and so long as it is profitable a large
number Of Ben Davis trees will be
planted and great quantities of fruit
handled.
American Agriculturist concludes the
foregoing comments as follows: The
fact OF the matter is the Ben Davis Is
not so bad if properly handled. When
placed where the apple tends TO lose its
moisture and shrink 1t becomes tough
and spongy, but If kept in the right
kind Of fruit house it holds its plump
ness, is a reasonably good cooking APP
pie and Is not so bad eating out of
hand.
A Kansas farmer writes in an ex-
change of this fruit: Ben Davis has
broken into Scotland, and the people
there are glad to receive him. Enc
mics Of Ben have said that the hardy
Scotchman who has been living on
oatmeal perhaps does not mind the
branlike taste. That's all right. so Ben
gets there with both feet The Amer
lean producer of the Ben Davis apple
is not going to inquire about that so
long as they sell well.
