Apple Growing in Southern Vermont
Bennington Banner.)

bennington Banner
A recent survey of Windham coun-
ty with respect to the apple orchards
completed by 4. w. Sweeton. agent of
the Windham county farm bureau,
shows that there are approximately
$4,000 young trees in the county be
tween the ages of two and Is years.
This is an excellent showing and proves
that the agitation for increased fruit
growing III some sections of Vermont
is beginning to show results. While
Bennington county is able to show a
greater planting of fruit trees, over
$4,000 having been set during the past
seven years in the town of Bennington
alone, it il probable that our neighbors
across the mountain are going into the
business on a wider scale and the or
ehards there spread over broader area
of territory. That there is no section
of the state better adapted to the
growing of apples is demonstrated By
exhibits that have been made by the
two leading orchardists of this county
at recent Vermont and New England
shows. Some of the first prizes foI
| leading varieties of fruit grown in the
east have been won by The Orchards
| of Old Bennington and t. H. West OF
| Dorset and at the New England shows
! the exhibits were in competition witt
those of orchardiSts from other state,
in which apple growing on scientif,
lines has been pursued for many years
| New England apples today are sellin!
for as much money right in New Eng
land as oranges grown i'll Florida an,
California. The Vermont farmer VIII
has had the foresight to plant an or
chard is going to reap the benefit o
his wisdom.
