Dr. J. K. Shaw makes the following comments in regard 

 to the fruit crop: 



"Cold weather following bloom interfered with a full 

 set of apples, although most orchards have a fair crop. 

 A few scattered orchards in the state suffered heavy or 

 complete loss of crop from frost. The effect of the recent 

 severe winters is still seen in Baldwins and other non- 

 hardy varieties in weakened wood and light crops. Peaches 

 set enough for a good crop on trees not suffering severely 

 from cold winters. Frost, dry weather following set, and 

 rot favored by rain during the ripening period reduced 

 the strawberry crop somewhat. Sweet cherries still show 

 signs of cold winters but sour cherry trees have a good 

 crop. Raspberry plants were not abnormally injured by 

 the winter and carry a good crop."
