POND based on the first twenty years only, due to replanting, as follows: Discounting the net value per acre at the years we have the following expression: While most of us do not like insult added to injury, many of us, for finan cial reasons, are prone to carefully sur vey our losses, In order, if possible, to discover their causes and effects. By this means only can we guard against the same conditions which cause sim ilar losses in the future. In the apple industry, as in all other industries, the real significance of a loss is nec essary before we are willing to guard against its occurrance. After having talked with many of the growers in the Hood River district, the writer is impressed with the fact that many of the orchardists do not fully realize what it means financially to have to replant. To the man who is planting an orchard to turn over to the first buyer, the loss due to re planting is of little consequence; the chances are that a few- failures can be replaced at small cost and so long as the young orchard looks attractive, its Bale will not be Jeopardized by the presence of a few trees one year younger , but, to the man who plants an orchard in order to harvest the fruit in the years to come, the loss due to replanting is quite worthy of financial analysis. The booklet published by the Hood River Commercial Club states that an apple tree when five years old will produce one-fourth box to the tree or 16 boxes to the acre, where there are 64 trees to the acre. A six year old tree will produce 49 boxes to the acre, a seven year old, 97 boxes, "an eight year old, 195 boxes, a nine year old. 292 boxes and a ten year old 390 boxes. He estimates the net profits per box at II. Now assuming that the aver age annual yield in boxes will remain the same, and that the net profit per box will not change for the ten years between the tenth and twentieth years (this is an extremely conservative as sumption) and figuring at 5 per cent interest we get at the financial loss, 1.05'-12'54 Now supposing the young tree had failed and replanting had been resort ed to, then the sum of $16 would be realized in the year 6 instead of 5 and its present value would be f-$11.94 In this first crop we encounter a loss of $G per acre by having our returns removed one year in the future. By the same computation we determine the losses for the ensuing five years to be $1.74, $3.29, $8.28, $3.96, and $11.39 respectively. Now assuming that the crops and net profits remain unchang ed until the twentieth year we have at the present time the sum of an an nuity of 3'jO at 5 per cent for 10 years discounted 20 years, expressed as fol lows: -$1843.48 '-$1760.54 $3.90 (1.05w-l) 1.0520 (.05) Now if this annuity of ten years' standing should be delayed a year the expression would change to $390 (1.05,0-1) 1.05-1 (.05) The difference or loss in this case is $88.30. If now, we added all the losses Indicated up to this point wb get $120.56 to the acre or $1.88 to tn, tree. To this must be added the oris inal cost of the tree, $n.20, with inter est at 5 per cent Tor a year, $0.01, ($0.21 in all) and the cost of p:ant:ng and caring for the dtfunct tree which may be arbitrarily put at $0.20. This brings the total loss up to $2.29 per tree. Little does the average man re alize this (and these figures are very const rvative, covering as they do the fir.st 20 years only and utilizing th-? most rational values) but says simply, "I'll plant another little tree next spring, it will cost only 20 cents. Of course, I've lost a year's growth" but that "year's growth" represents nearly two dollars to the tree. To accentuate 3 rV Remain Young GARDEN Photo by American Pri Association.
