of Genitons, 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 Of
the state the crop is 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 to ten years
old, will yield crop of good fruit, but
as 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 thosa
trees most injured that they may re.
cover quickly.
Peaches were never scarcer. Only in
special localities of south Missouri ars
there any amount, and prices will be
good.
Grapes are plenty and prospects fine
for good crop and good prices, things
which rarely go together.
Encouragement need not follow one
failure in our fruit, and care to keen
the trees thriving will give them q
greater capacity for next year.
