PEACH GROWERS
FEARFUL OF RAIN
Afraid That It May interfere with
Proper PolienIzaton-Others
Think Not

tntnk NOT.
Peach grawers are wondering
whether the recent rain will do the
peach crop any material damage.
There are some growers who state
that the trees Of some varieties were
in fullbloom and completely open. and
that the rain coming at this time %
bad as It prevents the proper pollena&
alton Of tho buds. which Il necessary
for them 70 set fruit.
There are other covers who stated
that the rain was of too short dafa-
ton to do any harm especially. Say.
ing that had the rain and damp
weather continued for three or four
days that injury could have been e1-
pected.
As the peach trees are bursting in
to bloom, the amount OF damage by
freezing Is becoming more apparent.
There are some varieties which have
very few bloom and in the lower al.
titudes, practically all the lowties
have suffered. Many feel that the
few bloom that have chung to these
trees may be weakened that they viii
later drop off without setting fruit
There are some orchards whore the
altitude 1s good, and where good at.
tention has been given the trees. that
have an unusual amount Of bloom
this year, and the chances for q big
crop In those orchards were never
better.
