Indiana Peach, Apple Production Down This Year LAFAYETTE — Indiana’s commercial peach and apple crops are sharply below 1971 production, say state-federal agricultural statisticians at Purdue university. Reporting prospects as of July 1, the statisticians forecast a peach crop of 200,000 pounds — the smallest of record. Warm weather last winter followed by a sharp drop to sub-zero tems peratures in January resulted in many frozen trees because they had not hardened off properly. Indiana’s 1971 peach production was 11 million pounds. The state’s apple crop at 70 million pounds will be 22 per cent smaller than the 1971 production. Winter damage and a freeze early in April injured many of the state’s orchards, the statisticians explain. Fruit maturity is running 10 days to two weeks behind normal. The trials of living and the pangs of disease make even the short span of life too long.
