The chief interest of. the reports for the month of August centres livn the apple crop. It has now reached a stage where the quantity can be settled with some deï¬niteness. though there are several contingen- cies yet to be taken into account. The prospects of last month with re- ference to early and fall applesghave been, for the mostcpartv, maifnttu'med. The dry weather has caused a cer- tain shrinkage by prci'enting proper growth as well: as 'by causing a. largerinumbcr to drop from - the trees' than usual. The weather has also been faVorablu; for insect pests. As the early apples have ripened they have been shipped to thevxlocal market, to the. Northwest and. to Great Britain in liberal quantities. The estimate placed upon the mam tity of fruit ' available for winter shipment is less‘for August than in any preceding report. Nova Scotia continues td expect a medium crop‘ of whiter-"apples, the Kings and Ben Denis being reported poorer. the Kings in quantity and the Ben Davis in quality. Prince Edward .lsland will have a. ve‘ry light crop of winter apples, approaching in most casas to a failure.
