The Country's Apple Crop.

The Country's Apple Crop.
In connection with demand in the
East and in Europe for our fruit, we
quote from the Orange Judd Farmer in
regard to the extent of the apple crop:
This crop in the United States is small
Ter than it has been since reliable sta
tistics have been collected. The total
supply from the 1898 crop of the Unit
cd States is $4,000, 900 barrels, as COM
pared with something over 40, 900, 900
barrels last year and 7O,0O0, 900 in the
record breaking crop of 1896. The fall
ure is widespread, reaching from the
Pacific coast to Maine, and in none of
the states does the output OF fruit ap-
proach an average. (This is not true.
however, where the crop is not fail
ure). In the great apple states Of the
Central West the crop is almost total
failure, although the situation in Mich
igan is better than elsewhere, having
about two-thirds of the bumper crops
of 1896. New York has only one-ffth
Of full crop. The failure is attributed
to the fact that during the blooming
season there was an excessive rainfall,
which washed out the pollen and pre-
vented proper fertilization by insects,
while cold wave added to the injury,
and subsequent moist, humid weather
was very favorable to the development
Of fungus diseases. The Ontario crop
is decidedly short. The crop of Europe
is reported below the normal.
