FRUIT PROSPECTS IN MAINE

The Maine Farmer this week presents q
comprehensive review of the fruit stu a.
ton in Maine to May 2ad, compiled from
returns soouredsfrom special correspond
ents in every county Of the State. When
she output of the orchards of the State in
b airing years is considered the loss sure
TO result from the present condition of
the trees is beyond computation.
In all that territory of the State visited
by caterpillars last year, and this included
the principal orcharding of the State-the
trees, in starting their LEAKAGE this
spring, fail to show that health ard
strength indicative of q vigorous condi
ton. Every appearance indicates a
weakened condition from the defoliatiop
of last year. The fruit blossom all around
is far from promising While the blossom
is not full, the developent seems to be un-
even and unnatural.
Of commercial varieties, the Greening
is bringing out the best bloom, while
Baldwins arc sadly deficient. 1t Ia thus
carly settled that the crop of Maine Bald
wins the present year will be light one.
Miscellaneous varieties are giving bet
ter promise.
The pear bloom is about en- par with
the apples, and the plums ditto. So far as
our observations have extended.
OF the caterpillar raid. changes have
been disclosed during the past week indi-
eating that the pest will soon pass.
The ravages thus far are due to the
army of forest not tent caterpillar.

PROVIDENCE MARITIME INTER
ESTS.

1t Is announced that because of the
competition of rivals the New York, New
Haven aud Hartford Railroad will tnke
from the Newport and Fall River
lines their best and largest boats, the
Plymouth and Pilgrim, and place them
on the Providence line next month
There never has been such competition at
Providence, and revival of the CON-
merce Of Providence Is expected. The city
government has passed resolution ask
ing the General Assem- bly, for permission
to hire $s5 900, to be used In the purchase
of the Taber and other tide lands front
ing on Allen'ss avenue. This purchase
would enable the city to hold all the
water front from Hills wharf to Sassa.
fras point, and to bnild series of docks
to be leased to steamship companies. The
recent loss of Porto Rico line, to run
direct from Providence, and which finally
decided to 90 to Boston, was due to the
fact that there was not an available dock
to bo had.
