AN APPLE ORCHARD SURVEY OF ORLEANS 

 COUNTY, NEW YORK. 



BY G. F. WARREN. 



General statement and acknowledgments. This Bulletin is a supplement 

 to Bulletin 226, " The Apple Orchard Survey of Wayne County," which 

 discussed apple-grow- 

 ing in both counties, 

 the conclusions in it 

 being based on obser- 

 vations made in both 

 counties and on the 

 statistics gathered from 

 Wayne county. In 

 this Bulletin the tables 

 from Orleans county 

 are presented, but the 

 discussions are not re- 

 peated except when 

 new or contradictory 

 conclusions are shown. 

 It is therefore expected 

 that the reader of this 

 Bulletin will have at 

 hand Bulletin 226. 



Nearly half of the 

 field work was done 

 by Mr. Christian Biies, 

 who not only assisted 

 in the investigation 

 but gave many valu- 

 able suggestions on the 

 methods of work. 



I wish to thank the five hundred or more farmers who so willingly 

 placed at our disposal the statistics about their orchards and told us of 

 their successes and failures. I might mention in particular the help given 



FIG. 158. Tzventy-ounce. A profitable apple zvhere 

 the tree is well cared for.
