From reliable sources we have learn
ed Of the following crop conditions: APP
pies have yielded only about 25 per cent
Of a crop, while the quality has been fine
and the prices have been from 81 so to
81 90 for the Williams Red; authorities
state that there should be an extra large
crop next year, due to the unusual
growth the trees have made this year.
Tomatoes in the immediate vicinity are
extra fine and a large crop is expected. |
corn has made excellent growth in the
past few weeks. Wheat did not turn
'ut as had been expected, but there is
IN unusual amount of straw. The pre-
ent prospect for peaches is extra fine
'quashes and cucumbers are Of little
alue and most of the farmers have
topped packing and shipping them.
'antaloupes are in fair condition, but
My about so per cent of the usual acre
ge was put out this year.
