The apples iu this section are about 50 
per cent of a crop, caused by late Spring 
frosts and the severe drought. The roots 
of the trees have not been wetted by the 
rains since May. In cultivated orchards 
the fruit is very good; trees that were 
not well sprayed fruit small and very 
poor. Buyers are paying $2 to .$2.25 per 
barrel for the fruit. Pears and peaches 
good crop; potatoes about 20 per cent 
of crop and selling at $1 per bushel.
