Few peoplo estlmato thevahioand
importance of the fruit crop in North
west Missouri this year. It is Muted
that Andrew county alono lias Mild over
$100,000 worth. Holt, tho banner fruit
county, will do better, while Atchison,
Noda vay, .jcutry and DeKalli, will as
sist. Of courso no reliable figures can
bo obtnined, but an estimate cau bo
formed by considering tho shipments
from ccitiin ullrond stations, btew
artsvllle, Savannah, AmazoHia, Oregon,
St. Joseph and Maryville havo been tho
principal shipping points for litis sea
son's crop, and estimates have been
made which partially show tho magni
tude and importance of tho fruit culture
in Northwest Missouri. It is certainly
gratifying to all owners of orchards,
that tho crop tills year is a profitable
ono. Indeed, it may ho stated that fruit
culture always pays woll. A oomp'ete
lallure of the npplo crop in Northwest
Missouri lias never been known, while
very near us. Iowa, Nrbraskn and Da
kota, can not successfully ralso apples
Whenever nu acre of ground In npplo
trees with no cultivation other than
trimming nnd locking niter tho trees,
will brine ti crop of apples worth say

pear to every farmer that a few acres in
