By Paul Emerson In Morrison s Chicago Weekly (Copyright. 1911, by It. W Emerson.) Tho upplo Is tending year by year to assume the characteristics of a luxury Anything delightfully edible becomes n luxury when It becomes scarce, and sta tistics show that the apple production of tho country hns been following u steady decllpo In volume.

If population con- tltuted the reason for the shortnge, It would admit of argument that tho condi tion might be remedied by the planting of more orchnrds; but when the reason lies us It does In tho present Instunco, In the limited ureas of land suited to successful upplo growing, we lire forced I to the conviction thut wo nro In for an apple famine that must bu permanent. It will be expensive for tho upplo enter, but for the tipple grower It will mean money nnd un ensy Independence. Every llttlo while I recelvo nn Inquiry which reads substantially llko this: "Isn't tho planting of so many apple orchards In the Pacific northwest likely to cause an overpinduetlon and make npples n drug on the market?" 1'vo responded Imnrlubly that the the ory would be quite plausible If the Pa cific northwest were suitable over Itu entire urea for apple growing. The truth or the matter is that tho ureas in the Pacific northwest where upples can bo grown successfully bear about the same relation to tho geographical urea os u whole ns do pin pricks on a horse blan ket.
