Apple Orchards Planted Now Will Bring 
in Future Profits 
“TI think any planting of apple orchards now, of the right 
varieties, will pay big dividends in a few years, as orchards 
here are going out many times faster than new ones are 
coming in.’’

New Market Methods Make Peaches Profitable 
“It looks to me like there are good prospects for peaches 
in the future, because there is now being worked out, in 
almost all parts of the country where peaches are grown, a 
marketing plan, also a grading and packing plan, to get the 
best grades possible on the markets and to help to keep 
from demoralizing the market with culls and low grade 
fruit. I do not believe there can be too many good peaches 
put on the markets, if they are well distributed and gotten 
to the consumer without too much marketing expense, so 
the consumer can afford to buy at a reasonable figure. 1 
think the greater number of growers in this state have come 
to that conclusion and will work together to get the better 
grades and pack, in fact there is now a movement on foot 
here to that end.”

Balanced Planting Will Prove Profitable 
“In regard to the future of the decidious fruit 
that a well balanced planting of apples, now or in 
the immediate future, will prove to be very profitable 
to anyone that will do so. 
“Plantings of the smaller fruits, (grapes, cherries 
and berries), where well taken care of have, in my 
observation, proven to be profitable in nearly every 
case. 
“The states in which | contact the fruit growers 
are Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, 
Oklahoma, Kansas, lowa, Nebraska, Colorado and 
New Mexico.”

Horticulture Versus Agriculture 
“When any kind of agricultural production in the past 
has paid good returns, fruit crops have been profitable. It 
is safe, therefore, for growers of apples, peaches, cherries, 
and small fruits to make this prediction for the future.” 
T. J. Talbert, 
Dean of Horticulture, 
Missouri University. 
Big Opportunities for Average Farmer 
“The Ozark region appears to offer a splendid opportunity 
for farmers who will set out well adapted fruit varieties on 
suitable soil and locations. Not only is there an opportunity 
for the commercial grower, but also for the average farmer 
with small orchards as a supplement to the family food 
supply and to boost the farm income. Profitable, average net 
returns can be realized over a period of years with proper 
cultural and marketing methods.”’

Would Pay Anyone to Plant Acreage of 
Young Orchard 
‘In placing my order with you for apple and peach trees, 
I feel that there is nothing I could plant on my farm that 
would bring in more returns, and now that the acreage of 
apple trees is so low, I think it would pay anyone to plant 
out an acreage of young orchard. The trees I have received 
from you have been very satisfactory.”’ 
Fred Turner, President 
Missouri State Horticultural Society
