Garfield, Pa.-During September and
October of each year all roads In
Berks county lead to the cider and
apple butter mills, for this is the sea-
son when everybody has more ap-
pies that he needs for winter use.
There Is no farming community in
Berks county today that does not have
its community cider mill. where farm
ers can take their apples in the morn
ing and return with the cider few
hours later, but there are only two
or three places In this great agri-
cultural county where the farmer can
so speedily turn his fruit into nice.
