d APPLE EXHIBIT.
Mr.. Bruncr, Back From the Mountain Counties,
Speaks Most Encouragingly

Secretary T. X. Bruner of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, returned yesterday
morning from a visit through some Of the
western counties Of the State in the n
terest of the horticultural exhibit al the
coming State Fair. He brought back
with him some fine specimens Of the
Spitzenburg, the best apple grown in
America. and other varieties. They are
beauties.
The counties visited by Mr.. Bruner were
Mcdowell, Mitchell, Yancey, Madison,
Buncombe, Haywood. Catawba, Caldwell
aud Watauga. He says there will be per
haps one hundred varieties of apples on
exhibition this year.
Speaking of his trip, Mr.. Bruner said:
Mr.. j. Van Lindley, President OF the
State Horticultural Society. and myself
made this tour for the purpose of stimu-
lating the growers of fine fruit in the
western part OF the State to be repre-
scented at the coming State Fair.
The object was two fold, first. to help
find a market for the fruit already
grown, and secondly, to advertise the
region as the producer of the finest fruit
grown in this country, and incidentally
to correct the nomenclature of the varie-
ties, as the true names of some of the
finest American varieties have been lost
sight of, and such fruit as the SpitzeG-
burg, the Northern Spy. the Albemarle
Pippin and other high class, we'll known
fruits are grown there under local
synonymous. This carelessness, of course,
is bound to result in loss to the growers,
as, for instance. was manifest in q mixed
lot examined at Hickory on yesterday.
which sold for 80 cents a bushel. 1t con
tanned Virginia Beauties, Red Pippins, Ben
Davis. Spitzenburg and other fine varie~
ties along with a lot of nondeScript
seedlings. Separated. this fruit would
have run from so cents to 500 a bushel.
The crop in the mountin counties
Will probably average 50 per cent. Some
few varieties have failed altogether,
while others are extremely prolific, such
as the Ben Davis. Red Romantic, Vir-
ginia Beauty, and Others
Mr.. Bruncr has assurances of exhibits
from counties as far west as Macon and
as far southwest as Polk and Hendcr-
son. In other words, he thinks that the
collection Will practically cover the entire
mountain region.
Mr.. Moses Cone. of Watauga. who has a
commercial orchard of 40, 600 trees, and
who is making an experiment in apple
culture which means a great deal to the
Ehole region, will make a small exhibit
from his family orchard, which is about
seven years old, his larger orchards not
having vet come into bearing.
On the higher lands of the eastern
Blue Ridge, in Caldwell, may be found
some of the finest fruit to be found in
the mountains.
Mr.. Bruner said that Mr.. Van Lindlcy,
who has had large experience in apple
culture, and whose first visit this was
to the mountain counties, is very greatly
impressed with the value of that region.
and thinks that it should grow all the
apples used in the South Atlantic States.
