A NATION'S APPLi:
TREES.
In an accounting just published
and said to cover the last day of last
June the number of apple trees In
-.the United States is placed at 201,
794, C42. Missouri leads the list of
States and Territories with 20,040,
390 trees, while New York is second
with 15.054.S32.
It happens that these, except in
the case of New York, are the figures
.given in the census report for 1900.
In the ten years beginning with 1890
the increase in the number of apple
trees in the country was over 80,
000,000. Eight years of another de
cade have now passed. That the
count remains unchanged since that
tremendous gain of 1890-99 must be
regarded as somewhat amazing if
it is a fact.
However, a mere reckoning of
trees is misleading as a means of
comparing States' shares in the ap-jple-raislng
industry. New York's
orchards produced over 24,000,000
Ibushels in 1S99, Pennsylvania was a
close second and Ohio was third with
more than 20,000,000 bushels. Mis
souri's nearly G, 500, 000 bushels
placed her ninth on tho list. The
.average yield In Now York, accord
ing to a State Fruit Growers' Asso
ciation report of 1902, Is about three
and one-half bushels per tree, which
ought for 15,000,000 trees to bring
ajp a total of over 52,000,000 bush
els. There is quality also to be con
sidered. Missouri offers the tasteless
Ben Davis apple, which finds ready
rand heavy sale even on the Atlantic
seaboard because of its coloring.
"Western New. York produces tho
Northern Spy in its highest quality.
Jn the next census report Oregon will
figure more promising and then we
will hear more of the Coos Bay Gra
jenstein which Is undoubtedly
.the best all-round apple ever wet by
;the rain and warmed by the sun.
It Is pleasant to reflect that on a
per-capita basis of division, when ex
treme socialism comes into Its own,
each of us in America may liaro to
' himself at least two trees from which
