reau as a possible solution of mar
keting problems intensified by the
continued expansion in citrus pro
duction. The number of apple
trees that are yet to come into
bearing is small, and if new plant
ings and requirements continue as
light as during the last few years,
hence may be materially lower
than it is now. New paintings of
pear trees are reported very small,
but the large number of trees not
Vet in full bearing will result in
further production gains for a
number of years. The Bureau
points out that smaller production
ii most areas will be more than
offset by continued increases in
prospect for the Pacific Coast
States and, to a more moderate
extent, for Michigan. Peach pro
duction during the next 5 years is
expected to average somewhat
larger than the 1933-37 average of
5 million bushels. Although the
outlook for peaches for fresh mar
ket appears relatively favorable
for the next few years, growers
are warned that planting at a rate
equal to that of the past few years
may bring burdensome supplies
some 5 to 10 years hence" Grape
crops during the next few years
probably will average larger than
for the last few seasons. although
smaller than the unusually large
production in 1888 and 1887. A
small increase in cherry production
is indicated for the next 8 to 5
years, although production in a
number Of States appears to have
reached a peak. Changes in the
level of consumer incomes will
continue an important factor af-
fecting fruit prices and returns to
growers, the Bureau economists
said.
