 August first crop forecasts Just issued by the Federal department predict a potato crop for the United States of 370 millions bushels, q reduction in the esti- mate of a month earlier of about 26 million bushels compared with a final estimate of last years total of 342 million busheus. The fore cast does not predict much change in the total crop of the important Eastern states. Middle western states, however. are expected to produce larger crops than the un- usually light yields of that section last year, but substantially less than predicted July first.
 The total apple crop on August first was placed at nearly 3S mil- lion barrels compared with Q total of a year ago of 33 million and an estimate July first of 3S mil- lion. New England states are ex- pected to harvest much lighter apple crop than last year while Middle western and Middle Atlan- tic states, which were hardest hit by drought last year, are expected to produce much heavier crops this year. The Pacific coast states arc estimated about million bar rels less than last year.
 Eastern states are most of them expected to harvest q heavy peach crop, particularly Georgia and New Jersey. The total grape crop is estimated about 400 thousand tors less than last year and about 250 thousand tons less than esti- mated July first. Most of this decrease is predicted for California. Eastern states, which produce Concord type grapes. are expected to harvest more than last year. Unless otherwise stated quota. tions are based on sales of good merchantable products to retailers at farmcrs' market or by whole saIcrs).
