less independent. In no case, however, 

 is he going to pay a price so high that 

 Ms investment will become too large for 

 him to hope to make a reasonable in- 

 come. I do not mean seven or eight per 

 cent, for that is not enough margin for 

 either the orchardist or the nurseryman, 

 both of whom take long chances and are 

 entitled to a margin of profit commen- 

 surate with the risk. I think that most 

 of us nurserymen would prefer to invest 

 our money in Liberty bonds, if we had 

 any to invest, rather than try to grow 

 nursery stock on a margin of seven or 

 eight per cent, for, notwithstanding the 

 fact that many times we do not realize 

 that much, yet we have visions of a 

 much greater margin. 



The Future of the H. C. of K 



~ Fortunately, at the present time prices 

 of nearly all fruits are such that the 

 grower feels safe in paying a good, stiff 

 price for his trees, but what of the fu- 

 ture? How long is the h. c. of 1. going 

 to continue? If we knew, we should all 

 be either planting all of the stock that 

 we could get in or else getting out from 

 under as fast as possible. 



Figuring from a strictly cost basis, it 

 looks as if prices would continue to soar, 

 but there must be a limit. Sooner or 

 later, as in climbing a lofty mountain 

 peak, we must reach the top and begin 

 to descend. There will be no stopping 

 at the summit; we must either go up 

 or go down. The descent will begin 

 when some vital product, or commodity, 

 exceeds the demand. Labor may be that 

 commodity, if it continues to exact 

 higher pay and shorter hours until there 

 is no profit left for the employer. 



Prosperity's Purchasing Power. 



Anything that tends to affect the pur- 

 chasing power of a large number of our 

 people and forces them to live on small- 

 er incomes will cut down the demand 

 for many of the things that people now 

 think they must have and lower the de-
