The Rorists^ Review 



Jdnd 10, 1920. 



in other countries. In three or four 

 years it is to be hoped we shall be back 

 to normal in America, but it will takt 

 them much longer than this in France. 

 The French people love their fruit 

 trees and orchards almost as their chil- 

 dren and that is why there was much 

 indignation and horror when the enemy 

 deliberately destroyed all the fruit 

 trees as they retreated. The French 

 government post office issues calendars 

 each year. On these calendars they 

 have two or three pictures. On last 

 year's set one of the pictures showed a 

 French orchard with all the trees cut 

 and fallen on the ground, with the bare 

 stumps glistening in the sunlight; with 

 it was a statement showing the French 

 hatred for an enemy who kills harmless, 

 helpless fruit trees. I saw this calendar 

 displayed prominently in nearly all the 

 homes and shops throughout France. I 

 mention this merely to show how close 

 the heart of the Frenchman is tied up 

 in his fruit trees. 



America's Growing Intarect 



Since the war America has realized 

 the great value of her orchards and the 

 great necessity of maintaining them. 

 She knows the tremendous food values 

 and health-giving qualities of her fruit 

 products. The war accentuated more 

 than ever before in the minds of the 

 people in general not only the value but 

 the absolute necessity of plenty of good 

 ' ripe or well canned fruit for the proper 

 development of children and the main- 

 tenance of health. 



The tremendously increased interest 

 in orchard planting and fruit growing 

 in general is the result. The central 

 west, especially, is realizing the enor- 

 mous profits to be made from well eared 

 for orchards of the best modern varie- 

 ties of fruit, and more and more of the 

 far-seeing orchardists are planting 

 high quality varieties and varieties re- 

 sistant to disease and eliminating such 

 weakling trees as Ben Davis. In one 

 of our leading central western states 

 the state horticultural authorities have 

 reported that in the last ten years there 

 has been a loss of fifty per cent in bear- 

 ing orchards. 



French Em,phasls on Quality. 



There is one thing that stands out 

 when one investigates the French fruit 

 industry and that is that the Frenchman 

 appreciates good quality in fruits. In'' 

 America our buyers in the past have 

 paid too much attention to appearance 

 and too little to what was under the 

 ■kin. In France the popular varieties 

 are all high quality varieties. They 

 will not grow or use poor quality ap-
