PREDICT BIG CHERRY CROP
Expert Estimates Door County VIII
Ship 1875 Carloads of Fruit
This Year.

sturgeon Bay - Fruit growers pre-
dict shipment of 125 carloads of
cherries from Door county this year.
Thls number is about twenty-five
cars more than was shipped in 1915.
While a greater acreage of trees is
bearing this year than in 1915, the
crop will be lighter. This statement
pears out the prediction made by ID.
Il. Bingham in January to the effect
that the 1916 cherry crop would be
lighter one. This condition, accord
ing to Mr.. Bingham, will be que to the
fact that during last August and Sep
tember there was so much cloudy
weather. He stated that those were
the two months when cherry trees put
on their growth and cloudy weather
causes lack of nourishment The
nuorishment Of a plant depends upon
evaporation and evaporation depends
upon sunshine
w D. Cowherd, one of the newly
employed sales managers of the Door
County Fruit Growers union, predicts
that cherries will sell below $3.50 a
crate this year, possibly much lower,
but not any higher.
