APPLE CROP SHORT.
Postmaster and HOrticuIturIst Reed
Says Not More Than n Quarter of
m CroD VIII he Saved.

According 20 Postmaster Homer Reed,
who is considered good authority on hOrti-
cultural matters. the apple crop Of the
country adjacent to Kansas City will
scarcely be above d quarter Of a fun crop.
He said yesterday that a blight had hit
the apples during the past fortnight and
t'e- were speaking badly and in some in
stances were falling. The peach crop, he
said. would be about half OF the last sea-
sons crop and would yield a fair supply
for the market. OF small fruits there is
an abundance and there are assurances
OF a great yield Of grapes. The apple
blight. says Mr.. Reed. is not affecting the
fruit Of the Ozark country vet.
