PANHANDLE GREAT
APPLE DISTRICT
Hon. w. e. outealt Tells Wheeling
Newspaper Something About
Our Fruit

WHEELING, W. Va, Dec. g.
That most Of the fruit trees in the
Eastern Panhandle Of West Virginia
are free from the San Jose scale and
that there is little probability of its
ever injecting the fruit of that vicin-
ity was the statement Saturday morn
ing by Hon. W. T.. Outcalt. of Martins
burg. who arrived TO attend the meet
ing of the officers and committees of
the West Virginia Sunday School as
sociation to be held next Tuesday eve
ming at the Stratford hotel Mr. out
calf Is a member Of the executive
committee, and while in this city is
the guest of friends.
Mr.. Outcalt Is a prominent fruit
grower Of Berkeley county, and a few
days ago purchased an orchard of
$500 trees, five thousand of which
are apple trees. He stated that when
the orchard was set out a few years
ago that only two trees in the lot
died When the orchard has reach
ed its maturity, it will require 500
persons to pick the fruit.
The apple crop this year, accord
ing to Mr. Outcalt, Is a large one al
though ii does not equal that of last
year which was probably the largest
in the history of the industry He de
clares that the demand for the fruit
Is always equal to the supply and
therefore the crop finds ready mar
ket West Virginia apples, Mr.. Out
cali says are the finest in the United
States and are sold in all the largest
markets of the country and many
are sent to England
A few week. ago a severe wind
storm swept that section of the state
and caused several thousand of APP
pies to fall. Many of these apples
fell on plowed ground and were not
bruised. They were placed on the
market finding a ready sale at 30
cents a bushel.
Speaking of the vote on the prohi-
bition amendment at the recent cleo
ton. Mr.. Outcalt stated that the SEN
timent of the people In that section
of the stae was strongly in favor of
prohibition. He said that at a recent
meeting of fruit growers in Martins
burg a conference relating to business
matters was held with a Baltimore
man. and at its close the man suggest
ed that they retire to a cafe where
he would treat, Every man at the
meeting declined, however, and the
Maryland man seemed very much sur
prised at their refusal and decided
/ that he himself did not want drink.
