APeu nsylvania man desires informa.
tion regarding the average yield of
orchards in this country. Full bearing
orchards should yield carload OF about
$50 boxes Of apples and 100 boxes Of
peaches to the aero. When apple trees
are young-up to twelve or fourteen
yeas old-they bear a. 4 rule good
crops every year but whom they get
older they seem to yield an enormous
crop every other year. taking = rest the
OF year - is usually the case with an-
irrigated orchards. Peaches on the
other hand appear to bear we'll every
year. In 1893 = Delta county man
named Mathews bought the fruit. ready
for shipment, from 500 Elberta peach
trees for el.85l. In 1899 he purchased
the crop for e2.7A7 and in 1900 for O., ,46s.
Peach trees arc long lived under irriga-
ton. We know sturdy trees in Mesa
county nineteen ysars old which arc
bearing every year.
While In Chicago recently We observed
that Colorado apples ssll there at q

portion oe the country. Michigan. New
York and lllinois apples are quoted at
from e160 to o1.65 barrel. Missouri
Jonathsns we're quoted from el.5o to
ea.25 boz. which would be from ~ SC
to e6.76 barrel. Other varieties oi
Colorado apples are quoted at from
eightg-fivs cents to sl.l5 = box or trou,
2.5S to o9A5 q barrel. These figures
show that the claims relative to the
merits Of Colorado apples are well
founded and also prove Why eastern
