that it is an object lesson fer mics
1onnd In the latter case the trees
were set out in 1890, twenty-one years
ago, and it was sixteen ear after that
before they began to give crops COM
merciaily profitable. One can plant
and have room &c spare. This is what
that girl did with her trees. In 1908
her profits were S1.612; in 1907, 1862;
in 1908. $i,221; IN 1919. $3,24S, and
in 1910 size had gross receipts Of over
$4,000, yielding her a net profit of
$3,862. Moreover her trees have be-
gun to show what they will do and
there is no reason Why her crop
should not be greatly increased as the
years go on.
Will the Apple Marke, Be Glutted.
Stories similar to these are known
to all who have any acquaintance
with the apple regions OF the United
States. They are founded on present
conditions and are the cause of the
enormous extent to which, new orch
ards are being planted all owe the
country. Many of the government
clerks at Washington are investing in
orchard schemes. Some Of the fruit
experts of the Agricultural Depart
ment have their independent orch
ards, and not a few of Uncle Sans
employees have gone into the business
and are making good.
At the same time apple lands are
being exploited as orange lands were
some years ago and sy~1dicateS are
formed to manas chard at a fixed
price per acre or tree. The planting
is very extensive and this is especially
so in the Pacific northwest and in
Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
1t is true also of the other apple re
gions, although to a minor extent.
Last year, l am told. the shipments
of apples from the Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho regions amounted to
ten thousand carloads. and moreover,
when the trees that are now being
planted come into bearing, say ter
years from now, there will be from
that region more than one hundred
thousand car loads. The most of these
shipments go in boxes. but ] venture a
carload Of barrels would contain
about the same number of apples. At
200 barrels to the car, which is an
average shipment in the east have
myself shipped 500 barrels in one car
this one hundred thousand car
loads would equal twenty million bar
rels of apples. This is the potential
d ten years from now of the
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1911-06-13

that county alone shipped about q
million bushels of apples. The apple
lands are far cheaper than those OF
the West, selling for from SIS to $500
per acre, the latter price being usual
ly for land on which trees have been
planted.
h same might be said of an cx-
tensive region Of apple country in the
mountains Of West Virginia, where
large orchards ave been set out and
from where annual shipments of many
carloads are made. There are big
orchards in western Maryland and in
southern Pennsylvania, regions in
which thousands of trees are now be-
ing planted.
Money in Southern Orchards.
The profits of the Southern orchards
are so far nothing like those of the
far West, but the scientific fruit men
tell me that the lands in many of the
eastern sections are just a. suited to
apples and that proper cultivation,
spraying, packing and marketing
should make them pay quite as we'll.
Many of the Western fruit growers
realize this, and I know personally q
number Of orchardists who have sold
out their lands in Washington and
Idaho and are now buying Southern
lands and setting them out. One such
man recently bought over zoo acres
right on the railroad within a half
mile or so of the fine old town of
Leesburg. He paid something like
$50 or $50 and acre, and he expects
to raise as good apples within about
forty miles of the National Capital as
can be raised in Colorado or Wash
1ngton. That man bought apple lands
in Oregon for $500 an acre and sold
them for 500. Another young fellow
of the Leesburg neighborhood has
bought $50 acres upon which he is
starting with an orchard of 5000 trees,
one-half Of the profits Of which he ex-
poets to give to foreign missions.

Pacific the crop OF that re-

as soon as the melon is ripe, bites of
the stem and proceeds to dig away
the sand under the melon, SO that 1t
gradually sinks below the level Of the
ground. The constant wind soon Gov
ers it with six to eight inches of sand,
which protects it from the scorching
sun and from drying up. When all
other moisture has evaporated the jer-
boa goes to his larder and drinks the
Juice of the melon till the rains come

military dictionary had to define it as

back at least to the fifteenth century,
