Apple Crop In Britain Seen As Overstated By Butler
Harry W. Butler of H W Butler and Bro says English apple crops may be overestimated after visiting Kent Surrey regions and markets. He notes heavy losses from cap weevil, scrubs on leaves, and predicts lighter yields for York and Stayman varieties, with Gravensteins and Wealthys moderate in size but good quality. Butler and family run 1,400 acres and will attend the International Apple Association Convention in Cincinnati in August.
