FRUIT GROWERS FACING GLOOM Yakima Producers Hit by Pests, Low Prices By Jack Hall YAKIMA, Oct. 26.—The apple har- vest, which is now in its fourth quar. ter, finds growers thruout this val 1” ley none too happy. Three elements contribute to the gloom: (1) The yleld will total only £6,500 to 9,000 cars, as against the record crop last year of 12,000 cars, (2) A large fraction of the fruit is wormy, due to ravages of the coddling moth—an enemy that never before successfully at- tacked the trees here. (3) The price is discouraging: ly low. The condition ts quite, the reverse of what it was in 1921. Then there was an unprecedentedly heavy pro- duction in the Yakima district and a virtual failure of the whole Eastern crop. This season the East is re- porting a heavy apple yield In spite of the seven sprayings to which every well-brought-up Yakima apple tree is subjected each season, the coddling moth this time got in his dirty work, and his multitudinous offspring bored in from all directions. An unusual period of hot weather is generally mentioned as the reason for his success, As a result, truckloads of oth- erwise wonderful fruit are going to the cider mills and by-products planta, In some localities vast quantities are being dumped into the ri In some cases the producers are being paid less for their crop than it has actually cost them to grow.
