This company was organized for the
purpose OF growing fruit, particularly ap-

soil, favorable climate, and altitude, they
decided TO locate in this section, where
the apples grow OF the largest size, Of
the finest color, and most delicate IA
vors They now own and operate a large
bearing orchard located on top Of Lick
Mountain. and are planting several hun
dred acres to apples in the famous Fall
ing Springs Valley, located between Cow
ington and Hot Springs. This is one OF
the largest fruit-growing companies now
oberating in this State. They have a
splendid organization, composed Of busi-
ness men as well as in agriculture and
horticulture, and success is sure TO crown
their efforts. The Appalachian section, OF
which Covington is the center. is rapidly
coming to the front in apple growing, as
the natural advantages for this purpose
are not to be found anywhere to equal
those Of this section.
Owing to the fact that on account Of
the richness Of the soil land IN this sec
ton commands q higher price than IN
most any other section partially accounts
for its not being so far advanced in fruit
growing as I'm some other sections OF
the State. However. buyers seeking
orchard lands are coming into this sec
ton, preferring TO pay a higher price in
order to get the rich limestone soil,
deeming II cheaper IN the long run.
Therefore this section has been making
rapid strides in this business within the
last few years. Another great advantage
they have is splendid local markets and
low freight rates to the large Eastern
