Successful Fruit Growers.


If there Is anything that modern
agriculture teaches it is that more
skill, knowledge and experience are re-
quired In successful fruit growing than
almost any other branch Of farming
There are more failures with fruit
farms than any other. There is conse-
quently heard the cry I'm nearly every
State that there Is no money In fruits
and farmers are turning their atten.
ton 10 other lines Of farm work. Yet
in spite Of this the last census shows
some interesting figures, which goes
to prove that fruit growing when prop
erly conducted Is the most profitable
OF farm specialties. Compared with
other farm products the best fruit
farms Of specially favored locations
yielded twenty-five per cent. on the
capital employed. against nineteen per
cent in general farming and seventeen
per cent. on grain and hay. Only the
nursery business and flower and plant
growing exceed fruit raising, and these
latter were possible only where the soil
and climate were very favorable
The claim that fruit growing success
fully requires experts Is absolutely
true Almost any one can raise pigs:
poultry and general crops and can
make a moderate living. But few can
produce fine fruits A great many
start in with the idea that they can.
and then after failing as a result Of
their ignorance they condemn the
