PEACH CROP UNCERTAIN,

Peaches. although enjoying a very

Grapes .........2 %, 800 Plums and prunes $50
Owing to the uneven yield it is not
easy to say whether production is in
creasing or decreasing" says a re-
cent issue of the Market Reporter.
The total crop estimate for 1918, in
GLIDING both the commercial and gen.
eral crop, was about half the average
OF the two preceding seasons, while
IN 1919 the estimate was two and one
half times that of the preceding year
and larger than that of any year from
1916 to 1920. Some northern states,
particularly New York, suffered heavy
losses from winter killing of trees
during the past two or three years.
Georgia Early Variety Higher.
Early varieties of Georgia peaches
have sold this season at 25 to IS cents
per carrier higher than a year ago.

average prices Of the preceding three
seasons. The Carman, a leading mid

California early kinds. like Alexan-
der and Triumph, have appeared in a
few western markets. Triumphs sold
in Chicago July l at 81 and $225 a
box. Last season, from June II to
June 30. the range of early Califor-
MIA varieties at auction in Chicago,
Kansas City and Minneapolis was 80

"a few Texas Early Wheelers were
sold in June at $3.50 to IS per six
basket carrier, compared with early
quotations of 81 to So year ago
The local supply is light in the south
central markets usually held by these
peaches. owing to peach crop failures
in various adjoining states"
