Nebraska Farmers Just Finding Out
that They Have Chance to
Make Cash.
DUNCAN GIVES SOME EXAMPLES
(From a Staff Correspondent

(From Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Oct. 1s.-tSpecial. THE
1915 Nebraska apple crop was equal to
the combined crops of Utah and Idaho,
as great as that of Utah and Colorado
combined, and greater than Colorado
and New Mexico together said Secre-
tary j. r. Duncan of the State Horti.
cultural society, taking official cognizance
of the first apple day in Nebraska.
Nebraska is sixteenth in apple pro-
duction in the United States, being sur
passed by only the older apple states, in
GLIDING New York, Michigan, Missouri.
Iowa, Illinois and other eastern states.
The major part of the Nebraska crop
Is raised in Richardson, Nemaha. Otoe,
johnson, Pawnee and Cass counties. The
present acreage at the best is capable
of producing 20,O00000 of bushels. The
1915 crop of apples IL distributed among
the people of the state, would furnish
each man, woman and child forty apples.
Apple orchards average forty trees
per acre. A well-cared-for tree will
average from five to ten bushels per
tree during a ten-year period"
Indicative of the gold mine Nebraska
farmers have in well-cared-for orchards.
Mr.. Duncan cited these facts:
"A Winesap orchard in Otoe county
containing 24o trees. 16 years old, produced
eighteen bushels per tree. selling for an
average of 30 cents per bushel. The
total return for the crop was $216O.
"A small orchard near Omaha, of which
sixteen acres is 16 years old and two
acres years old, produced in 1914 $500
bushels OF apples, which Melted the
owner 1900. or net income of q per
cent on 5000 per acre valuation.
"A Observation-Disclosures orchard Is years
old, eleven miles, from Falls City pro-
duced over $500. net, from the 1914 crop
of apples. 1t had only been cared for
q year.
"A Winesap tree near Shubert produced
six barrels of No. apples and six barrels
of No 2 fruit. which brought a gross
return of $N for the tree. The orchard
is planted forty trees to the acre.
THE United States census shows 1885,
Us trees in this state bearing fruit. The
1915 crop is estimated at 100000 bushels,
which is three times as large as the 1914
crop and half OF the 1911 crop"
