This is a scene in one of our huge apple orchards. We have found that trees with low 
heads are easy to pick from and so we always advise our friends to keep their trees low 
and spreading. 
APPLES— WHY YOU SHOULD PLANT ’EM 
Uncle Sam says that corn, wheat, and oats bring in about $18 an acre. Our 
good uncle also says that Apples are worth over a hundred dollars. Now, the 
question is: Are you going to plug along on $18 when you can have $100 just 
as well? 
There is always a big demand for this fruit. The people in the towns and 
cities can not get enough big, juicy apples. Apple trees make a permanent 
source of income. You can be just as sure of a crop of Apples as of a crop of 
potatoes. The labor required in fruit growing is less than that needed in gen¬ 
eral farming—and you know that the help question is one of the biggest things 
you have to contend with. 
You can grow farm crops between the Apple trees for a few years, and make 
the orchard pay for itself before it begins to bear. The home gardener or the 
farmer who plants fruit trees is simply insuring a food supply for the future. 
And this is the year for you to take out the “insurance policy” of apple trees. 
The following table shows just what Apples are best adapted to your 
section. Whether you grow for your own use or for market, you will find this 
table of much help.
