100000 Bushels Of '44 Apples
Still Stored, Awaiting Market

Consumers were being advised
that the crop this season will no
doubt be lighter than normal In
not only Eastern, but some Middle
Western States, and that now is a
good time to buy.
Efforts have been made, unsuc-
cessfully, to induce processing plants
to buy up much Of the surplus, a
move the plants would like to make
because Of the darkened prospects
for the 1945 crop. Inability to OBJ
tain sufficient labor for the plants is
the hitch.
Four cold storage plants operating
here accounted for the 100000
bushels Of fruit on hand today. The
Winchester Cold Storage Co. had
more than half of them-288, 900
bushels-compared with 25, 900 BUSH
els year ago.
Growers estimated that there are
at least 100000 bushels of the
fruit in storage throughout the
country.

Maryland u. Assigns
Two Experts 10 Make
Fruit Damage Survey

Two fruit specialists from the
University of Maryland are being
sent to the western fruit section of
the State today to make quantita-
tive surveys of orchard damage
caused by two nights of killing frosts
last week.
DR.. Charles H. Mahoney, head of
the universitys horticulture depart
ment, said that while accurate
knowledge of damage to the State S
S. 100000 fruit crop must await this
survey, estimates made over the
week end indicate that so to so per
cent of all varieties of apples were
killed.
DR.. Mahoney said these estimates
were made Saturday and yesterday
during a tour of the western Sec
ton of the State. He added that
reports from the Eastern Shore re-
gion indicate that the damage there
was pretty severe.
Outlook "Not So Good.S
"The outlook for Maryland fruit
crops is not 50 good at this time, ;"
Dr.. Mahoney said. 1T wouldn't
be so bad if this was April 25, about
the date we can expect the last
frost, but as it is we still have
about three weeks to 60 in which
we can expect killing weather"
DR.. Mahoney said Robert Allen,
a large Eastern Shore grower, re-
ported frost damage was heavy in
that area. The horticulturist de-
scribed Mr.. Allen as mot a pessi-
mist" adding that his reports gen.
orally were accurate.
Meanwhile, reports Of serious
damage to Virginia's peach and
apple crops continued to come in
from various sections of the State.
$50 Kill Seen in Some Areas.
While agricultural statisticians
warned of attempts to give accurate
estimaes of frost damage this early,
orchardists in some sections reported
as high as 95 per cent OF some
varieties of apples killed.
Robert E. WOrSley, Shenandoan
Valley grower, said survey Of
orchards west of Winchester dis
closed that 80 or IS per cent of
Stayman, Jonathan and Delicious
varieties had been seriously hurt.
A. C. Oates, another grower in the
area. said so to rs per cent of
the York Imperial crop had been
critically hurt by the cold.
In the Charlottesville area, in
Guiding Crozet, growers said half
the peach and apple crop had been
lost, while in Halifax County, noted
for its tobacco rather than fruit,
it was reported that fruit losses
would amount to between $250,00O
and $500 900.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WINCHESTER, Va, April O.
Apple growers of the four-State
Appalachian area are being plagued
by one headache after another.
After the wintry bareback of last
week seriously damaged the poten-
tial l945 crop in many localities,
there came a disclosure today that
more than 100000 bushels of last
years output still are in cold storage
plants here with no buyers in sight.
Unless the fruit can be moved
into consumer channels at even q
small margin of profit, much of the
leftover fruit may have to be
dumped.
Many of the apples still in storage
are small, having been dwarfed by
last summers drought, but otherwise
are said to be of good quality. It
has been suggested by growers that
buy now for canning
without sugar, which can be added
later.
