APPLE TREES 
Young Apple Trees have not been set 
out nearly as fast as the old Apple Trees 
have died out. That’s the situation in a 
nutshell As a consequence the “King 
of Fruits” has suffered. Neither the mar¬ 
ket nor the home now contain the apple 
varieties they need. Plant an orchard 
now and profit by this splendid fruit 
when it comes into bearing. Every farm 
should have a producing orchard, with 
a proper balance of early and late va¬ 
rieties. Sears prices are low, the trees 
are carefully selected from hardy healthy 
stock and many new varieties have been

FROM REPORT OF U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE 
BUREAU OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS 
“The average production of Apples in the U. S., which 
reached a peak in the period of 1913-1917, is now at about the 
1910 level, while the number of trees has decreased approxi¬ 
mately 46 per cent.” 
Translated into numbers of trees, both bearing and non¬ 
bearing age, this means a reduction of approximately 60 
million trees!
