Population U. S. Different Census Years 1910—Approx 92,000,000 1935—Estimated 130,000,000 Increase—Estimated 38,000,000. Our 2-yr., 5 to 6 ft. and 2-yr., 4 to 5 ft. Apple Trees. Note the well branched tops and excellent root system. The above facts are very significant when considered as a basis for future apple tree plantings, because, 1—A heavy and constant decrease in the number of apple trees has taken place in the period 1910-35, the number in 1935 being not greatly more than half of 1910. 2—The number of non-bearing trees in 1935 but little more than 25% of the number in 1910. 3^An increase in average tree production from 1910 to 1925 has taken place, but the difference in aver- age tree production since then has not been significant, for a material gain. 4—The normal increase in population of more than one million each year means increased consumption of apples and 130 million people must be eating a lot more apples than 92 million in 1910. Therefore if we are to believe these census figures America will consume more apples from this time forward than ever before in history. Surely the apple grower today has every reason to increase his planting
