HAVE SPLENDID CHERRY CROP
Fine Prospects for Large Shipments Of
California Fruits to East
ern Market
BY Associatkd Press.


poets are good for large fruit shipments
to the east during the season which has
Just opened. Fully 1000 cars of green
fruit and grapes will be sent east of
closes next fall. This volume of busi-
ness will mean between $4,000 900 and
$120O0,000 to the California orchardists
The cherry crop throughout the state
is splendid and shipments are now
going forward rapidly. The peach
pear and apple crops promise large
yield, particularly of apples and pears.
Grapes give promise of a big yield
Apricots and plums do not promise so
well. What is lost by these will be
more than made up, II is said, on pears
apples and grapes
