The apple crop Is not confined to

There the business seems to have

marvellous said Mr. Williams. The
farmers of West Virginia seem to be
able to grow, to put out larger and
finer crops OF the fruit every year
and. the average In West Virginia is
booming with leaps and bounds.

West Virginia is already starting to
