APPLES 
The cry of ‘ovei-piroduction” of fruits 
need strike terror to none except those 
growing poor grades; for the world’s best 
things are never over-done. 
Further, whoever puts a poor grade or 
a poor quality of fruits on the markets 
is Just insofar as his product is capable 
ot influencing the markets, destroying 
the demand for fruits. For instance, 
whoever eats a Spitzenburg, Yellow New- 
town or Delicious, in the proper season 
of the ripening of these varieties, will 
want more apples. Whoever eats a Ben 
Davis or Missouri Pippin will feel less 
desire for fruit, for these varieties do 
not so strongly appeal to the average 
taste The Arkansas Black is for beauty 
the best apple we grow, but for taste it 
is inferior to several other varieties, and 
is almost always sold before its proper 
period of ripening. 
The figures of profits above given are 
based upon the growing of the best vari- 
eties and average market conditions.

Recommendations by State Experiment 
Station 
The following is the list of fruits rec- 
ommended by the horticulturist of the 
183 
state agricultural experiment station at 
Pullman for planting in that part of the 
state lying east of the Cascade mountains. 
In cases where the varieties to be recom- 
mended for planting in the irrigated val- 
leys are different from those best adapted 
to the non-irrigated uplands, this is indi- 
cated. The letters (FE), (M) and (L) 
indicate that the varieties ripen early, mid- 
season, or late, respectively. The lists 
do not include all varieties that might 
be planted, but are those which experi- 
ments and actual orchard practice have 
shown to be desirable for general plant- 
ing. The varieties are arranged alpha- 
betically in each case
