Plan of Charitable Societies for Apple Distribution
Reports from across the country note an exceptional apple harvest this year and indicate several charitable organizations plan to distribute fruit. Mrs. Samuel Wright Simpson urges contributors to send apples free of charge via Boston and Maine, Boston and Albany, and New York New Haven lines east of Willimantic. The largest distribution reached 50,000 bushels in Boston for over 5,000 applicants. The cranberry trade may decline due to the plentiful apples. Timber outlook in Eastern Maine remains strong with an estimated 160 million feet cut, 40 million used for pulp, and higher lumber prices. Japanese tea crop shortages push prices up 10 to 25 percent. Arizona expands with large alfalfa pastures supporting hog production. Tomatoes rise to about $1 per crate amid ample but fluctuating supplies.
