Producers Of York App|e-
Urged 10 CurtaiI Crop
BY the Associated Press.

BLACKSBURG. Va. April 4
Dr. Fred w. HofMann, in cha,
of horticultural research at the W.
ginia Agricultural Experiment Ste
ton, suggested today that Virginia
producers of York Imperial apples
curtail their 1889 crop to conform
to prospective demand.
Regulation of output can be ac-
complished, he said, by killing of
a number of the fruit buds with P
spray used successfully for that pur-
pose in experiment station tests.
Not only can the prospective re-
ord York bud set be reduced b.
spraying, DR.. Holman said. but
supplementing this process with lij7-
eral soil fertilization should e>-
hance the chances of a better crcp
next year, the of" year in the hicl
and low production cycle.
Such control measures appc2"
highly advisable, the horticulture
said, because of the uncertainty Of
benefits to apple exporters from the
British-American trade agreement
and the inability of the domestic
market to absorb large crop at a
profit to the growers.
According to the recent trade
agreement, American fresh apples
are supposed to be placed on a bet
ter competitive basis with British
colonial interests which are i'm
mune to the duty tax. This hope
thrown out to our apple exporters
will be nothing more than a smoke
screen if the British pound sterling
continues at its present low level

Wholesale Commodity
Index al New Low

A decline in commodity prices last
week took the wholesale price index
compiled by the National Fertilizer
Association out of the narrow range
in which it had been fuctuating
since early in January.
This index in the week ended
April dropped to 72.4 per cent of
the 1868 average. new low point
for the year. The 1888 low point,
and also the lowest since 1884, was
1913, recorded last October. A year
ago the index was 755 and two
years ago 1877.
Lower prices for foods and farm
products were largely responsible for
the decline in the all-commodlty
index. The decline in the food
price index took it to the level that
was reached in the middle of March,
the lowest since July, 1884 The
index of farm product prices was
also at a new low point for the
current recession.
The grain average rose moderately,
but this was more than offset III
the farm product group by declines
in cotton and livestock. Lower prices
for cotton yarns and silk resulted
in a downturn in the textile price
average.
The building material index, which
had increased in each Of the preced-
ing five weeks, receded last week,
rejecting lower lumber prices. Slight
increases took place in the indexes
representing the prices OF fuels and
metals.
