NATIONAL APPLE DAY

Tuesday was National Apple day and
the heads of the State department of
agriculture did all in their pow
err to remind people of the fact, in
order that the observance of the day
within the State might be universal.
That the purpose of this day might be
understood by all, the following aE-
peal. containing much information was
sent out by the department:
THE first association with National
Apple day is very fittingly along the
line of feasting on the fruit. The date
for observing the anniversary was
purposely fixed at the time when the
average harvest for fall and winter
apples would be at its height and the
observance of the day would give
stimulus to trade in all markets by an
unusual demand for the fruit. The
practice of giving apples to children in
observing the festival will no doubt
prove to be a very efficient means for
perpetuating the annual observance,
for while the older people might for
get approaching anniversaries the
general public would be reminded by
the boys expecting their usual treat of
apples They are reminded that the
date this year is October 81.
That the day was established for
educational purposes should be kept
steadily in view, as the feasting upon
and general discussion of apples
should lead to divers and sundry meth
DDS of a general improvement in all
directions of apple culture.
No doubt the past season has been
exceptionally trying to large num-
Der of growers. The three months of
drouth and excessive heat showed
their visible effects on countless Or
chards Yet there is very striking
perceptible difference between the
well-cared for and neglected orchards.
| Intelligent growers are quite well in
! formed on the conservations of mois-
ture and manage to work along lines
of leading advantages against oppos-
ing forces.
with population increasing at the
rate of something near one million a
year in this country. all of which
must be fed and clothed from products
of the soil, land will continually ad-
vance in price from year to year as
sure as night follows day. And when
land finally reaches the soaring prices
anticipated, there will be no room af-
forded for barren orchards, or for OF
chards which yield nothing better than
seconds or culls. 1t will be found I'M
peratively necessary to grow strictly,
| frst-class fruit or retire from the or
chard business That the continual
observance of National Apple Day may
| be the means of bringing about the de-
sired condition is a consumation de-
voutly to be wished for
