Intosh between 3 and 4 per cent.
Crops of both varieties will increase
substantially. Winesaps make up about
10 per cent of all commercial orchards,
three-tourths of the trees have been
planted in the past 10 years. About
per cent of all trees are Jonathans.
The Government says, indications
are that the production of Jonathans
Winesaps, and Stayman Winesaps
can be maintained and could easily bs
increased" There is prospect for in
creased crops of early apples, such as
Gravenstein and Yellow Transparent
output of which particularly affects
California.
Finally, the government investigat.
ors estimate that while commercial
apple crops Of the next succeeding
years will increase, the gain will only
approximate that Of population. 1t is
predicted tE1t rate of increase will BE-
less than that of; the past 10 years.
The report plainly carries inforfna
ton almost entirely favorable to the
apple industry of Pacific states.

caused by Rupture promptly disap-
pear.
Truly remarkable and prompt re-

with recent and not fully developed

there is no note of alarm in this to
