Yeaton, "thc formation Of fruit bud
is retarded and in some cases stop

"All eating insects can be control

be applied while the trees are In

kill the bees that are gathering pol

HEAVY BLOOM
INDICATES A BIG
CROP OF APPLES

There is heavy bloom of all va
rieties of apples except Baldwins
and the prospects look very good for
a big CROP" asserted State Horticul-
turist George A. Yeaton yesterday.
Mr.. Yeaton said that the varieties
that are showing up the best are
the Mcintosh and the Wealthy. the
former being fully in bloom. The
Baldwin crop. according to indica
tons, will not be over As to SO per-
cent of normal because of the fact
that this variety bore particularly
heavy last fall and the orchards
which were not fortified to cores
pond with the immense crop did not
have strength enough to produce the
fruit buds for the 1926 crop.
The frost did considerable damage
to the plums and cherries and III
consequence there will be a light
crop. The pears escaped the frost,
however. There is wonderfully
good bloom of Strawberries and
there are indications for a fine crop.
