THE APPLE.
Its Distribution Far and Wide Over the
Country.

The census statistics of 1900 on agri-
culture are more complete than those
| Of any previous census. The inveStiga-
tiOIfS Oh which they We're based were
more thorough, aud the compilation has
evidently been made with greater ac-
curacy and discrimination than ever be-
| fore. one of the most interesting fea-
lures of the bulletins on agriculture in
The various states, the publication of
whio h has only recently been completed.
is the important showing made by thu
fruit industry. 1t is certain that no
branch of agriculture made the gains
in the last decade that fruit growing
| did There are over 100000 acres in
orchard fruits reported by the census
enunerators, and these figures are
likely to be below rather than above
, the total At the present time there
must be fully four million acres in or
chards in the country-enough for four
hundred thousand ten-acre or two hun
bred thousand twenty-acre farms.
In value the fruit crop now ranks as
one of the eight most important agri-
cultural products of the country. The
,, figures on the annual crop for the year
preceding the census are as follows:
Corn $S2S .25S. 32G: hay $4s4, 256. SAG; cot
ton Gncluding cotton seed $370.7CS,1 46;
wheat s3s9. 945, 800: oats s217. 0sS.5S4; po-
tatoes Sis. z63.S14; vegetables $113, ST.
S42: fruit $92, 301.70S
In the year referred to there was a
light apple crop. and rather light
peach crop. Under normal conditions
the value of the fruit crop must exceed
500. 600. 900.
The following states report fruit
crop exceeding 100000 in annual
value, the figures being given in round
numbers:

IN SOME SECTIONS
The Outlook for Fall and Winter Busi
ness Is improved.

New York. July 22.-Reports received
this week. from special agents of the
international Mercantile Agency at
the lelding centers of accumulation and
distribution in the country show very
little change in conditions from those
previously stated. Actual trade is dull,
a normal situation for this season OF
the year.
The outlook fer fall and winter husi-
ness is better in some sections. notably
South and Southwest. than 1t has been
for a long while.
The strike Of the packing house en-
ploves assumed larger proportions than
were first believed possible. However.
there has been no suffering from the
advance in the price of meats. 1t mas
always been believed that eventually
there would be Il peaceful REIMBURSEMENT
by arbitration and that the disturb
ance would pass away as quickly as II
developed. This sentiment was borne
out by Wednesdays action. Probably
n more important matter is the atti-
tude of the Fall River operatives to-
wards the reduction of 12k per cent.
in wages. which becomes effective
1tAl mpiuis i'i''
throughout New England and unsettle
business in that section.
The best commercial reports come
from the West and Southwest or from
the very regions where the greatest
disturbance to business po.se might De
expected to exist.
With the prospect of average cereal
crops and an early and large cotton
crop the Southwest is beginning 10 as
count some of the expected enrichment
of that part of tine country. statesmen
from st. Louis have had a better trace
than a year ago. Jobbers are satisfied
with returns, which they find exceed
those Of recent similar seasons. one
significant fact is the demand for
better quality of goods. This is notice

WENT OVER THE RAPIDS.
Details of the Drowning of Richard H
Wood at Ambajeiis Falls.

Millinocket, Me-, July 22.-The body
of Richard H. Wood Of Bangor, VINO
was drowned at Amajejis Fails.
Wednesday, was brought down and
taken in charge by Undertaken Guy $.
Baker. who forwarded the remains to
his parents in Bangor.
The details of the drowning as Me-
as can he learned are as follows: ii
seems that Wood desired to secure wa
ter from Il spring across the strea 4
and asked Peter MortinsOn to row hi II
over. The two got safely across; So
cured the water and on the way back
Wood insisted upon rowing the boat,
which was supplied with one oar.
When part way over, the swift Wa
ter caught the boat and threatened to
carry them both over the rapids. only
a few rods below, when Wood suddenly
stuck the oar down TO the bottom of
the stream and using the boat as Il lev
erage. gave the oar a sudden pull,
which caused him to be thrown into
the water.
Mortinson. being n good swimmer.
soon righted the boat just as Wood
came to the top and asked him for his
hal.d. but being too far away to reach
him. turned his attention to getting the
boat ashore. before it might be swept
over the rapids and lost.
Wood was seen to rise several times
before he Went over the falls. Mortn-
SON secured the boat and went for
Wood. finding his dead body below the
rapids.

plrvc,, rs baggage master ut the sta

garded as not worth enumeration by
the census bureau.
According to the census of 1890 Cali
fornia had 10000 acres of oranges ant
SIS acres of lemons; the census of 100
gave us &C. 800 acres of oranges and Is.
600 acres of lemons. This is consider.
ably more than the total reported BY
the county assessors, but it is believed
to be more correct than the assessors
reports, as in many cases nonbearine
trees are not listed by the assessors
There has been no extensive planting
| of citrus orchards in California sine {
the census was taken. and the present
total probably does not exceed 10000
acres of oranges and 5000 of lemons
OF the acreage in oranges about $4,000
are in Southern California. 5000 i'm Cen
trail California ialmost all in Tulare
County,. and 5000 in Northern Cali
fornia (nost!y in the counties Of Butte,
Placer and Sacramento).
The acreage in oranges in Florida
has diminished in ten years from a.
eco 10 o5500. The lemon acreage is I'M
Important, it was put at $50 acres in
1890 and only 225 acres in 1900. These
figures will indicate how California has
ortstripred Florida as n producer OF
citrus fruits. Last year the entire crop
Of Florida was less than 1000 cars: less
thar the total crop Of Redlands: less
than half the crop of Riverside. There
We're 1900 cars shipped from north OF
Tehat h1pi. and the northern citrus belt
will soon equal Florida's product.
This seasons Florida crop will be
larger hut will hardly reach 5000 cars.
while the estimated output of the
Riverside district alone is 500 cars Of
oranges mot counting probably 800 cars
Of lemons).
The estimated output OF oranges for
California, north and south. Is $4,000
cars for the season of 19O3-1904 the
largest and finest crop in the history of
the STATE. The lemon output will he
about 1000 cars. This makes n grand
total Of 22, 600 cars. The railroads will
he paid over s9.OOO.O0O in freight on this
crop. which gives n good idea Of It's
ma gnitude.
The Californian hardly needs to have
his pride stimulated; he has plenty Of
it already. But these figures on fruit
production and fruit acreage certainly
demonstrate Californias preeminence
a. fruit state. n prominence the
state seems destined to hold, for not
only do we produce a greater quantity
Of fruit than any other State. but
much greater variety. A State that
leads not only in oranges. lemons. figs
and olives but also in apricots, pears.
prunes and plums. and ranks among
the first in the production of peaches
and apples. is certainly entitled to be
called an all-round fruit State.-Sunset
