WHAT APPLE LAND
WILL PAY YOU
ACTUAL PROFITS OF GROWERS
Nat Based tin the Best, lint on (he
Average Figure From Au
thentic Sources.
We are often aksed foi ligures con
cerning the tipple business, hy strang
ers mid others, who want to know just
what apple land will pay. We are
able to give some figures, through the
courtesy of the Apple Growers Union,
that an authentic and based on actual
productions for a few years past.
I ho average production per acre, for
thu three years previous to the past
season, shows that llgunng on the
average number of trees per acre a
tin, mid the number of boxes per liee
as six, (which figures have uot lien
taken from cue grower or two, but the
general producer), and we have lilHJ
boxes of apples per acre,
It is found that thu average price,
including apples of all varieties, is
:' l.ni i per box. ! ducting tho cost of
raising, which ii .r,o ci ids, we obtain
the price ot Si per box, which gives
the actual net piolit of tf.lW per acre.
'ibis y ur the c op was a light cue
mil tho trees averaged only 1 boxes to
the tree, giving CO boxes ur t'M to
the acre. Where Newtowns and Spitz
'nbergs were grow u entirely, the price
reached tfi a box, bringing the net
prollt per acre to over S.'iUO.
A comparison with some of the lln
st tipple growing districts in Colo
rado, shows that the average price
received there was tl pe' box, which
rice was figured ou a basis of their
nest varieties. Deducting the cost of
trowing ns tiO cents per box, it can bo
seen what the diitereiico la iu prollt.
in thu average price of Hood Iiiver
i p pies, all the five tier fruit and sec
mils wore included uud the cheaper
.arieties. As most of tho new or
chards, that are coming into bearing,
ill bo largely Newtowns and Kpitzeu
okrgs, it seems almost a foregone oon
.iluston that the average price In fu
uiro will be higher than lias been in
the past.
Hud only the best varieties Leen
used as a basis of calculation, tho
pi ice would have soared almost out of

from the fact that It Is id most next
