Bushels Apples
Gr01U11 IN Montana YEARLY

The magnitude of Montana's cereal
production i'll recent years has tended
to obscure the fact that this is also a
horticultural state with more than
10000 acres planted tu fruits. Yet
the growing industry of the
state was just so years old when
Montana S exhibit Of apples at the
Panama-Pacitic exposition at San
Francisco won the grand prize.
When the first settlers came to
Montana they found strawberries and
raspberlies growing wild in the gorges
and even on the tops of high noun
tains and variety of berries was
early cultivated, but the first at
tempts at growing the larger fruits
were made in Missoula county in
1863 In that year about so apple
trees were brought from Oregon and
transplanted in the Bitter Root val
ley The next year about 10000 more
apple trees and a few plum trees
were brought from the Pacific north
west and sold at one dollar each.
This experiment turned out to be
costly for only about 10 per cent sur
vived the cold. Kept growing by IT,
yigation in the lower lands until late
tn the fall, they We're full Of sap
when the loaves fell and were "win-
ter-killed. More success was obtain
ed with trees planted on the bench
lands where the wood thoroughly rip
ems and in 1876 about 5000 apple,
peach. plum, ounce, cherry and other
fruit trees were growing and begin
ning to produce.
Recent years have seen a remark
able advancement in fruit growing in
the state, both in the quantity and
quality of production and in the num-
Der of varieties cultivated. Each year
hundreds Of acres are added to the
orchard area.

will prevail, and the Great Falls Y.

to care for the delegates.
Speakers will come from the in
transitional committee headquarters
at New York and Chicago; also some
of the prominent workers in Montana.
The convention will transact business
and elect state committeeman in adj
dition to adopting a policy for the
year to come.
One feature will be the introduction
of another state worker to be assoc
ciated with the present state secretary,
Charles Puehler. The new position
will be one relative to the work of
boys and students and upon the sue
cess of the effort now being made to
raise budget, p. l.. Corbin of Louis
