at the present rate it won't be
long before boys in the rural com
munities will be doing the same

becoming rarity, largely due TO
the fact that people want quick re
turns Oh their investments, a thing
that apple culture does not offer.
If we plant an apple tree, we must
wait several years to realize on the
investment. But figures show that
the investor is paid handsome
profits for many years after trees
come into bearing. Another thing
that has cut the American apple
crop is the spirit Of Indifference
