Apple Supply Decreasing.

There has been much talk of over
production in the fruit market, particu-
larly for apples, but according to
statistics gathered by the department
of agriculture, the apple crop has been
less than 10000. 900 barrels each of the
past three years, or less than half the
crop for each of the years 1856 and
this year the country will still have
less apples than it did last year. To
fget back to the bumper crop of SO, 600
600 barrels in 1896 would require an a
additional acreage covered by about
10, 600, 600 trees.
1t is the history of tree planting that
less than half the trees taken from
the nurseries are properly cared for ur.
til of bearing age, and 1t will, there
fore, require the propagation OF at
least 80, 100000 trees, including those
planted the past few years, now under
good care, to get good normal crop.
When Jack Frost continues to play
havoc with the orchards of the central
states, as has been the case the last
three years, Il will take another S0,-
000,0 900 trees planted on the Pacific
coast to make Up for that source of
loss. To this we may add for the in
crease of population, and for the
greater consumption per capita when
apples are delivered to con sumers at
prices at which the apple is not classed
as luxury. There appears to be no
occasion for any fear of over-produc
tion. On the other hand, co mmercial
apple growers apparently have yet
much orcharding to do to prevent the
great consuming masses from going
apple hungry. On the Pacific coast is
the place where great preparations are
being made to supply our great mar
kets with regular annual crop of
apples.
