Most of Fruits To Cost More This Fall
The Agriculture Department reports higher prices for most non citrus fruits this fall due to smaller production and rising demand. Peaches are set for a sharp price rise as yields fall, while apples will be 12 percent below 1949 output but above the long 1939-48 average. Pears fall 21 percent from last year and 6 percent below average. An estimated 52 million bushels of peaches in 1950 reflect a 31 percent drop from 1949 and 26 percent under the average.
