EXCELLENT CROP
Fruit Started with Fine "Set," "
Declares Expert Porter,
Who Still Has Faith in
the Outcome.


Lincoln, June 7.-(Special.)-lf the
high cost OF living does not interfere
Ncbraskans may have plenty OF ap-
plies this winter, according to state
ment made by Grove NJ. Porter, secre-
tary of the state board OF horticulture.
In discussing the fruit situation Mr.
Grover said:
"The prospects for full apple
crop in southeastern Nebraska were
never better than they are this year.
All of the varieties have set an ex-
cellent crop and, it, will take an ex-
tremeIy heavy June drop materially
to affect the yield The weather up
TO ten days ago was not favorable
for fungus growth.
The grapes around Omaha were
practically all killed. Farther south
along the river the percentage OF
vines killed runs from about 81 to
50 per cent. This is remarkable con-
sidering The extreme dry and cold
weather we had. The hills along the
Missouri river in southeastern Ne
braska offer ideal locations for vine
yards and it is only. question OF
time until grape production will be
one OF our leading industries.
."Blackberries and raspberries were
badly frozen this year and only a
small percentage will produce fruit.
There will be no peaches. Pears
present a peculiar situation. Some
growers, have a good set OF fruit,
while others have no set at all.
wherever strawberries were pro-
tected the crop will be excellent
