PEACH CROP ENTIRE FAILURE
The Yield in Niagara District Will
Be Poorest in Many Years,
A despatch from Sb. Catharines
says : The past two weeks have con-
firmed the repeated early predic-
tions that the peach crop in the Nia-
gara district will be the poorest in
many years, notwithstanding the
large acreage of young trees that
this year should reach the bearing
stage for the first time.
Such well-known and prominent
growers as Major Hiscott, Jas. Ons-
low, Salem Muir, and jas. Brady
of Niagara township unhesitatingly
say that the peach crop is practi-
cally ruined, and that there will
not be five hundred baskets of
peaches marketed in the vicinity of
Virgil and Niagara:on-the-Lake.
Major Hiscott avers that instead of
the ileum' thousands of baskets that
lie and many neighbors usually ship
growers will not have enough for
their own use. Messrs. Onslow,
Bernard, James, Aikens,
and a few
others along the lake road say they
'cannot find a single bed in their
orchards.
While the failure of •the peach
crop will be felt heavily by commis-
sion men and transpeetation com-
panies, the blow will fall the most
heavily upon the young farmers who
have bought portions of farms at
high, figures with little eapital be-
hind them and have devoted all
their land and energy. to growing
peaehes instead of a mixed crop.
Japanese plums, too, will be
wane, but a fair crop of standard
variety of plums and pears is prom-
'ised, providing a few warm clays are
experienced. The smaller fruits,
etich as strawberries and raspber-
ries, promise well.
• A. W. McCubbin, Dominion Plant
Pathologist, in investigatingtile
conditions west of St, Catharines,
along the lake shore, found a grow-
er with a peach orchard of, from
eight to ten acres who offered to
take one dollar for his entire, crop.
