MARTLNSBURG: Berkeley county,
West Virginia, is beginning to market
its splendid apple crop. now consid-
cred by apple experts to be the best in
the East and attracting nationwide
attention among fruit dealers. Esti-
mates Of the crop vary but a clnserva-
tive estimate is 100000 barrels. This
means more than the great crop of two
years ago, 1t is said, because the apples
are uniformly larger and their quality
perhaps twenty-five per cent ahead OF
any former season.
