 a good return. 



The following very suggestive report is had from a New 

 Heanpshire grower. 



From 1902 to 1908 his trees were neglected with the 

 following results. 

 Year No. bbls. Receipts. 



1902 408 f.750 



1903 305 737 



1904 299 408 



1905 186 400 



1906 172 257 



1907 245 551 



1908 102 300 



In 1908 he began to look after his trees again in a 

 scientific laanner with the following gratifying results. 

 Year IIo. bbls. Receipts. 



1909 473 $1,000 



1910 475 1625 



1911 508 1487 



Most of these were exported to Liverpool. The figures 

 quoted are net profits^ not gross receipts. 



Even the most pessimistic will have to acknov/ledge that 

 there is money to be had if the old orchard is renovated 

 properly, in the light of the foregoing array of facts. Men 

 in New York State owning old orchards should profit by the 

 experience of those outside the state and put into their 

 pocket books what is now droping on the £round or going to 

 the codling moth. If they don't want to do it themselves 

 let them sell their places to men who are anxious to, and 

 t 'dog in the manger".
