st. Louis exposition in 1898, Noah
Sheely, now dead, who conducted a
fruit farm three miles west of Arndts-
Vile, Adams county, shipped a lot of
apples to wholesale fruit dealer in
st. Louis.
That marked the beginning of fruit
growing on a commercial basis in the
now famous Adams county fruit belt
and the business has grown to such
mammoth proportions that 1t is esti-
mated nearly 1900 carloads of apples
and peaches will be picked during the
coming Fall. Last year there was a
total of 1900 carloads and at that
time many of the young orchards were
not bearing. This year trees in many
