No quantity estimates were giv en, but the bureau, assuming that ad- verse conditions do not affect the-crop later, said that the April 1 condition report indicates that the 1§19 peach crop may possibly exceed the very light crop of 0,546,000 bushels in 1913 by as much as 40 per cent, and may equal if not exceed the 28,901,000 bush- el crop of 1917.
