Apples were generally reported as being a light to very poor crop. Pears, 

 average crop; plums and prunes, poor to fair; cherries, poor to fair: small 

 fruits, good. The short fruit-crop was due to the late spring frosts. A large 

 proportion of the orchards are young, and practically only sufficient fruit is 

 grown for home consumption in many localities.
