Among the Fruit Growers 
New York Reports Lighter Apple Crop Than 1922 
T he month of May was by far the 
dryest month of the year, and all 
crops in Western New York showed 
effects of the drouth. Only 2.13 inches 
precipitation were recorded at the So- 
dus sub-station of the Weather Bureau. 
The mean temperature for the month 
was 52.1 degrees, with a maximum 
reading of 83 degrees and a minimum 
of 27. It was a month of eri’atic 
changes, the first thunderstorm being 
registered on the 16th, followed by a 
snowstorm on the next day. Small 
fruits were damaged by the low tem¬ 
peratures, though this damage will be 
much less in the strip of towns facing 
Lake Ontario. 
The canners throughout the fruit and 
vegetable belts of the State are making 
big plans on the present season, and 
many plants have been improved and 
enlarged in anticipation of the indus¬ 
try at last reaching a firm basis of 
growth, without hindrance of war, fuel 
or labor conditions.—A. H. P. 
In Western New York 
Monroe Co.—Apple trees are in full 
bloom. Early varieties have passed 
the height of bloom. On the better 
ground and a little back from the lake, 
where the season is a little in advance 
of the lake shore belt, late varieties, 
such as the Baldwins, are in full bloom. 
In general, the late varieties are show¬ 
ing good bloom. All varieties promise 
a shorter crop than last year. The 
weather has been fairly favorable for 
pollenation, although it is a trifle cool 
for bees to work well. 
Niagara Co.—From all indications 
the fruit crop will be about 50 per cent 
normal through this section. Young 
peach trees are quite heavily set, while 
the old trees are not so heavy. Green¬ 
ings promise a light crop, Baldwins 
show up much better than Greenings. 
It looks as though the Bartlett pear 
crop will be short, while trees of Kief- 
fer variety are heavily laden. 
Wyoming Co.—In general, the sea¬ 
son throughout this territory is ap¬ 
proximately two weeks behind last 
year. Indications are that the pear 
crop will be light. Apples look good, 
with the exception of Baldwins, which 
are blooming rather light. 
Ontario Co.—From all indications, 
the peach crop this year will be short. 
Greenings and Baldwins are expected 
to yield a fair crop, much in compari¬ 
son to last year. 
Seneca Co.—-Frosts during the last 
week of May nipped early garden truck, 
which necessitated replanting. Very 
little fruit was affected. Sweet cherries 
suffered most. Cherry and peach grow¬ 
ers are looking for a bumper crop this 
year in the Geneva section. 
In the Hudson Valley 
Columbia Co.—Apples, peaches and 
cherries are in heavy blossom, with the 
exception of some Baldwins. It looks 
as though the pear crop will be short. 
Frost did little or no damage north of 
the city of Hudson. South of the city, 
however, some damage was done to 
early apples and pears. Recent rains 
and cold damaged the set of pears and 
early apples. It is a trifle early at this 
date to predict with any degree of ac¬ 
curacy how heavy the various crops 
will be. 
Rensselaer Co.—^All varieties of ap¬ 
ples are in full bloom with the excep¬ 
tion of Wealthy, Last year this variety 
bore heavily, while this year will yield 
not much more than 50 per cent of a 
crop. Pears are rather light. Indica¬ 
tions from the bloom promises about a 
50 per cent crop of that of last year. 
Small fruits bloomed quite full, al¬ 
though they were injured to some ex¬ 
tent by frost. 
TO TEST EFFECT OF DUSTING 
FRUIT IN WAYNE COUNTY 
The New York State College of Agri¬ 
culture has stationed H. W. Fitch on 
the Sodus Fruit Farm, Inc., to conduct 
an extensive dusting and spraying ex¬ 
periment this season. The work will 
consist of experimenting with various 
kinds of sulphur and copper lime dust, 
in order to find out the best materials 
to use and the best times to use them. 
The experiments will be tried out on 
peaches, sour and sweet cherries, ap¬ 
ples, plums and prunes. In the case of 
the apple, the dusting will be compared 
with liquid, in its efficiency in control¬ 
ling insects and diseases. Both large 
and small trees will be used. It is 1^- 
lieved that more growers are dusting 
fruit in Wayne County than in any 
other county of the State, and this 
experimental work conducted by Mr. 
Fitch ought to be very valuable from 
the standpoint of the many who dust. 
Last year these experiments were 
conducted in a Greening orchard on the 
farm of E. W. Catchpole & Sons, of 
North Rose. Dust mixtures were used 
at the rate of four pounds per tree and 
spray mixtures at the rate of seven 
and one-third gallons per tree. Six ap¬ 
plications were made, with the excep¬ 
tion of plat 2, which had seven treat¬ 
ments. Nicotine sulphate was used 
•with lime-sulphur in the calyx applica¬ 
tion in plats 4 and 5, and with dust 
preparations for the calyx treatment 
of plats 2 and 3.

SPRAY RINGS YIELD DIVIDENDS 
A recent release from the central 
office of the Western New York Co¬ 
operative Packing Association on the 
comparative returns of sprayed and 
unsprayed apples, carries a message to 
fruit growers that will stand consider¬ 
able study. 
All the local associations in the West¬ 
ern New York Cooperative were divid¬ 
ed into two groups. One group embodied 
those associations in counties where 
there is a spray service. It has been 
found, that the growers in this group 
will receive a probable pool price of 55 
cents more per barrel on Baldwins, tree 
run, and 33 cents more per barrel on 
Greenings, tree run, over the price re¬ 
ceived by those growers in the group of 
associations where no spray service 
was available. 
A second sub-division, according to 
the release, was made by dividing the 
members of the associations where 
spray service was available into two 
groups. Those who received the service 
will receive approximately 17 cents 
more per barrel for Baldwins and 25 
cents more per barrel for Greenings, 
than the growers in that group who did 
not have the service although it was 
available. 
A third comparison was made among 
the growers who actually received the 
service. Those who received the service 
and really used it, in, 13 associations 
where it was possible to get intimate 
knowledge of the growers, will average 
25 cents more per barrel, tree run, on 
Baldwins and 27 cents more per barrel, 
tree run, on Greenings, than the aver¬ 
age of all other growers in the same 
association who received the service but 
did not use it. The total differential 
therefore is on the average 97 cents 
per barrel on Baldwins and 85 cents per 
barrel on Greenings, tree run, 
A clear indication of how the spray 
rings are operating lies in the fact 
that growers are voluntarily requesting 
that they be included in the service. 
It means a great deal to those men in 
counties where there is no spraying 
service. They need it. They are miss¬ 
ing something. It means a great deal 
more to the man who has it, but does 
not use it. He is throwing opportunity 
away.
