Result Of An Easter Freeze; Reduced
Ten Per Cent
Owing to the Easter freeze in parts Of
the fruit belt there is a decrease in the
commercial peach CROP this year of at
least ten percent in the total production
of that fruit throughout the country.
Georgia as usual is leading in the ship
ping crop. while New York is consider
ably below the normal. There are fair
prospects in the Appalachian states.
while in the New England states there
will be a small yield. This year Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma, and Texas are failures
in the peach production. Ohio, and some
other central northern states expect a
good crop. The crop is below normal in
the the northwest, and Colorado also will
have fewer peachs than last year.
The above conditions mean that this

the season.

REFUSE PERMIT TO FLIGHT
Brazil War Ministry Will Not Aid In
Proposal.

BuenOs Aires, May Z6.-lby Inc
Associated Press]-The ministry of
war has refused to grant permission
to the Argentine aviator, Captain
Angel Zuloaga, to attempt a flight
the Atlantic ocean from Lis
bon via st. Vincent to Pernambuco,
Brazil, on the ground that the EEK
penditures would be disproportionate
to the end to be attained" and be-
cause the aviator proposed to use an
airplane instead of a hydroplane.
The ministry pointed out that the
fight of Captain Alcock, the British
airman, across the north Atlantic
in an airplane cannot be regarded
as having demonstrated the practi-
cability of Zuloaga's proposals and.
furthermore. it would cost not less
than $440, 900 to maintain two chains
of t%ransorts along the route in order
to give the aviator a meaure of pro-
