7HE Fruit CROP o. 1859.
And Of East Tenn.

And Of East Tenn.
The fruit crop of 1889 is a large
one, the crop in California is large
and the fruit of that state is superb
or to the fruit of almost any other
state or section and California sun.
dried fruit is almost if not quite
equal to the evaporated fruit of
other sections of the country, and
the reason that it is so is two-fold, |
first they raise a superior quality of
fruit, then the day air and hot sun
in that state during the dry season
enables the Californians to dry their
fruit rapidly and thoroughly, then
it may bethat they select the best
ripe fruit for drying hence they OBJ.
tain the very best results. North
Carolina dried apples are generally
worth from IL to cents more
than Tennessee apples, this must
be due to the fact that greater care
is taken in the handling; it is a
mistaken idea to conclude that it
makes no difference how thing is
handled, if you can only find sale
for it, it may seem to make no diff.
terence for while but the effects
of careless and Indifferent hand
ling of any article will tell upon the
marketing of that article at some
time in the future and the family
or country who thus carelessly pre-
pare their products for the market
i, will be the Sufferers. Why
should North Carolina sundried APP
piles be worth l to cents more
! than Tennessec's Please take no.
; tice And make it a rule to al
y ways produce the best, by cultiva-
ton and careful handling.
The fruit crop of East Tennessee
l is also a large one, but the frut
s generally is small, and it is very
necessary that it be properly anC
judiciouSly handled, in order to ger
the best prices. Dry none but the
beStripe fruit, cut it in as large
pieces as it is possible to do, ther
take great care in drying if in thu
sun, see that it does not get wet by
either rain or dew, but if in dry
kiln or in dry house, see that i
does not get scorched. Fruit pre-
pared in this way and that has al
the seed cells and the Feelings re
= moved, will always find ready
market and as fruit is plentiful this
; year and prospects of low prices i
. is sufficient to say that poorly pre-
pared and poorly dried fruit anC
berries, will hardly find any buy
:, ers. These suggestions are simpl,
|. thrown out that you may thinl
