  FORWARD 
  IN 
  1937 
  

  

  It 
  would 
  seem 
  from 
  all 
  indications 
  that 
  we 
  are 
  on 
  the 
  threshold 
  of 
  another 
  area 
  of 
  great 
  prosperity 
  in 
  this 
  

   Country 
  of 
  ours. 
  The 
  rugged 
  progressiveness 
  and 
  individual 
  initiative 
  of 
  our 
  American 
  people 
  can 
  only 
  be 
  held 
  

   in 
  leash 
  for 
  a 
  limited 
  time 
  and 
  then 
  the 
  same 
  spirit 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  the 
  means 
  of 
  this 
  United 
  States 
  of 
  Ours 
  ad- 
  

   vancing 
  faster 
  since 
  the 
  signing 
  of 
  the 
  Declaration 
  of 
  Independence 
  in 
  1776 
  than 
  any 
  other 
  Nation 
  of 
  the 
  World 
  

   asserts 
  itself 
  and 
  we 
  go 
  Marching 
  on 
  — 
  on 
  to 
  a 
  new 
  period 
  of 
  prosperity. 
  The 
  past 
  year 
  has 
  been 
  one 
  of 
  prevail- 
  

   ing 
  higher 
  prices 
  on 
  ail 
  classes 
  of 
  Fruits 
  and 
  Asparagus 
  and 
  such 
  items 
  as 
  we 
  specialize 
  in 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  reasonable 
  

   to 
  expect 
  that 
  we 
  can 
  look 
  for 
  a 
  continuation 
  of 
  these 
  prices 
  which 
  means 
  greater 
  profits 
  to 
  the 
  grower. 
  Some 
  

   four 
  years 
  ago 
  we 
  urged 
  that 
  those 
  that 
  could 
  do 
  so 
  should 
  plant 
  liberally 
  and 
  in 
  this 
  way 
  lay 
  the 
  foundation 
  for 
  

   greater 
  income 
  in 
  the 
  future 
  and 
  those 
  that 
  did 
  so 
  are 
  now 
  reaping 
  the 
  benefits. 
  With 
  a 
  return 
  to 
  normal 
  

   purchasing 
  power 
  by 
  the 
  great 
  masses 
  of 
  people 
  the 
  losses 
  sustained 
  in 
  producing 
  age 
  trees 
  from 
  abnormal 
  low 
  

   temperatures 
  in 
  many 
  sections, 
  apparent 
  new 
  diseases 
  in 
  other 
  sections, 
  combined 
  with 
  the 
  natural 
  let 
  down 
  in 
  

   new 
  plantings 
  that 
  always 
  accompanies 
  such 
  periods 
  as 
  we 
  have 
  passed 
  through, 
  is 
  going 
  to 
  be 
  keenly 
  felt 
  in 
  the 
  

   supply 
  of 
  these 
  types 
  of 
  fruits. 
  The 
  United 
  States 
  Census 
  of 
  Agriculture 
  in 
  its 
  five 
  year 
  report 
  recently 
  issued 
  

   reveals 
  the 
  startling 
  fact 
  that 
  America 
  needs 
  THIRTY 
  MILLION 
  FRUIT 
  TREES. 
  This 
  census 
  is 
  based 
  on 
  a 
  

   comparison 
  of 
  1930 
  figures 
  against 
  those 
  of 
  1935. 
  It 
  shows 
  there 
  has 
  been 
  a 
  net 
  loss 
  in 
  non-bearing 
  and 
  bearing 
  

   apple 
  trees 
  of 
  SEVEN 
  MILLION 
  TREES. 
  It 
  shows 
  there 
  has 
  been 
  a 
  net 
  loss 
  in 
  non-bearing 
  and 
  bearing 
  Peach 
  

   Trees 
  of 
  ELEVEN 
  MILLION 
  TREES, 
  with 
  a 
  loss 
  in 
  like 
  proportion 
  on 
  practically 
  all 
  other 
  classes 
  of 
  fruits. 
  

