Grow Good Apples This Year 



All signs point to an unusually active demand for good apples this 

 fall. Costs are high but this would seem to be the wrong year to slight im- 

 portant orchard operations. There will be too many culls anyway, no matter 

 what the market situation is. 



Apples fill an i-portant and vrell recognized place in the national 

 diet, and there is no substitute for them. All the good apples we can girow 

 will be needed next winter. Forget the rock-bottom prices of the depression 

 years; we are living in a different vrorld now. The average citizen will have 

 more money to spend for apples this year than he ever has had before in the 

 history of the industry. This does not mean ths hi3hest prices you have Icnown 

 but at least it should offset the present high cost of production.
