TUKRl'l is no more (lunger oC over production oC high
grade eonnnereial apples in tho United States and
Canada than there is of American liens laying more eggs
than can be marketed.
Wo frequently hear the remark that t.he planting of
fruit trees is being overdone in tho Paeifie slope and inter
mounlain country and that beforo long apples will bo a
glut on the market. Certainly this is most erroneous,
especially from the standpoint oL demand, production aim
tho increase in population.
Reports of the department of agriculture show that in
tho face of a rapidly increasing demand, owing to the
trinwfli in nnmi1ii4iiMi 41i nininnl ii-wl mil mil il tiiMilim III
j,iMi 1,11 m ji'iuiil lull) mv iiiiiiiiiii nniuiuuii v.i. tt.ii.i ...
the United States actually decreased more than 1118,000,
000 bushels between ISflO and 1908, during which period
our population was increased by fully 12.000,000.
For example, take 190S, with 12,000,000 more persons
to feed and 138,000,000 bushels less of apples to feed them.
We aro brought at once to the tremendous importance of
this economic fact, and also to the fallacy of the statement
that fruit growing is being overdone.
This decrease is largelv due to the fact that so nianv
of the old orchards in the east have been badly infected
with fruit pests, and, in addition, have been dying out.
Thousands upon thousands of acres are annuallv aban
doned to the ravages of the woolly aphis, the codlin moth
and the San Jose senile, as well as the inroads made an
nually by damaging frosts.
The following statistics covering tho viold of fruit in
the country point to an important lessen:

One frequently hears the question of over production
mentioned when the planting of an orchard is under con
sideration. The foregoing statistics show some salient
facts worth remembering. Besides, there are many more
people eating fruit todaj' than there were a decade ago,
and there is less fruit to be eaten.
Farmers in the states of the middle west were setting
orchards 20 years ago with as much zeal as the growors
in the northwest are planting today. The history of the
orchards planted in the' middle west shows that in a few
yeare after coming into bearing insect pests and plant dis
eases eliminated many of these orchards, and thousands
of acres of apple orchards were removed by the axe. Tt
might also be stated that trees were planted in a whole
sale way on most airy kind of land, whether it possessed
the qualities of good apple land or not. So, today, through
the old rule of the "survival of the fittest" a small pro
portion of the orchards of 20 veal's' ago in these districts
is producing profitable crops.
Mairy will ask: "What about the future of the hun
dreds of acres of fruit land that are being planted yearly
in the favored fruit districts of the northwest?" The
reply is: The same forces that have worked formerly to
reduce the orchards of the central west through the work
of non-progressive orchardists and unprofitable orchards
is certain to work in the future as in the past. But if the
fruit grower has good orchard land and is willing to give
his orchard the care that it demands, he cannot fail. More
over, he must succeed.
The demand for first-class fruit is growing, and in the
years to follow this demand will bring as good, if not
higher market prices than today. Plant more fruit trees
on good orchard land and stay by the proposition.
