Mr. Jacob Faith of A'ernon county. — The apple crop, I would 

 judge, is about 35 per cent, this year. Winesap about 15 per cent, 

 of a crop. Jonathan about 15 per cent, and Ben Davis about 20 per 

 cent, of a crop. Our peach trees are all loaded and should be thinned. 



Dr. Green, Livingston county. — Apple about 50 per cent. Ben 

 Davis sometimes full and sometimes not. Williow Twig, very full, 

 Maidens Blush, full crop, Gano, full crop and Jonathan not very much. 

 We have a very full peach crop. Plums a full crop. Peaches full. 

 No pears, one-third crop of Raspberries, one-third crop of blackberries. 



J. R. Helfrich, Miller county. — Apple will be about 75 per cent. 

 Ben Davis very full. Peaches loaded. Pears scarce, plums all right. 



Mr. INIurtfeldt of St. Louis county. — Ben Davis very full. Red 

 Astrachan never fails. Rawls Jennett never does anything for us. 

 Pears full. Seckle never blights. 



Randolph county. — Our Ben Davis have but very little fruit on 

 them at all. Some young trees have some fruit. They are suffering 

 from the Canker worm. Cherries good, pears doing very well and 

 peaches loaded. 



J. T. English, Cole count}'. — Apples pretty good. Full crop of 

 apple and peach. Our Apples are mostly Ben Davis. 



Moniteau county. — The orchards from 15 to 16 years up are pretty 

 good. The young trees, especially Ben Davis, are very shy. But \ve 

 will have about 75 per cent, of a crop any way. Never saw trees look- 

 ing better. Peaches, a full crop — as full as they can be. Pears are 

 shy. Cherries and plum full. 



Franklin county, St. Clair, Z\Io. — In our part of this county we 

 will have about 40 per cent. Peaches full. Red Astrachan, Rambo, 

 Willow Twig, Ben Davis and others full. 



Montgomery county. — I never saw such a peach crop as we 

 have this 3'ear. Yoimg trees and old trees, broken down trees and all 

 kinds are loaded. I expect about one-third of an apple crop. 



G. W. Waters, Callaway county. — Our orchards look well. Our 

 old trees are bearing. Old Ben Davis trees. Jonathan are on a strike 

 this year. Rome Beauty full, two-thirds of a crop. Peaches, full. 

 Pears doing very well. Cherries and plums, a good crop. 



S. Y. Thornton, Cooper count}-. — Ben Davis and Gano have a full 

 crop. Jonathan small crop, about one-fourth crop. No Jenetons at 

 all. 



N. F. ^lurray. Holt county. — We reported about three-fourths 

 of a crop sometime ago. That report was too high. The varieties 

 that are bearing mostly are W^inesap and Jonathan. We have about 

 one-half crop of apples. Peaches are full, cherries full, pears nothing, 

 plums very full. . -._.
