Prospects for Michigan Peach Crop This Season
Reports from Charles Figg and Miles A Nelson indicate Michigan peaches survived adverse weather and will approach a ten year average in production at about 2 340 000 bushels though 85 percent below the 1943 peak. Large shipments from the south and high prices for canned goods. Home canning becomes crucial as demand outpaces supply. War Bonds encourage future security.
