Of this sml-i tw (f tieniy arousea. wiuespreuu uuervi m the fascinating science of agrieul tnref These are natural questions to nsk nnd are of utmost importune?. Mnrkvt for Apple (irows. ,Vil! this great development of the npple lands result in overproduction? The answer must come back No! The production, of apples during the -past year aggregated in the United "States only 23,000.000 barrels, but one-third of the largest crop the country has ever had that of lSflb, when it reached 00,000.000 barrels. The market for American apple to day is much larger than ever before, because the American is living bet ter, than did his fathers am. fruit has become one of the necessities of the table. As regards jxissible overproduction In the irrigated areas of the west, the -.-answer must again e No ! nnd with emphasis. In those favored districts which arp truly equipped by nature? tiided by man's ingenuity, as npple prniving areas, the orehardist do not Tnisc a staple article. Their apple 1 a luxury a fruit that appeals to the man who has no thought or care , ns to the price. The demand for this 'luxury is growing greater each day. not onlv in America, bat ifi Enroje Probably one-half the crop of the preat apple districts of the west w.i yold in Eurone this yonr. There i no dnngcr of overproduction in this class of npple. because the areas particularly suitable for the highest class of npple culture are quite lim ited. Itaiscd Almost Kverywlierr. Applos can be grown in almost nny . section of the United States. The bench lands of Montana, scorned ten years ago as wasteless dosert, are itoday producing tasty apples. The middle states and the enst have long had their successful orchards, nnd the mnn who will give to his orchard the same diligent care as does the horticulturist in one of the highly de veloped npple districts of tho west can raise a very edible and high 'cbifis apple. There is room for lots of orchard development develop ment that will pay big profits if han llod intelligently, in every section of the country. Hut the bait which attracts tho eve of tho mnn turning his eye to the westward is the brightly polishod. perfectly colored und spotless big red npplo of a few highly favored dis tricts. Tho npple to the man is like the glimmering, fenthery spnonhonl: gliding over the luir of the black hass. ITe jumps for it. It is iittrac five to the eye. it looks pleasing to tho palate, and the story of how it is grown is one thut must fascinate any man who hn a touch of nature in his heart. Land Must Bo Studied. Tho man who deeidos to go into npplo culture in the wost should study his proposed purchase of lnud carefully. There is a grent deal of forlilo land in tho west now under ir rigation ditches tho majority is a fertile as any Hint lios outdoors. But it is not nil good nnple land.
