xinia-Adv~rtises Crops Es-
e~Ilencies.

The division of markets. Virginia
department OF agriculture. has issued
a list of commercial apple growers
in the state TO be distributed to buy
ers all over the country. The list.
while not complete, covers nearly all
OF the owners Of orchards producing
carload or more of any one variety
of apples for the market, and gives
the number of barrels which each ex-
poets to produce of each of the stan
dard varieties. The names are group
ed by counties.
At the same time, the division Of
markets Is at work collecting infor-
nation about crop conditions In all
the apple growing sections OF the
entire country, and about market con-
ditions generally, for the purpose of
keeping the Virginia growers inform
ed so that they may be able to sell
their crops to the best advantage,
Besides being intended to give the
growers every possible advantage In
obtaining full value for their crops,
the plan Is expected to facilitate the
distribution of the marketing crop in
a way to cut down freight and storage
charges all Of which will ultimately
help the grower.
The circular which gives the list
calls attention to the superior quality
of the Virginia winesap and the AL
bemarle Pippin. and the unusual ex-
port value Of the Works, The Yorks
Staymans and Black Twigs in recent
years have made the valley section
as famous for Its apples as the Pied
mont section has been for It's winesaps
and pippins.
