About Apples.

People are learning to eat apples the
world over, and the facilities OF the
present and the future will enable
those who have such things to sell
to reach the consumer at small cost.
People are constantly increasing the
amount OF fruit consumed, and the lux
ury Of the present will become the ne
cessity of the future; and. as the area
OF really proper climate and soils for
apple growing is limited. it affords a
rare chance for those who live in this
favored climate for the production OF
something that the whole world wants,
so the inducement that orcharding
holds out is certainty of a market and
the assurance of fair to good returns
for the investment. When We look
about us, and especially when we see the
condition and future prospects for agri-
culture. We must regard the future with
somewhat of apprehension. for there is
cverproduction, or. what is worse, I'M
derconsumption, with NJ immediate
prospect Of Improvement. for if We
raise wheat, so does South America.
Russia, Australia and India, each COM
peting for the worlds markets, and the
result must be that We must raise
cheaper wheat or be beaten in the con-
test, and that is true OF many other
crops. and to a certain extent Of the
stock interests as well. Those of US
who have had experience with sheep.
for instance, do not care to talk about
the stock interests; and those who have
been raising horses are but little better
on: while those who have been turn
ing their attention to cattle and hogs
are constantly competing in an over
stocked market: and others driven out
g sheep industry are crowding into
