APPLE CROP SHORT HALF.
Cause Unknown by Well Informed
Fruit Grower.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 1.-One-
half of the standard crop of apples is
all that Francis Goble, one of the lar
gest 1rult growers of northeastern
Kansas, expects, according to his re-
port to the Apple Growers association
This report from Mr.. Goble is authori-
tative.
There is no doubt now" said Mr..
Goble. that we will get only half of
normal crop. This is not a guess
the apples have grown large enough
now to allow me to say accurately Just
how much of crop is to be expected.
The reason? If you want the
truth, can't tell you. 7 have talked
with several fruit growers and they
can not tell you either. The dry spell,
of course, had some effect on apples.
but I did not think it was severe
enough to destroy half of the crop. If
had the making of the weather my
self I wouldn't have changed the brand
this spring.

torn down. The flying machine is now
being taken apart and will be hauled
to the Fort Riley military tent. Flights
