APPLE GROWING |S. REVIVED INDUSTRY
Old Apple Orchards Are Re- iuvenated By Science And
 Modern Methods

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The old orchard used to be a rambling place of gnarled trees, where apple blossoms and violets ran riot In the spring and the early windfalls were lost in the tall rank grass of August Throughout the eastern states began to realize that orchards might be more than a picturesque spot Apple Week and the recent eastern apple exposition and fruit show at the grand central palace, New York, tes- tlfy to the strides that have been made in commercializing. the apple crop, Fruit growing has become one of the important industries in the United States and has been worked out as scientifically as the manufac- ture of rubber or the selling of bonds.
 F Apple growing stands second or third among New York state indus tries" says Thomas E. Cross of the New York State Horticulture society.
 Since the development of co-opera- tive marketing of fruits the indi- vidual farmer has been able to take advantage of the standardization made possible under a trade name. Before the growers got together one enough apples to make his brand name mean anything in the big mar kets. There was little chance for standardization5i and the result was that apples were shipped as mere apples. The same thing was true of other fruits."
 Within the last four or five years, Mir. Cross explained, huge co-opera- tive associations have sprung up in the fruit-growing sections, and through them have been developed the modern methods of caring for the fruits that have revolutionized the industry
 Tt requires a great deal of labor and patience to produce good apples said MT. Cross. The trees have to be sprayed over and over again. The season starts with the dormant spray before the blossoms appear, to guard against the San Jose scale. Just as

COUNTY LEAGUETOI MEET ON TUESDAY

A meeting of the Jefferson County Prep School Baseball league has been called by W. J. Baird. principa. of the Jefferson County High school. for next Tuesday night at the Cen tral "Y'' to complete plans for the local high school loop for another year. Practically all of the league members of last year have already signified their intention of again participating in the organization, and it is expected that probably the six member league will be increased to eight. Mortimer Jordan is likely to be one of the new members, while several others are being considered for the eighth berth.
 The six members of last year are Simpson, Jefferson, Jones Valley, Shades -Cahaba, Hueytown and Bes- semer. Simpson won the pennant last season, but will certainly en- counter plenty of opposition in de lending her laurels this year, as sew eral of the member teams have strong aggregations while the champions have only five letter men back.
