Apple Picking Time.

The orchardists of this country are
about ready for licking and packing
apples. Some of them started the work
this week, and by the first of next week
apple picking will be in full swing.
Labor is rather scarce and high prices
are prevailing, wages of men running
from $3.50 to $3.50 day. A good many
women and children will be pressed into
service in order to keep the work NOV
ing along. F..
They are practically no apple buyers
here this year. Those who first came
around offered prices that were not
satisfactory to the growers, and most
of the orchard men of this neighborhood
will sell their apples through the Mar
tinsburg Fruit Exchange. Some sales
have already been made. c. D. Wysong
and E. L. Goldsborough have each sold
carload of Yorks at $500 a barrel.
The prevailing prices for Yorks will
probably be $3.50 to $500, and Ben
Davis $3.50 to $500. Jonathans,
Grimes Golden, Black Twig and Wine.
saps are selling around 5000 barrel.
The Martinsburg Fruit Exchange reports
having sold two carloads Of apples for
Vincent Q. Moore, of Kearneysville, at
$500 for Senators, $500 for Jonathans
and $3.50 for Stark Delicious.
VIM I. McQuilkin will ship a large
part OF his apples in bulk. The hail
storm that passed over his orchard some
weeks ago pitted good deal ofthe fruit,
ana while 1t is damaged but little, it
Will not pass for No. fruit, so he &C
cepted good price for a large part of
it to be shipped in bulk. He has begun
picking in his orchard.
