N. G. Peach, Apple
Crop Below Average

Raleigh, June 17-Reports from
North Carolina peach and apple
growers as of June l indicate a
we'll below-average crop for both
fruits this year.
The Federal-State crop reporting
service said today that the pre-
sent outlook for a poor crop of ap-
ples-about half the average-can
be almost entirely credited TO frost
damage that occurred on april 16.
The estimated peach production
this year-about 100000 bushels
is per cent less than the 1947
crop and 25 per cent less than the
10-year average, the service report
ed. This low production is also attri-
buted primarily in damage from
freezing weather in April.
Prospects are good, however, for
an above average production this
season of oats, rye and barley. The
wheat crop prospects remain un-
changed, while egg production dur
ing May dropped below that OF
April.
