Notwithstanding the fact that the
past season has been poor apple year
many orchards over the state have
borne very profitable crops. Near
Florence, Marion county the orchard
of A. n Allison & Sons has made the
following record: Forty-eight trees
set in 1870 bore 270 bushels of market
able apples besides those used by
family of seven persons. The fruit
was sold at prices ranging near one
dollar per bushel. This represents
profit that no one need complain Of
and it may will cause surprise on the
part of those who think there is no
profit in the fruit business in Kansas.
L WI pun III bliG CdSC are W De to-
pecially noted. One is that the orchard
has been set twenty eight years, which
is longer than most Kansas orchards
are expected to live The other is that
it has good filth. Neither cultivation
nor prouing has been neglected. There
can be no question but that to the
good filth which the orchard has re-
ceived is to be attributed, in part, the
long life of the trees and their present
productiveness, The success of this
ought to stimulate farmers to
adopt the methods of culture that have
been employed in it. Good culture '
can be depended upon to influence an '
orchard toward productiveness and t
long life. t
