REPORT LIGHT
PEACH CROP

The 1918 peach crop will be about
two-thirds that of 1917, according to
special peach forecast for the Unit
ed States recently made by the gov
eminent. 1t is estimated that the
1918 peach crop for the United States
will be 20,754, 600 bushels, as compared
with the yield in 1917 of 29,042,000
bushels. In some peach growing sec
tions an increased production this year
over 1917 is reported. The crop in
Georgia is estimated to be the heavi-
est ever produced in that state. Up
to and including July 6, over $500 cars
had been shipped from the state, and
it is estimated that the total will reach
$3.50 cars. The crop in Texas is esti-
mated at about 1000 cars, as COM
pared with 500 last year. Beginning
in New England and continuing south
west as far as Missouri and Arkan-
sas, an unusually light peach crop is
reported.
