A POOR PEACH CROP
Local Grocers Fear Michigan
Yield Will Be Very
Poor One.
FACTORIES HOG MARKET

According to a statement made by a
local grocer this morning it will be
practically impossible to secure any
peaches from Michigan this year ow-
ing to the fact that the Michigan
peach crop is the poorest 1t has been
in years and the large canning factor
les in Chicago have bought almost all
that is available in the Wolverine
state. The few peaches that do ar
rive in this city from Michigan will
be of an inferior quality and will re-
tail at $225 to $2.75 a bushel, at
least, 1t is said.
The large luscious peaches of form.
er years are q thing OF the past now
and are supplemented by a small puny
variety. The great Michigan forest
fires Of two years ago are alleged to
have destroyed thousands of peach
trees. While peaches were high last
year the price did not soar above the
$2.35 mark. and the fruit was of a
much better quality than that of this
year. The local peach crop is also a
failure. 1t is said The peaches seem
to be afflicted with some peculiar kind
Of disease which causes them to rot
instead Of ripen.
Local dealers state that they cannot
begin to supply the demand for
peaches or attempt to fill the many
orders which constantly come in
People apparently are willing to buy
the delicacy at any price and are glad
10 set the fruit despite the quality.
