TALK TO FARMERS
FRUIT GROWERS PROSPECT.
By. T. F. Peck.

The following article has been con-
tributed to this column by N. d. Pea
cock, Field agent of the State Horti-
culture Society:
"When ! was boy we never had to
spray our orchards. The ground was
just covered with fine fruit every fall,
and we never did anything to the
trees" How often have you had that
expression when the subject of spray
ing, pruning or cultivation was rails
ed? The number, size and perfection
of the apples in the orchards of our
fathers may be considerably magni-
fled in our memory, but it is fact
that many of our most serious orchard
pests have been recently introduced.
When San Jose scale first spread
over the country many said the entire
fruit industry was doomed to destruc-
ton. The prophesy would doubtless
have been fulfilled if every one had
agreed with them, but it has been the
indomitable will of those who loved
the work and believe in it that has
been the basis of the phenomenal
growth of the fruit industry in this
country. Steadily, year after year,
as the depredations of insects became
more serious, these men who had
perseverance and vision developed
new methods of controlling the pests.
Spray machinery was improved, spray
materials were prepared, and times
for applying the sprays were studied,
until now the San Jose scale and other
insects which once threatened de-
struction are no longer feared by the
scientific orchardist.
This development was gaining
ground and interest in fruit growing
was increasing when the war came
and economic conditions were sud
denly upset. The price of fruit climb
ed and labor became scarce and cost
ly. All materials scared and did not
stop when the price of fruit fell. There
followed a spirit of unrest among the
growers.
When the 1920 fruit crop was har-
vested the break had not yet come,
and the short crop of this year help
ed to hold prices, or rather made the
descent in prices less abrupt. But
readjustments must gradually come
and the fruit growers, as well as all
others must reorganize to meet new
conditions.
What may me expect in the future ?
When conditions are about normal
and the law of supply and demand is
properly functioning, there is the pos
sibility of over-production to be con-
sidered. Between 1910 and 1920 the
number of bearing apple trees in the
United States was reduced 1913 per
cent, peach trees reduced 30.5 per
cent, and the acreage of Strawberries
1876 per cent. There has been a de-
crease in trees under bearing age Of
1853 per cent, and at the same time
the population has increased 1874 per
cent. At present, therefore, the de-
mand will surely exceed the supply if
there is proper distribution. The long
list of orchard enemies, the large in
vestment and the long wait before re-
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1921-11-25

turns will tend to prevent excessive
planting. Fruit growing is a special
lied industry, and it takes foresight
edness, persistence and diligence to
succeed.
In Tennessee conditions are promis-
ing. Geographically we have a Won
derful advantage, markets both north
and South are open to us with COM
paratively short shipping distance.
We are located near the centre Of the
most important markets of the coun-
try. With st. Louis, Atlanta, Cincin-
natti and Birmingham at our very
door, and with Kansas City, Chicago,
New York and New Orleans within
easy reach, we find market as easily
as any section in the United States. If
we can make as much profit on our
apples as the growers in Oregon pay
