Ted, bringing a load of fruit 
to town at a late hour of the 
night. But the market was

move the fruit out of his 
truck and make ‘the change, 
it was sold.. Only trouble 
was, he did not have enough. 
In case you are in doubt about 
the future of fruit growing, look at 
these figures: 
y. S. census on apple trees in 
commercial orchards shows: 
19302 cece ee 88,848,970 trees 
1940 See cle ee 58,152,100 trees 
And at this time the figure would 
be way lower yet. Other fruit va- 
rieties declined accordingly. Fruit 
prices rose accordingly, and are 
due for further rises. 
These photos and figures are 
only for the man who thinks and 
figures, and for him they are a 
better tip than any he can get on 
the race-track.