   America 
  claimed 
  at 
  one 
  time 
  to 
  produce 
  more 
  fruit 
  than 
  all 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  World, 
  and 
  with 
  our 
  vast 
  fertile 
  avail- 
  

   able 
  lands 
  for 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  most 
  all 
  classes 
  of 
  fruits 
  we 
  maintained 
  this 
  status 
  for 
  many 
  years 
  and 
  only 
  

   now 
  is 
  this 
  prestige 
  threatened. 
  Under 
  normal 
  conditions 
  America 
  will 
  consume 
  more 
  fruits 
  now 
  than 
  ever 
  be- 
  

   fore 
  in 
  its 
  history. 
  The 
  consuming 
  public 
  is 
  becoming 
  fruit 
  conscious 
  as 
  the 
  natural 
  health 
  giving 
  qualities 
  of 
  the 
  

   various 
  types 
  of 
  fruits 
  is 
  brought 
  more 
  and 
  more 
  to 
  our 
  attention. 
  WILL 
  AMERICA 
  MAINTAIN 
  ITS 
  PRES- 
  

   TIGE 
  IN 
  FRUIT 
  PRODUCTION— 
  WILL 
  THE 
  AMERICAN 
  FRUIT 
  GROWERS 
  BEGIN 
  PLANTING 
  THIS 
  

   YEAR 
  TO 
  OFFSET 
  THE 
  LOSSES 
  OF 
  FRUIT 
  TREES 
  IN 
  THE 
  PAST 
  TWENTY-FI\E 
  YEARS? 
  Many 
  people 
  

   feel 
  that 
  new 
  plantings 
  which 
  they 
  note 
  in 
  their 
  immediate 
  section 
  have 
  been 
  heavier 
  than 
  advisable 
  but 
  the 
  

   facts 
  are 
  that 
  we 
  are 
  selecting 
  our 
  location 
  for 
  an 
  orchard 
  with 
  more 
  thought 
  today 
  and 
  those 
  sections 
  which 
  

   have 
  every 
  natural 
  advantage 
  for 
  fruit 
  production 
  are 
  having 
  heavy 
  new 
  plantings 
  but 
  the 
  figures 
  for 
  the 
  entire 
  

   Country 
  show 
  that 
  there 
  has 
  been 
  a 
  constant 
  decline 
  in 
  fruit 
  plantings 
  from 
  1910 
  (o 
  1935 
  and 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  

   NON 
  -BEARING 
  TREES 
  DROPPED 
  FROM 
  A 
  PEAK 
  OF 
  EIGHTY 
  MILLION 
  TREES 
  TO 
  EIGHTEEN 
  MIL- 
  

   LION 
  TREES 
  IN 
  1935. 
  WE 
  ASK 
  THAT 
  YOU 
  CONSIDER 
  THESE 
  FACTS 
  CAREFU 
  LLY 
  AND 
  LOOK 
  AHEAD 
  

   AND 
  VISUALIZE 
  IF 
  POSSIBLE 
  WHAT 
  TniS 
  DECLINE 
  IN 
  PLANTING 
  IS 
  GOING 
  TO 
  MEAN 
  TO 
  AMERICA 
  

   AS 
  A 
  FRUIT 
  PRODUCING 
  NATION— 
  WHAT 
  THIS 
  DECLINE 
  IN 
  PLANTING 
  IS 
  GOING 
  TO 
  MEAN 
  TO 
  YOU 
  AS 
  

   A 
  PRODUCER 
  IN 
  THE 
  NEXT 
  TEN 
  OK 
  TWENTY 
  YEARS. 
  

  

  We 
  realize 
  that 
  the 
  Nurserymen 
  have 
  a 
  In 
  go 
  part 
  to 
  piay 
  in 
  maintaining 
  our 
  vast 
  fruit 
  industry. 
  Conditions 
  

   such 
  as 
  we 
  have 
  experienced 
  during 
  Hie 
  pasl 
  few 
  years 
  take 
  their 
  toll 
  in 
  the 
  producing 
  Nurserymen 
  and 
  this 
  com- 
  

   bined 
  with 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  a 
  real 
  shortage 
  of 
  propagating 
  stock 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  few 
  years 
  has 
  prevented 
  normal 
  

   plantings 
  by 
  the 
  Nurserymen 
  leaves 
  I'm- 
  Country 
  with 
  an 
  abnormally 
  low 
  supply 
  of 
  first-class 
  fruit 
  trees 
  and 
  

   berry 
  plants. 
  THE 
  PLANTER 
  MUST. 
  INDEED, 
  CHOOSE 
  CAREFULLY 
  THE 
  SOURCE 
  OF 
  HIS 
  TREES 
  

   AND 
  PLANTS 
  WHICH

  WANTS
