These orchards were quite similar in sp far as ape, variety and other practices followed. ,,
Then there is the case of both men sending Yorks to the processor —the man who thinned sold 9725 lbs. received $239.23, while another who had dot thinned sold 9230 lbs. for $188.65.
What about volume? Well, Tm told the area of an apple Is the cube -of its diameter. Thus a 3 in. apple has 27 cu. inches in volume, or more than twice the volume of an apple but one-half inch smaller in diameter. Again to refer to the prices quoted it looks like $1.10 difference per hundned lbs. between 2Yz and up No. 1—A, and 2Vi - 2% No. 1—A would exceed the cost of thinning far enough to allow a juicy profit. Yes, there are Dollars and Sense in Thinning.
