be permitted to accumulate on the

cot be permitted to lie around on the

should be done at least once year.

The prospsc, for fruits in this state
has no; materially changed since my
last report in February.
The strawberry crop will be less
than half of las, year.
The raspberry will not sivc more
than half full crop.
The blackberry will be a good one
never better.
The eurrant and Eoosebcrry will
fruit about as usual.
The grape siycs promise Of an
abundant crop.
The apple prospect Ia bright and VIC
hope to ace one OF our usual good
crops again. and be able TO supply the
markets of our land.
The pear buds have no, been in
turcd thus far.
The peach buds have been abou; one
half killed and the trees are short of
their full amount of their bearing
wood. hence we can expect about n
half crop from our large orchards.
The plum will hold Its usually good
crop.
The cherry buds are all sound thus
far.
The ounce crop will be a good one
also.-L. a. Goodman. Secretary Mis-
souri, State Horticultural Society.
In most parts Of the r''te there is
a good prospect at the present time
for a fair crop of fruit. in some places
the trees are still dying from 'he effects
OF the severe winter weather of one
year ago. but the live trees have
plenty of live buds in most instances.
The following shows the prospect for
an average crop of the various kinds
Of fruit in the state: Apples. So: pears.
IS: peaches, IS: plums. IS. cherries.
IS: small fruit. 81.

questios Are trees still dying as a re-
suit of the cold weather of February.
