DRIED FRUITS


Prospects for Dried Fruit this fall are more
cheering. The Government agricultural reports
announce serious deficiency in the Apple yield OF
the country, owing to the heavy wind and rain
storms, to unusual ravages of the canker-wo rm
and other insect pests, and to the enormous crop
last year, which overstrained the trees. The per-
centage this year is only H. and all parts of the
United States report Apples dropping badly. Now,
the Dri d Fruit market of the Eastern States is
regulated by price OF Apples and as icy prom
ise to be diminished crop this year the outlook
therefore Is for good prices later on. The chief
cause of the low prices for Dried Fruit last year
was the immense crop of Apples which Will not
occur this year.
Peaches are also rather under 1895, being 7O%,
against 73% last year.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top hgurea

days; those underneath it. If any, the amount Of
RAINFALL Of melted snow in inches and hgndredths,
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid
lines, connect points of equal air pressure; iso-
therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature The
word "high" means high barometric pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather; ''low''
refers TO low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast, and the isobArs extend
north and south along the coast, rain is probable;
but when the ''low'' is inclOsed with isobars Of
marked curvature, rain south OF oregon is improb
able. With thigh" in the vicinity of Idaho, and
the pressure falling TO the California coast,
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter The reverse Of these conditions
