GREATEST FRUIT
CROPS IN DECADE
Orchards OF Big Sandy
Valley Yield Up EnOr-
nous Product.

The apple crop in the Big Sandy
valley is heayier this year than at
any previous time within the past
fifteen years. All kinds of fruits.
Including grapes and berries, have
honrished. The apple crop is sim
ply enormous, and thousands of
bushels lie rotting in the orchards.
Farmers, unable TO sell more
than the flower Of their crop, are
making cider and preserving vast
quantities of the fruit, but even
after this has been done there still
remains thousands of barrels for
which there is no accessible mar.
ket.
Some Of the best Of these or.
chards lie several miles mote from
railway facilities, and this fact adds
greatly to the enormity of the
waste. In Wayne county. and In
Boyd, Lawrence, Preston and
Floyd counties, Kentucky. or.
cbards have proven unusually pro-
ductive, and in some instances the
best trees have been literally ruined
by the burden Of fruit, which has
broken their branches. -Ex.
