TRAVERSE CITY. Mich. July
31.-"Very few people of the middle
west or even OF the United States
appreciate what the Grand Traverse
region has 10 offer i'm the line OF
agriculture in general and fruit rails
ing in particular" said Prof. w. G.
Mathews, chief Of the department
Of horticulture in the University OF
Kentucky, upon the day this week
that ne. with a party of experts,
concluded a survey of agricultural
and horticultural conditions in this
northern part OF Michigan.
Orchards Revelation.
Prof. Mathews stated that no con-
cepticn Of the amount Of money in
vested in the fruit industry Of this
region has ever reached other agri-
cultural sections OF the country. and
the trip through the various or
chards was revelation TO him. He
also declared that no fruit raiser in
the United States cared for their
products more thoroughly or efic-
iently than the ranchers Of northern
Michigan.
In commenting upon the crop
outlook at present. John ]. Gibson.

Development bureau. another mem
Der of the inspection party. stated:
we found the peach crop a
negligible quantity The unusually
cold spring started the peach blocks
on the road Of unproductiveness, and
the curl leaf has finished the work
Of destruction. The cold. wet and
backward spring has fostered the
curl leaf disease and made spraying
ineffective
Cherry Mart High.
I'VE found the cherries, both
sweet and sour, slightly below a
normal crop. but Of the choicest
quality The market in this crop
will be 90 per cent higher than last
year. and the truth is that the
growers will actually realize more
profit from the stock this season
than with last years bumper yield.
Apples promise less than half a
crop, for the sCab and aphis have
entered the orchards early, encour-
aged by the inclement weather. In
this connection il is interesting 10
note that the growers are losing
faith in the lime and sulphur solu-
ton alone as the best means of
controlling scab. For the past few
years orcharsists have sprayed
faithfully with this mixture and
still they grow scabby apples. They
are now firm in the opinion that at
least some 81 Elementary solution or
treatment should be used. Other
crops give every indication of being
normal or nearly so. for recent IA
vorable weather has brought about
a great growth in the hitherto stunt
ed grains"
