Arkansas has enough apple trees of bearing age to produce a very large crop, but, as in Missouri and Illinois, the unfavorable climatic conditions in recent years have proven a rather serious handicap to the development of orchard interests, and generally speaking planting is not being extended at present. Minne- sota—Apple culture in Minnesota is now mostly confined to the southeast quarter of the state, which, like North- ern Iowa, Southern Wisconsin and Southeastern South Dakota, falls within the Wealthy belt. From Minneapolis .southward to the Iowa line many farm orchards are found, and some commer- cial plantings, but they do not produce enough apples to supply the local mar- kets. Planting increases slowly. Prob- ably it will assume greater importance when more desirable, hardy, late-keep- ing varieties are developed. Iowa—In amount of crop produced Iowa now ranks next below Washington. North- ern Iowa is beginning to make ship- ments in car lots, including such vari- eties as Wealthy, Duchess of Olden- burg, Patten Greening and Northwest- ern Greening. Commercial orchards are scattered throughout the state. Passing southward the amount of the apple crop increases and becomes most important in Southern, and particularly in Southwestern Iowa, where Grimes and Jonathan of excellent quality are grown along with Ben Davis and other Missouri varieties. It is stated that one station in Southwest Iowa shipped over six hundred carload
