SHORT APPLE
CROP is SEEN
Will Fall Far Below Last Year
According TO the Della
ware Market Bureau
FALL CROP OUTLOOK

Federal inspected shipments OF
U. S. No. l and u S. Utility Ap-
Piles in Delaware are between 25
and 50 per cent of last year. Total
production of apples this year in
Delaware will be around 43 pei
cen of 1887. Factors entering into
this situation are many. In Sus-
sex several hail storms contributed
largely. In face Of the fact that
experience has proven that seldom
one bumper crop follows another,
the trees throughout the state,
blossomed fully. Heavy rains in
blossom time ruined whatever
chance existing for a good crop.
Throughout the Shenandoah Val
ley Maryland and Delaware the
crops will be off this year. In 1887
less than per cent of Delaware's S
No. 1 apples were exported. This
year certificates of export We're is
sued for Canada and the United
Kingdom, leaving 80 cars for do
mestic consumption. In 1887 u.s.
900 bushels were certified -consti-
tuting a 100 per cent bumper crop.
This year 68,OOO bushels were GER
titled. The grade of the fruit was
good, however, 95 per cent having
been Federal inspected All this
naturally makes us look for higher
prices. In the opinion of the
Market Bureau, however, 10 cent
increase per bushel should be am
pie. Prospects are fairly good for
the late crop. We expect a good
crop of Staymans and Romes and
a reasonable yield of Yorks. The
crop of Red Delicians, Golden De
licians and Jonathans will be small.

EXCESS HARVEST WILL
CUT FARMERS SUBSIDY
Payments Under New Farm Pro-
gram to Depend on Acreage
Grown

Farmers who harvest more than
their allotted acreage of major crops
face drastic deductions in their Fed
eral subsidy payments under the new
farm program, officials at Washington
said on Saturday.
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration announced detailed reg
ulations governing payment OF bene-
fits from $500,00O,00O Congress is au-
thorized to appropriate for financing
the new crop control law.
Crops affected include cotton, corn,
wheat, tobacco, rice, potatoes, pea
nuts and others designated officially
as "soil-depleting."
The new farm act authorizes pay
ment of subsidies to growers who dl-
vert land from these crops to those
which improve the soil and who use
other practices which the AAA says
are soil-building.
In announcing the regulations, j. B
Hutson, assistant AAA administra-
tor, said the subsidy or "soil conser-
walton" phase of the farm program
was designed to do more than improve
and maintain soil fertility. He said cit
will tend to keep production in line
with crop requirements.
Other provisions of the new act au-
thorize the use of a marketing quota
system, when approved by two-thirds
of the GROWERS voting in referenda,
