Money in Missouri Orchards

secretary L. A. Goodman. of tba missouri State Horticultural Society speaks as follows regarding apple growing:
 me Missouri apple sells in Ger many ahead of any other. I shipned tew weeks ago from Kansas City di. rect to Hambu carload of Missouri apples. They sold at SC. 50 a barrel. it cost me S1.50 barrel for trapsnor. tation' The Ben Davis sold S1 hiober on the barrel than any other variety. The apples which almost caused an in ternational complication between the United States and Germany were from mlssourl orchards. Germany at first refused to permit them to be unloaded fearing they had fruit pests or insects The funny thing about this obiectlon Is that all our fruit pests and insects were originally imported from Europe. IT any were refused it would simply De refusing the return compliment.
 'Ihere is no crop that will pay the farmers of Missouri better than apples. An apple orchard costs at the time if begins to bear from $20 to S35 an acre. rms includes costs of trees, planting and care, but not the cost of the land. One good crop of apples will pay all of this. An apple orchard will pay profit ably from it's seventh or eighth year until it is 20 or 25 years old. There will be good apple crop three years out of five. We have averaged more than thls the last fifteen years. Of course, wheat and corn will yield a crop the year they are planted, while fruit will not for several years. But, even counting this, and taking twen- ty year period, including the seven or eight years when the fruit trees do not bear, yet the fruit crop will be worth at least four times as much as any other crop from the farm.
 Hast year a Johnson county orchard grower received $50, GOO for the fruit on his 300 acres A Howell county or. chard grower was paid 800 an acre for the fruit from land which originally cost him from S5 to SS an acre."

Good Land for Fruit.

While at Jansen July 4th repre- sentative of this paper had the pleas ure of being entertained by Mir. and Mrs. J. B. Hickman and viewing their fine start for fruit farm On por- tion of Mir. IIickman's land was an old field that had been in cultivation for twenty-five years and supposed to be worn out He plowed this field deep, tarning up new soil; narrowed it thor oughly and then planted bis apple trees and straw berries. I ihuse iIuyr all made fine growth, as nice as could be expected upon any land. The ap- pie trees now show m average growth of two feet for each limb, and the strawberries have thrown out runners, covering the rows with plants enough to give full crop next season.
 Mir. Hickman's experiments will prove that the old farm lands, some of them supposed to be worn out and al- most worthless, are good for fruit. and with proper cultivation will be made to yield profitable crops.
