REPORT FROM DlvSTRlCT NO. 13. 



COMPRISING FRONTIER;, (iOSPER, RED WILLOW., AND FURNAS 



COUNTIES. 



Our fruit crop iu this district was very light this year ow- 

 ing to frost in the spring. It caught most all of the peaches 

 except a few of the Russell and Crosby. The cherry crop was 

 just fair, not a full crop. Apples, owing to dry weather 

 through July and August, were pretty small. The best vari- 

 eties were Utter^s Red, Yellow Transparent, Whitney, and 

 Genet. On account of spring frosts and dry weather in the 

 summer the crop was shortened considerably. 



The plum crop was injured more by drouth than from any 

 other cause, making the fruit very small.

REPORT FROM DISTRICT NO. 17. 



COMPRISING CHERRY COUNTY. 



Apples were a fair crop where on low land and ground 

 water near. Plums were also a good crop. Cherries and 

 plums were good on high dry land where cultivated and 

 also a few apples in such places. The growing season was a 

 dry one and hail storms were numerous. The recommended 

 list of fruits for this district is good from my observation. 

 However, I would take from it the Virginia Crab. It is a 

 good grower but too shy a bearer. 



C. M. VanMetre^ Director.
