Bulletin Issued by California Cured Fruit Association. Spectal Dispatch to The Call N JOSE, July 12.—The Cali | Cured Fruit Association, which cently organized by the prune-growers of | the State to handle the dried prune crop, to-day dssued the following signed bul- letin in regard to the fruit crop at this son: ave carefully gathered reports from of this association during the past week concerning the effect of what Is known the “June drop” on growing frult crop, c prunes. Our reports are especially m this county (Santa Clara), which furnishes three-fifth of the prune outpuf of the State, and cofvinces that the severity of drop is unparalieled in recent years. Re- ts Indicate that the drop will reducé the out- put from 10 to 20 per cent from previous esti- mates. The drop seems to be more severe in s county than in the State autside. In some orchards nearly all the prunes are dropping from the trees. The causes of the severe drop are First, the hot spell that came just at the critical veriod; second, lack of molsture in the subsofl as a result of light rainfall for the past few years. Only a few orchards have escaped. Prun slightly affected by spring frost remained on trees until the hot wave came. The effect on peaches and apricots has been to ripen them prematurely, thus diminishing their weight and size.” Aprl- cots are also drying out heavily on trays. This will lessen the total output con- siderably. The California Cured Frult As- socfation controls nearly % per cent of the prune crop of the State.
