Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fruit Situation, Vol. 100: August, 1951
Prices, received by growers for apples in July. And August averaged considerably less than in the same months of 1950. Prices on the New York City and Chicago wholesale markets also were lowers The decline 'from last summer results chiefly from the larger crops of summer and fall varieties, larger production of other fruits, and large supplies of canned and fro zen fruits and juices. Grower prices usually decline during summer and early fall as harvest mg reaches peak volume. About the usual seasonal declines seem likely this September and October.
With a larger pe centage of the 1951 apple crop consisting of summer and fall varieties, a. Larger percentage of the total crop in the Central and Eastern States, and good sizing of the fall and winter apples in prospect, more apples probably will be marketed this summer and fall than in that period of 1950. Increased movement of apples early in the season is necessary to help prevent a recurrence of burdensome stocks and declining prices as in the first half of 1951.
