Country's Fruit Crop
Will Be Below Normal

Washington, July 26.-The 1916 fruit
crop will be below that of 1915 in prac-
tically every class, it was predicted
today by the United States Bureau of
Crop Estimates.
Especially marked will be the decline
in the peach crop, if present indica-
tions hold good. In this line, the out
put, it is estimated, will fall off 11,000,-
600 bushels for the year, the govern
mont experts placing the probable fig
ures at 42,l23,000 bushels.
The national yield in apples, the fore
most fruit crop, will decline, says the
department, from total of 76,670,000
barrels in 1915 to 72,53l,00 for the
present season.
