Leading Apple Regions of the United States 75 



siderable fertile land implanted to trees offers oppor- 

 tunity for diversification. 



Boise Valley. 



Much the same conditions obtain in the Boise Valley 

 as in the Payette district, these two sections being only 

 a few miles apart and having been developed under much 

 the same conditions. Plantings in the Boise Valley are 

 much more limited than in the Payette district. 



Twin Falls. 



In the extreme southern part of Idaho and in the vicin- 

 ity of Twin Falls is an irrigated region which has intensive 

 apple plantings, amounting to 4,000 or 5,000 acres, most 

 of which have not attained full bearing and considerable 

 of which have been taken out to provide for more general 

 farming. The production in 1919 reached approximately 

 500 cars and the output of the region may be expected 

 to increase. Varieties and general orchard conditions 

 are much the same as in the Payette district. 



Lewiston section. 



Kear Lewiston in Xez Perce County, an irrigated pro- 

 ject of 6,000 acres was planted largely in the period 1906 

 to 1910. This was developed by a single company and 

 was sold out in small tracts to investors who in some 

 instances have taken up their residence and are develop- 

 ing the subdivisions. Very few orchards have reached 

 full bearing, and although they were planted and have 

 been cared for on a strictly commercial basis, the future 

 of the region can not be definitely determined at this time.
