a total failure. according to statements
of leading fruit growers. The freeze
Of last winter killed many of the buds.
More buds were frozen at .blossoming
time. Then came the June drop, fol-
lowed by the drought, which has
caused many peaches to ripen prema-
turely. One grower, who expected a
good sized crop, purchased packages
for $4,000 bushels. He says if he gets
5000 bushels he will be lucky. An
other extensive grower stated that six
weeks ago the indications were he
would get a large crop, but now he
expects practically none. Joseph w.
Wolfinger and Elias B. Hartle have
an orchard in the South Mountain belt
from which they expect crop of
$500 bushels. A few early varieties
have been shipped, the growers re-
ceiving $2.75 a package.

easy to become overheated on a

the excessive heat makes us flood
