ADVICE to Growers in Counties
That tbe prospects for apple growers
.nsl.rars are excellent and that as
:. t,rit can be grown in the State of
o.,v.re \, as Of any other state of
4. Union, is the opinion OF William
s',lipg, Of KinderhoOk, n. " the
N Known apple grower and expert,
M has spent the past to weeks in
r,Dt County viewing apple orchards
Investigating conditions among the
-. growers of this section. Mr..
I g',,lino who represents the Division
4 Farm Institutes of the New York
( S,,,d Of Agriculture, had charge of
4 a. demonstration of the New York
,,ols law when it went into effect last
Az. When a similar law was passed

are Board of Agriculture, who is an
nbusiastic worker for the improve
I rspt Of fruit growing and farming

bniIisr with the working of the law,
4 nd is himself large grower and ship
n M Of apples, be was recommended by
n asNeW York Board to come here and
4 hEs up the work. He completed his
uOi the State last week. Before
\ aing Mr.. Hotaling said:
Declares Prospect Fine in Delawae
4 After looking over the situation in
Delaware ] am sure the prospect here
4 ine Of the very best for apple grow
\ hg that have seen anywhere. There
! maiew things that believe are very
npOrtant and should be considered
gY carefully by the growers. One
tthe first and most important is the
slectiOn Of varieties. Every section
a tthe country where apples are grown
better adapted to growing some par.
NVlaT varieties than any other. In
IBIS section the Stayman seems to be
AEsme, rather closely followed by
ihsold fashioned Winesap and a few
'thE kinds of winter apples. Another
nng Of wonderful Importance is the
F0per distance of planting. The per
alnency Of apple growing as a bust
lS' will depend largely upon the ag,
NVhleh the trees can be carried il
POHlable bearing. This will in turl
aepend very largely upon the method
apfuning followed during the earl,
Ms Oithe tree. Then, as a matter o
course, the next thing of impOrtanc
riAe amount which can be realize,
V'n the growing of apples. Thi
must always depend upon marketin,
"g00d advantage, which is again de
PENDENT very largely upon the qualit
"Halt and the manner in which it
I Acked.
racNng Law Works to Advantage
There is a good market for al
Anls and all sizes of apples. The es
sa'al thing in the marketing is to en-
,ele 'ne buyer to buy the sizes an
I'ua' desired for his particular pul
%'e This is where the Delawar
'%Alng Law promises to revolutioniz
lAAstlng fruit, when it is packed an
SIEed IN accordance with the Law
'1n Will enable every man to buy jul
'1''ne wants and get the best pric
%''ly particular grade. Much of tb
satisfaction at the present time e.
n'''ed over this new packing law
same as was expressed in Ne
lux Ia'A State in many cases by grower
:'l0's IAey fully understood the worI
VI the law. However, Ifeel qui
1 D.. s' mat as in New York State so
i..a aaVaIe the better the growers u
Sa"'s suu the packing law and Il
~ S'' 'ney comply with it, they w
Any, 4' rapidly to feel that it is to the
s, uC' advantage and will like it be
'u' better as time goes on"
