Apple Crop

Apple Crop
The apple crop this year will be
an abundant one. The Transparent
and Williams which are now being
picked, will hardly pay the owners
for the trouble. 1t seems strange
that a crop of apples like the Trans
parent which are so fine to can and
for that good old dish called apple
sauce should not be used by every
body in every way possible.
The poor, when times are hard
like they are at the present time can
in many ways use the apple crop
now being picked and which can be
bought very cheap, to help keep the
wolf from the door.
The writer a few days ago was
passing the Pratt Orchards between
Glendale and Milton, where apple
picking was going on. He stopped
and asked Mr.. Pratt if he could Sc
cure a few apples for family use,
He answered, yes, either a basket or
a car load, and taking a basket
which we had he proceeded to fill it
with choice Transparent apples. Not
only this but he brought to the car
and put it aboard and when l asked
the price, and he told me, l was
amazed. A solid bushel of apples at
a price which would not pay for the.
spraying, let alone the cultivating
and picking.
| Mr.. Pratt is at all times kind
and courteous gentleman, and we
hated to see as we motored along
trees full of both apples and peach
es, which will prove loss to the
owner.
Carnival
Friday and Saturday nights will
be the last two nights of the Ellen
dale Firemens Carnival. We hope
the people will turn out both nights
and give the carnival such boost
as will make the boys hearts glad,
and will be the means of selling all
their wares, and put into their
treasury a goodly sum of money.
