Cider APPLE LEFT
But Rest OF Kansas Fruit Crop
Is Ruined.
Latest Freeze Put KibOSh on
PlumS and Peaches.

Manhattan, Kan. April 15.-One
little ray of sunshine remains to light
the gloom of the prohibitioner's night
the cider apple has been saved for
humanity.
w F. Pickett, instructor in the hor-
ticultural department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college, is the
bearer of the glad tidings. The fruit
crop, with the exception of the cider
apple and the cherry, has practically
been ruined thruout the state, he says.
Local observations show that the
cider apple had only five per cent of
its blossoms killed during the recent
freeze, while all other apples were
practically a total loss. The Maiden
Blush and Jonathans were injured
most. Out of $50 Maiden Bush bios
SONS examined, only 80 were found
alive. The Winesap and the Roman
Beauty show only slightly better av-
erage.
The plum crop is practically ruined.
Peaches were killed last December
during the intense cold. Pears have
Jared but little better and only a small
| crop can be expected. The cherry
blossom was mercifulIy spared. Out
of 767 buds examined, 331 were alive
and bidding fair to produce good
fruit. This percentage may not seem
encouraging, but due to the fact that
there was an extra heavy blossom
growth this year, good crop is as
sured.
Perhaps the greatest and most last
ing damage was done, not to the fruit,
| but to the fruit spurs-the twigs from
which the blossoms issue. These, es-
pecially on the apple trees, have been
quite seriously frozen and several
years will be required to replace them.
Thus the apple crop will feel the eff
feet of the recent freeze for several
| seasons
