MARYLAND APPLES
IN POOR CONDITION
Big Peach and Pear Yields
Predicted After Study of
Whole State.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, July 10. - Orchard
fruit crops in Maryland, apples ex-
cepted. give promise of bountiful
yields this year. In some Maryland
orchards apples are very spotted; the
trees were full of bloom. but did
not set fruit, pollination being him
dered by the excessively wet and
cool spring. A full crop of some
types of apples is expected here and
there on the Eastern Shore, accord
ing to peninsula growers. Wet
weather has been favorable to in
sectS and disease in both states and
damage is reported locally from those
causes. Spraying in not few JIM
stances has proven ineffective because
of continuous rains, which, growers
say, washed off the solution. Hail
worked considerable damage. The
June drop is reported as heavy.
Present Apple Prospects.
The apple prospect in Maryland on
July l was about 2.119,000 bushels.
against 100000 last season and
1.714,000 the average of the last five
years A commercial crop of $4,000
barrels is, indicated.
The peach prospect July 1 was
much above the ten-year aveage. A
crop of 697,00 bushels is indicated for
Maryland, against 631, 900 last year.
Pear Outlook Bright.
Pear production in Maryland, based
on July l condition reports. is fore
cast at $4,000 bushels, against 37f,-
900 last year.
These forecasts allow for average
influences prevailing from July l to
harvest time.
