chards, however, the growers try not 

 to raise any "second" apples. By look- 

 ing at the land values very closely, it 

 is the general opinion that these same 

 values which some people consider high 

 at the present time, will increase each 

 year. The demand for apples is grow- 

 ing, and especially so for the first-class 

 No. I apple. Land that will grow this 

 hardy apple is limited, so the orchards 

 now bearing are conceded to be good 

 investments. A greater part of the best 

 apple orchards in the West are now 

 productive orchards. However, the esti- 



mated increased production for the next 

 four or five years will be about twenty 

 per cent, per year. The demand in the 

 last five years for first-class apples has 

 increased thirty-five per cent, per year, 

 so in comparing these two items it is 

 certain that the demand will continue to 

 increase over and above the supply. 

 There is hardly a person that owns over 

 twenty acres of orchard land, and very 

 many tracts are divided into ten and 

 five acre allotments, which clearly goes 

 to show the great value of even a five- 

 acre tract of this desirable fruit land
