THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, l9l

The United States Department Of
Agriculture forecasts an apple crop OF
2l0,000,0O0 bushels. The estimate is
based upon late reports from all por'
tiops OF the country.
This would be larger crop than
that of last year, but it would not
equal the production Of 1911, In most
of the states the outlook is for big
crop. This is especially true of New
York, where it is believed The produc.
ton will be the largest since 1896
Connecticut, Illinois and Missouri are
about the only States from which there
are unfayorable reports.
According TO the department esti.
mates the crops in some of the prime.
ipal apple States are: New York, 81, 900,
600 bushels; Pennsylvania, 1880. 600
Virginia, 1890, 600; Michigan, 300
900; Missouri, LOO, 600; Ohio, lO,5OO,
900; West Nirginin, 10, 100000 Wash.
ington. 100000; North Carolina,
200, 900; Kentucky, 100000; Tennes
see, 100000; Maine 5,50O,0O0; Cali,
fornia,5, 300, 600. No other State has an
estimated production of as much a,
100000 bushels.
On the face of the figures this looks
to be an enormous production, but
there have been larger crops in the
past and the country had no trouble il
disposlng of them. There is no evi
dence that the apple-growing industry
has been overworked, or that the sup
ply OF this healthful fruit is likely to be
in excess OF the demand this year or in
future years.
