Chicago, Oct. 20.-The Orange
Judd Farmer tomorrow will say:
The apple crop of the United
State is smaller than it has been
since reliable statistics have been
collected. The total supply from
the 1898 crop of the United States
Is 27,700,000 barrels, compared
with something over 40,000,000
last year and 100000 IN the re-
cord-breaking crop of 1896. The
failure is widespread, reaching
from the Pacific coast to Maine and
in none of the States does the out.
put of fruit approach an average.
In the great apple states Of the
west the crop is almost an abso-
Lutte failure. although the situation
in Michigan is better than else
where, having about two-third
of the bumper crop of 1896. New
York has only one-fifth of full
crop. The failure is attributed
to the fact that during the bloom
ing season there was excessive
rainfall which washed out the pol
len and prevented proper tertil-
ization by insects while a colo
wave added to the injury. ane
subsequent moist humid weather
was very favorable to the develop
ment of fungous diseases. Tn,
Ontario crop is decidedly short
The crop of Europe is reported
below the normal.
