Orchards Will Have
15r" Normal Cron
Haywood's apple crop -.viU be
about 40 per cent of normal, accord-
ing to estimates of leading orchard-
men of the county tlrs week.
Varying estimates of th crop
were made right after the heavy
freeze at Kaster, hut experienced
orchardmen always point out that
the "June drop" must be taken in
to consideration before placing an
estimate on any crop.
The average orchard will have
from :t," to 40 per cent of the aver
age crop, while Boiling Mall said
his orchard would have a 75 per
cent drop, due to I lie late varieties
in his orchard.
The estimates were made by
orchardmen at the Rotary Club
here Friday, as they were (he
guests of members of the club and
heard Fred Burroughs, assistant
secretary of the International Ap-
I pie Association.
The estimates of the Haywood
growers were as follows:

Mr. Burroughs pointed out that
there are 14.000 different varieties
of apples grown, although 16 com
mercial types account for (10 per
cent of the total on the' market.
"Apple growing is a science, and
is becoming more complex every
day," he pointed out, as he discuss
ed various diseases with which
orchardmen are flow confronted.
"Growing apples has become so
j scientific, that production is away

! consumption is increasing," he
j said. This statement pimpled Mr.

America is now exporting about
