The September number of the Board
Bulletin is in the hands of the printer,
and will probably be ready for mail
ing by the middle of the week. 1t has
been the desire of Secretary Mckeen,
in this number, to place before the
people a carefully prepared statement
as to the condition of apples. not only
in Maine. but in some of the principal
apple growing states t-ofo this section
Of the country. The average for the
State vas made up from the returns
furnished by some of the best orchard
lists in Maine, and it is thought that
they represent the condition of the
fruit crop as accurately as it is posi-
bile to secure it at this time.
Regarding the fruit crop in other
states, there seems to be a shortage
of apples everywhere. Vermont re-
ports scarcely any fruit. and about
one-fourth of an apple crop. Connect
cut reports the smallest apple crop Tor
several years, but an abundance or
peaches. pears, plums and grapes. New
Jersey will get an average crop OF
peaches. but the apple crop VIII be
about 40 per cent. In Pennsylvania the
general fruit crop is far below the av-
erage and the apple crop is failure.
In the State. the average of the fruit
crop conditions in different counties
are as follows: Androscoggn. So per
cent: Aroostook. 80; Cumberland. Al:
