FRUIT CROP
FOR YEAR PREDICTED
{ hamber of Commerce of U. S.

A record fruit crop this year is IRE

There is, the report says, more or less
camage reported from nearly all sec
ions to the various fruits, but except
s. the case Of peaches, il is not a matter
a. much moment. The severe and I'M
susl cold period in the spring is said
- be responsible for causing damage to
reaches in many States.
In Oklahoma, most of Arkansas, and
: ne larger part of Kansas the loss was
most severe, and the outlook in these
states being for not more than Is per
rent of a normal crop.
Reports Of more or less severe damage
osme also from south central Missouri,
Eouthern Mississippi northwestern Ala
hama south and east Texas, southwest
Crn Geofgia, western Kentucky, western
tennessee, southern Idaho, and portions
of North Carolina.

outlook Ia so promising that in general
p crop OF peaches approaching the nor
nal seems more than likelihood"
The severe drought Of 1913 Is said to
~ responsible for some damage to fruit
