adds that favorable conditions apply
TO every county in the state. The re-
port also shows that the crop of new
orchards combined with old orchards
should enter a larger number of cars
OF fruit into commerce this year than
at any time in the history of the state.

that the marketing of thee rop has
been greatly facilitated during the last
low years, and that careful prepara-
ions have been made to turn the

comments that lruitgrowers organiza-
IONS are stronger this year than they
nave been before. while individual
shippers have better facilities than In
the past for putting their product on
the market.

Kinds OF fruit in the state is given as
follows in the report:
