from unmerchantable seedlings. Some 

 years ago, after visiting the principal 

 orchard regions of the west, I predicted 

 just what has happened. 



"The remedy is self -operating; it is 

 a survival of the fittest. 



"Strange as it may appear in the 

 carrying of coals to Newcastle, we find 

 that the far western nurserymen are 

 offering and selling east, at rather low 

 prices, two-year apple because they are 

 overstocked. Western planters will 

 plant but few two-year apples — there 

 they plant practically of one-year trees. 

 Thus market conditions shift and 

 change. Orchard emigration will do 

 the same thing. 



"This same condition will prove true 

 east of the Eocky mountains, because 

 of overproduction and underconsump- 

 tion; a lack of up-to-date publicity 

 methods, and the producing of millions 

 of apple trees by farmer-nurserymen 

 without marketing experience, or an 

 established trade. Thus nurserymen 

 kill the goose that would lay them 

 golden eggs. 



* ' How long will it be before produc- 

 tion and consumption are conducted 

 along safe, sane and reasonable lines? 



"Again, the survival of the fittest. 



"The high prices of western orchard 

 lands are turning away buyers of mod- 

 erate means. These are heading east- 

 ward where there is yet much virgin 

 land at almost their own price, where 

 great fruit-growing possibilities exist, 

 and where the country's greatest mar- 

 kets lie at their very doors. Therefore, 

 even greater attention should be given 

 to publicity development in New Eng- 

 land, the Appalachian region, and the 

 shores of Lake Erie and Michigan — 

 land of wondrous and untold possibili- 

 ties. Nowhere are there cheaper lands 

 or more equable orchard climates; 

 nowhere are the martcets so conve- 

 iiiently and economically reached. The 

 Michigan sweet cherries yield more 

 generous profit than those from the 

 i*aciflc coast. 



"J. H. HsUe has demonstrated the 

 marvelous possibilities of New Eng- 

 land peach growing. He is the father 

 '^f the great peach industry of Georgia, 

 and now he is destined to become an 

 i*PPle king. J. H. Hale, as you know, 

 IS the only man who ever declined a
