North Knox Potato and Apple Grow
ers Association was organized here,
Tuesday evening, by c. e. Embree

Union is most important shipping
center. there having been shipped
over the Georges Valley Railroad the
past season, on the way to the mar
kets, SO carloads or 12.450 barrels of
potatoes.
The bylaws of the new association
will require every grower of apples
to spray his trees, otherwise the as
ISOLATION will not handle his fruit.
Many orchards in that section are in
very bad condition, owing to the raw
ages of the tent caterpillar and
brown-tail moth. In fact, the orchards
in that section are not taken care of
in accordance with the methods en-
ployed in sections, where speciality
is made of apples.
This requirement will, no doubt,
double the yiel1 of apples throughout
this section, as soon as the associa
ton can get all growers to adopt
modern methods in taking care of the
orchards.
