BIG APPLE ORCHARD.
One to Cover B.OOO Acres to Be Plant
ed In Missouri.
Missouri is to have a 5,000 acre ap
ple orchard, the largest in the world
the Frisco road will bnild a track
throngh it from end to end, and depots
and warehouses will be erected for the
storage of the products. An evaporat
bag plant, a vinegar and cider plant, and
a canning establishment will be erected
and facilities provided for caring for
every portion of the -.'chard's product
on a business basis, the keynote to
which Is like that of the packing houses
not a thing shall be wasted.
The big orchard Is fo be located in
Laelede County, about three miles from
Lebanon, on a tract-occupying a north
ern plateau, nearly the whole of the 5,-
000 acres sloping to the north, a con
dition much sought for by orchardists
It Is owned by a company officered bj
Iowans and which expects to make an
investment od the property of $1,000,-
000.
It is proiKiced to set about 4,800 acrei-
of the tract to apples, the remaining
200 acres being reserved for building!
and other necessary purposes. Two
year-old apples trees are to be planta
on 1,000 aci'Ps next spring, and 251
acres of peach trees are to b planted
these to afford quicker returns than can
be expected from the apple trees. The
peach trees will be supplanted by ap
pie trees later, however. From thi
peach orchard returns are expected in
three years, while for the apple trees
six years are allowed. While the trees
are growing the company will plant the
land to corn, berries, and other crops,
in order to get a return from year to
year. Ktnmp pullers and si earn plows
are already at work, and the contract
has been let for clearing the entire
tract
The apples to he grown will be chiefly
of the Ben Davis and Jonathan varie
ties, which have been shown to be
adapted to that noil and which will keep
well remaining in cold storage for two
or three years. It is intended that the
orchard company shall market not only
the frnit of its own farm, but shall buy
and ship fruit from surrounding grow
ers, thus keeping constantly in close
touch with the markets and in position
to take advantage of every favorable
condition.
The Ozark country Is yearly takinc;
higher rank among the apple producing
sections, and one of the promoters of
the big orchard said he was advised the
apple growers of New York and other
of the older States were not replanting
their trees owing to the high values of
land in those sections. He says that
w ith the cheap lands of Missouri so well
adapted to apple growing and so cen
trally located as to the best apple mar
kets, the Ozark region will soon become
he apple producing center of the world,
