THE APPLE CROP.

The general public has always shown alarm when any damage was threatened to the corn crop. Yet, according to a statement given out by the Independent, the apple crop is a very important feature. This statement places the value of the corn crop of 1899 at $629,210,110, the value of the hay crop at $411,926,187, the value of the wheat crop at $319,545,250, the value of the cotton crop at $305,467,041, and the value of the oats crop at $198,167,975, while the value of the apple crop for 1900 is given in round figures at $430,000,000. It will be seen that in point of monetary value the apple crop was second only to the corn crop.
