Advantages of Fruit Culture at Amarillo Farmers Congress

Parker Earle of Roswell argues at the Amarillo Texas Farmers Congress that America's two vast dry prairies offer greater horticultural potential than humid lowlands. He predicts vast underground water, irrigation, and wind-powered wells will transform the Panhandle into a major orchard and vineyard belt, with apples and other fruits yielding far higher profits per acre than cereals. He cites rising fruit demand, improved transport, and the destiny of semi arid high plains as the future core of American agriculture.
