In duration as the period of retrogres-
sion had been. the wild fruit once
again became the apple of civilization

Crop Falls Short.
Mr. Rice shows in his compilation
of data, bearing on the growing OF
commercial apples, that the industry
has not kept pace with the Increase
in population in the United States and
Canada. from the fact that the entire
crop this year. estimated at 5000 900
barrels, Is many barrels less than the
production in 1896, when growers IN
the United States harvested 67.o7o. 900.
Twenty-seven million barrels OF ap-
pies were harvested in the United
States last year.
The explanation OF this condition
the New England. eastern and middle
western states. where apple orchards,
never regarded as serious features OF
the farms have fallen easy prey to neg
lect and resultant pests In many in
stances the trees have been fslied to
supply manufacturers with materials.
while in other localities entire orch
ards have been chopped out to afford
room for more profitable crops.
AS there is no substitute for the
apple this would mean nothing less
than a famine were IL not for the
orchards in the west. where an i'm
mense territory has been dedicated to
fruit production. and with the mill
lions of trees annually will make this
the orchard country of the world
THE lands already planted in Wash
ington, Idaho. Oregon. Montana and
the province OF British Columbia
should produce a crop OF apples in
1915 equal to the production of the
United States in 1896" said Mr. Rice
in discussing the outlook. "and at that
there will never be overproduction.
From that time on with orchards in
other western and southwestern
states. including California. Colorado,
Texas. Nevada. Utah. Arizona. New
Mexico, Wyoming and the Dakotas.
there should be a definite increase
every season. until the apple becomes
the every day fruit and food of the
people. instead of a luxury, as 1t ap-
pears to be today in view of the un-
and high prices.
THE question of how the demands
OF the apple for fruit can be met
will have a prominent place at the
informal discussion In Spokane next

subject for inquiry and that It ranks

sented recently regarding our forests
