Utahs apple production thig year will be (well below last years figures, but 1925 was something of a boom year for the apple industry of this state. On July the estnmated latest figures production was 896,000 bushels, of which 582,000 were classed as commercial apples. On this date the official estimate of tbe condition of the crop was 80 per ent, a falling off of eight iper cent from June ;1. In 1925 the apple production of the state was 1,250,--00- 0 bushels, of which 870,000 iwtere commercial apples. The hot, dry breather between June 1 and July 1 this year ,was hard on the apple crop of the state along with certain other crops. Jonathans account for more than half of the apple crop of Utah, but , many varieties are grown, including Delicious, Banana and ethers. Among the principal applegrowing counties of the state are r, Utah, Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, latTooele, Washington the ter county producing early varieties of the fruit. Apples in Utah this year are free from damage by pest, except in one or two sections, due to aggressive but these spraying operations, sprays have given rise to another problem. The growers are new making big efforts to cleanse the frufit from spray residue. A few dayg ago at a conference in Salt Lake City of growers, shippers, state and federal agricultural officials, federal food authorities and other interested parties, it was decided to inspect all apples at the shipping point and to wipe those having spray residue. See Solution of Problem. The growers have been worried for the past few weeks over this nqw problem, but it is now believed that a way out of the difficulty is as sured. Harden Bennion, State Com missioner of Agriculture, said a few days ago that he had no fear regarding results of examination of Utahs apples at foreign ports, now that the fruit was to be inspected ficr spray residue at shipping point. Commissioner Bennion in a statement not long ago, criticized Utahs fruit growers, particularly the apple grqwers, for permitting the trees to produce to their capacity in favor1 able year, which had the effect of slowing up production the fallowing year, besides resulting in inferior fruit during the flush year. Many of Utahs apple trees, too, are above the tage limit and agricultural officials are urging that new trees be ' Winesap, Box-elde- planted right aw,ay, Mr. Bennion said.
