MOBILES COUNTY FRUIT.
|: W. have heretofore mentioned the
fact that the Mobiles county fruit taken
east by I. n. Chadwick xl.L exhibited
vt several cOumty fairs in western New
York had attracted ~, little attention
and taken special premiums. Mr..
Chadwick writes rs follows from R,,si,-
vile, N. r.. under date Of Nov. y, to
II. J.. Ludlow:

People ''dnwn east" ought not to liz
surprised at Minnesota apples. for
Minnesota had the best exhibit 1T ap-
rles this year ut the Nati"nal II"rti-
cultural Fair held 1T Philadelphia and
took the first premium. Min"rs",a
will in due time he \ great apple State.
People think it is too far north I"
raise apples. 4" they? People th",eht
THAT If Micl,iga" wh+n it was first SIT.

apple state 0f the west. And how far
