To easterner visitors here, unused to ine rruuruineMg or tne'wun i.eanflro district, the Idea of destroying such heavy tonnag of fruit ha brought horror, But pioneer frultgrowsrs claim tht unless the thinning process Is carried out to picking time there will be danger of many trees being overcome and ruined by the excessive slxe of the crop. Present Indications show that the apricot crop will be in shape for picking by early July.
