Sizemore's Facts Substantiated. 



Mr. Si/.emore was ai-c()m|iaiiied liy r)r. 

 Gould, ](oiiioloj>ical expert in the l)e 

 jiartment of Aitiiculture, who gave the 

 coniniissioii, in ;i few wiirds, a Idrd's- 

 eye view of the nursery iiulustry as re- 

 lated to the fruit grower and farmer. 



'•While tliere were several hundred 

 million fruit trees in the I'nited States 

 at the time of the last census," said 

 Dr. (rould, ''this nunilier was many mil- 

 lions Ixdow that of the preceding een- 

 .sus, due in jiart to the dying off of home 

 orchards for lack of care during the 

 war and in ]iart to the fact that many 

 who entered the fruit industry during 

 that jieriod were not siifliciently skilled 

 l)ro])erly to jdant and care for their 

 trees. ' ' 



The size of the industry c.in he visu- 

 alized from the fact that about 5,000.- 

 000 acres of land are di'voted to fruit 

 growing, and the fruit crop of the coiin- 

 trv is worth between !(;400,( 100,000 and 

 .'(i;")'00,000,00(i a year. Between 400,000 

 and ,'500,000 freight cars are required 

 to move the cro]> to market, showing 

 how important a jiart fruit ])lays in the 

 transportation industry. The restric- 

 tion of this movement by high freight 

 rates, it was pointed (uit, was directly 

 cutting the revenue of the carriers. 



"To maintain and ex'i)and this in 

 dustry, the nurseryman is ;in indispen- 

 sable" factor, ' ' said Dr. Could. "What- 

 ever concerns the nursery industry con- 

 cerns the fruit industry; this is shown 

 bv the decrease in the number of trees.''
