the second National Apple show in

Gently returned from Buffalo, where he
attended the sessions Of the Interna-
fionai Apple Shippers association, thus
summarizes the apple situation, based
on reports by members Of the organize
ton as 70 the condition and probable
size Of the yield Of 1909 in the various
districts on this continent.
New England Improves.
The following is a resume Of the
reports as given out under the sane
ti0n Of the association:
The New England group has a crop
this year 20 per cent in excess Of last
year.
The central groups crop is a little
below last year, about 7 ~ per cent.
The middle west or Ben Davis group
has a light crop this year, but it il
equal 70 double the crop Of 1908.
The southern group has a heavier
crop than a year ago, and taken as
a whole, il is fully $50 per cent larger
than a year ago.
In the Pacific group, Washington,
Idaho and New Mexico show a con
siderable decrease a. against last
year, but this is more than made up
by the large increase in Colorado over
last year, 80 that the Pacific group
a. a whole will make as much II not a
greater crop Of box apples than a
year ago.
Canada, not including the province
Of Nova Scotia, as well as Colorado,
shows an increase Of Is per cent over
1905. while the province of Nova SEQ
tia has equally as large a crop as last
year. when a bumper yield was har-
vested.
Crop in United States
For the United States, the present
promise Of the entire crop is slightly
in excess Of a year ago. while for
Canada the prospect is for a larger
crop than in 1905. The gain is placed
AZ 80 per cent.
In the Pacific group, Idaho, Wash
ington and New Mexico show losses,
hut the quality Of all is good.
