Mr.. w. S. Wilson, representative
of |. n. Morrison 4 Co., buyers of
the principal part of the apple crop
of this county, has nearly finished

apples to Boston. He saws the apple
in this section this season tends to be
wormy, which required close culling,
aud that the orchardist shold spray
the trees about the time the bloom
falls. This, he SAYS, would kill all
insects, and the apple crop would be
increased one-fourth. Mr.. Wilson is
a good Judge of an apple, and has
much experience in buying and
packing them.
