mind. Its program is to provide a
quality car in each price field. Already
this program has led to the develop
ment of cars that differ widely in type
and special features, each designed to
serve a special purpose.
Thousands of dollars are being
i spent annually in attem pts to make
fruit trees bear which are unprofit
able simply because a given variety Is
not at home In the p articu lar section
where It was planted, according to
W. 8. Borck, of the pomology division,
college of agriculture, University of
Illinois. Most of the tim e and money
thus spent Is wasted, thus giving at
least one Incentive to choose varieties
carefully, using as a basis the experi
ments and observations of reliable
agencies such as the colleges and the
, experiment stations, he said.
•‘The variety Is tlie key to success
ful fruit growing, but varieties of
fruit vary widely In adaptability, both
to %>ll and climate. A variety may
thrive on some of the fertile, well
drained soils of w estern Illinois, but
refuse to beur profitable crops when
planted on other types of soil In the
same latitude. Still other varieties
are quite tolerant of poor soil condi
tions, but need such a long season
for proper development th a t they can
be grown only In the South.
"For horticultural purposes, Illinois,
for lustunce, muy be taken as con
sisting of three districts ench com
posing roughly one-third of the lati
tude covered by the state. V arieties
adapteil to each district have been
tabulated and such variety lists are
available for free distribution to res
idents of the state who request them
of the experim ent station of the col
lege of agriculture.
“in addition to adaptability, choice
of variety depends upon the use for
which a fruit plantation Is to be
planted. A home orchard may con
sist of many varieties, the ripening
season of which should extend from
the earliest to the latest. A commer
cial orchard should have few varieties
In order that a large volume of fruit
Is ready ut one tim e to facilitate
economical marketing. Thus a farm
apple orchard might contain 20 vari
eties with only 30 trees, while a com
mercial orchard of 1,500 trees should
have not more than 5 varieties.
"A pencil orchard for home use would
he Incomplete with less than a doxen
' rees, hut a commercial peach orchard
if 100 acres will In most cases con
tain but two vnrletles.
"The variety question Is a local one
and no orchard should be planted
without considering all of the above
questions In addition to securing
nch Information ns may he obtained
by visiting fru it plantations In the
neighborhood.”
