GOOD FRUIT CROP IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR CURRENT SEASON North Carolina promises its but fruit crop in years, based on condi tion* of June 16th. Conditions in dicated fifty per cent of a full crop of apple* and 66 per cent for peacV es. Practically all fruit throughout the State made a satisfactory growth of wood and a splendid set of fruit beds for this year's crop. Favorable weather prevailed during the winter ard with the exception of weakened peach trees very little winter injury occurred. The spring wss late and the early part was favorable, but frost, frees ing weather, cold winds, and cold rainy weather during April and May were responcible for the reduction ii the crop in Piedmont and Moun tain sections. The apple crop in these section* was injured by the frosts and cold that occurred in April around the 6th'and 14th and during 16th and 16th of May but the most general in jury was caused by unfavorable wea ther at blooming time. The rainy weather and cold winds that prevailed ir many sections during blooming time caused poor pollination by pre venting the unrestricted work of in sects. There was a heavy bloom in most sections but as a result of poor pollination a large amount of fruit dropped off. Peaches in the mountains and Pied mont sections were injured by frost and cold during April and in certain sections the frost and cold period in May reduced the crop. Practically a full crop of peaches is indicated throughout the Coastal Plain and the Sand Hills. However, in these sec tions, there has been a considerable winter injury to the trees. | In the Sand Hill section, which is the largest commercial peach district in the State, a splendid crop ef peach es will be harvested. The number of bearing trees is increasing every year and the prduction this year will be in the neighborhood of 260 cars. Good prices are being quoted for peaches at this date on the different markets, and returns should prove satisfactory. The drop was heavy throughout the 1 State this year, especially go with apples throughout the moon tains be cause of poor pollination and frosty weather. While blight has been in dicated as being severe in some sec tions, the state as a whole reports very little blight this year. Grapes and small fruit* indicate a very good crop year. Pecans in Eastern North Carolina promise to be below normal because of the very heavy production ef last year and the unfavorable weather in certain sections at blooming'time. A good If crop it indicated through out the eastern part of the state. A Tribute of Respsst.
