Apple Crop TO
Be 10 Percent
Below Average
COMMERCIAL CROP WILL SHOW
EVEN GREATER DECREASE,
SAYS REPORT

With the total apple crop Of the
United States for this season 10 per
cent below average, the commercial
crop, or that part which goes into
distribution thru wholesale channels OF
the industry, will show larger de-
crease than that. The commercial crop
will be less than the average for the
last 10 years, says The Pacific Coast
Packer in it's annual apple number.
A brief review of commercial crop
conditions shows that the crop in the
East is less than last year on the whole,
although New York state has prospects
for fairly good crop of Baldwins.
The Ohio valley has a reduced crop
compared with last year. The Ozark
region has light crop as general
rule. The Missouri river valley has
better. crop than last year. The north
central states will have as much fruit
as ordinarily Colorado and New Mex
leo are short. The Northwest has a
good crop, although Oregon will prob
ably have fewer apples than last year.
Dry weather in the East and Mid
west, rains during the blossom period
one of the heaviest June drops in years
and infestation of scab and aphis have
all served to reduce what earlier ap-
peared as a rather large crop in the
East. These factors combined have al
ready served to reduce the crop east of
the Mississippi to point considerably
under normal.
West of the Mississippi conditions
appear better. Colorado is short, Idaho
has more apples than last year, Wash
ington has fairly good crop and Ore
gon is less than 1882.
Virginia, one of the big commercial
apple growing states of the East, re-
ports less than half a full crop. In some
quarters the crop is estimated at not
more than Is per cent normal, while
others place it at half full crop. West
Virginia which last year had a crop 81
per cent of normal will have less COM
mercial fruit this year than last.
The Ohio valley has crop below
last year, although Kentucky has a
larger crop. In Ohio, for example, the
Lawrence county Rome Beauty district
reports two thirds of the Rome Beau
ties will be packed as unclassif1ed. The
Illinois crop is shorter than last year
A different picture comes from Mis-
souri, river valley where one OF the best
crops in years is in prospect To the
north Michigan also has good crop
with both quantity and quality above
last. The Colorado crop is below nor
NAL and hardly third of high pro-
duction years.
Idaho, on the other hand, promises
an increase over last year, the estimate
being $500 cars, compared with 46O'
last year. The California crop is abou
the same as last year, with qualit,
good. Hood River reports crop below
last year, one estimate placing the ton
mage at 1000 to 1900 cars compared
with 2,40O last year.

barked Claudette Colbert. one of

achievements.
The genesis was in 1924 Miss Col

ticularly about a stage career. At a
tea one day she met Anne Morrison,
the playwright, and jokingly asked her
for a part in her new play. The Wild
Westcotts." Miss Morrison took her
sally in earnest. and almost before she
knew it Miss Colbert was a full-fledged,
if unimportant, actress.
A faxed experience" of several sea-
sons, recounted in detail to Brock
Pembsrton, was sufficient next to Sc
cure Miss Colbert the leading feminine
role in The Marionette Man" Since
then-except for an interlude in an
aQ-Star cast of Leah Kleschna"-she
has appeared in nothing but leads.
Among her best known Broadway
successes have been The Cat, Came

Taxi" THE Ghost Train" THE Pearl
OF Great Price" The Barker" The
