Apple crop promising in Kansas orchards and nurseries
Topeka Kansas May 4 Kansas can claim distinction as an apple growing state as well as a wheat producer according to J C Mohler secretary of the state board of agriculture. The northeastern corner of the state and the Arkansas river valley particularly in the south central counties are the leading orchard areas. The Kaw river valley nurseries produce ninety percent of the apple seedlings planted in the United States. Kansas has more than 1128000 bearing apple trees and about 500000 trees too young to bear fruit. In 1922 bearing age trees averaged one and one half bushels each.
