The Shenandoah Concerned.

Winchester. Va.--The apple grow
ers of Frederick and some Of the 9th
er apple-producing counties of the
Shenandoah valley are much concern
cd over the failure of the York Inn
perial apple trees 10 properly set their
fruit. The Fork Imperial, which rs
the principal commercial variety Of
this immediate section. hloomed heav-
lily this spring. and as by reason of the
reduced the crop. the fruit growers
had every reason to expect an I'M
usually large crop this fail
a thorough investigation has been
made during the past week IN every
district Of Frederick county. and II
was stated here today that the fail
ure OF the apples 10 mature properly
seems to be confined principally to
the York Imperials. and to n smaller
degree to the Staymen Wsnesaps and
the Black Twigs.
The Ben Davis and Jonathan va
rieties have set splendidly. and a
bumper crop OF these varieties Is now
expected, save on those trees which
bore heavily last year The crop of
Bens and Jonathans was not, how
ever, very large In 1918.
The York Imperial needs artificial
polarization much more than does
the Ben Davis. and this may per-
haps. account for the failure OF the
York to set its fruit. while the Ben
Davis seems to have escaped injury
from dropping. The dropping on York
Imperial trees Is also much greater
on trees under fifteen years old.
Growers having old trees Of that va
r.etv say that they will have large
crop.
In spite of the fact that Yorks are
dropping. there will be very large
crop of apples in Frederick county
this fall and every indication points
to the best quality In many years.
While the York Imperial has dropped
to such an extent as to decrease the
crop. yet as the trees have been.
relieved OF number OF their APP
pies, the quality OF. those remaining
will be very fine.
Local growers have been advised
by the experts of the United States
agricultural department that the time
for spraying for the second coddling
moth Will be the. first Of June for
the Valley OF Virginia.
