tor of Rural New "Yorker on
Virginia Apples.
EXHIBIT AT WINCHESTER LIKE A
FLOWER GARDEN—GIVE« STRONG
PRAISE FOR THE ORCHARD PRODUCT
OF THIS STATE
In the current issue of the Rural
New Yorker, the noted agricultural
publication,.Mr. H. W. Collingwood,
the editor, whose travels and observa
tions have covered a wide range, prints
over his initials the following interest
ing aud suggestive letter about the re
cent exhibit of Virginia apples at
Winchester:
APPLE SHOW LIKE A FLOWER GARDEN.
Last week I went down to Winches
ter, Va., to attend the Virginia State
Horticultural Society meeting. When
the average person hears of Winchester
he immediately says "20 miles away,"
and pictures a short, fierce looking man
riding a black horse along a country
road. That is the sort of indelible ad
vertisement which a poet has given the
Shenandoah Valley, and it has obscur
ed other practical and useful things. If
we call Vermont the "bashful" State
and Maine "contented" because they
will not let people know the full truth
about their apples, I do not know what
name to apply to Virginia. This val
ley produces apples in such variety and
of such beautiful color and quality that
a fruit show here is like a flower gar
den. At the Boston fruit show Bald
win, R. I. Greening, Russet and North
ern Spy provided most of the speci
mens. At Winchester I fouud only
one plate of Baldwins and not one
Greening, though some Northwestern
Greenings were shown. There was a
great display of York Imperials,
Grimes, Winesap, Albemarle and other
varieties which apparently grow to per
fection in this valley. Mr. Van Deman,
who judged this fruit, and who has
been doing similar judging all over the
Northwest, told me that several boxes
shown at this Virginia exhibition were
the finest he ever saw. The color was
superb, and as for quality I do not
know what more I can say than that
some of those Virginia Ben Davis were
plenty good enough to eat.
AN EYE-OPENER.
This great fruit show would surely
have proved an eye-opener to thousands
of Americans wbo do not realize what
the people in this valley have been do
ing. Quietly and without any bluster
or bluff they have been growing anJ
shipping these beautiful apples. A
large share of the fruit has gone to Eu
rope. Once let these Virginians get to
gether in co-operative societies such as
they have in Oregon, and this boxed
fruit will be put into our Northern
markets.
The Virginia Horticultural Society
seems to have had the history which
goes with such organizations. For
years it struggled on, the meetings be
ing attended by an "old guard" of
faithful ones. Then suddenly and
without apparent cause it began to
gain, aud now has over 300 members
and a strong organization. That seems
to be the way things are working ev
erywhere. It means that unseen forces
of education and ambition have been
quietly at work upon younger men.
We older men do not slop to realize
that boys have grown up and are now
ready to do their share, and that the
old seed apparently sown upon barren
ground, is really giving a crop. If I
am not mistaken, too, this Virginia so
ciety is like many others in another
line of development. For years at its
annual meetings the problem of how
to produce more and better fruit was
the keynote. Sow it is found that the
question of economical production is
only one side of it, but that the selling
has come to be most important of all.
We are all learning, some in one way
and some in another, that we have been
standing back to let the middleman
carve up tlie consumer's dollar. It is
time we had more of the white meat
instead of "dressing," drumsticks and
(?ravy —and the only way to get it is to
take a hand at carving. The study of
how to do this ought to be a definite
part of an agricultural education. It
seems to be startmg in the farm organi
zations, and it ought to succeed through
the farmers' institutes, colleges and ev
periment stations
One notable feature of this horticul
tural meeting was a visit to the famous
apple orchards of S. L. Lupton. We
do not hear as much about the "Sunny
South" as we used to, and it is a good
thing for those who like to stick to
facts. The lower edge of the "Blizzard "
hovered over Winchester, and when we
were ready to start for the orchard
there was a coating of ice over all the
trees, with the air full of sleet. The
procession consisted of one automobile
and perhaps 20 carriages. As Ido not
often have a chance to figure as promi
nent citizen or distinguished guest I
felt the sense of honor and power as I
sat in the auto and went whirling by
all the horse vehicles. At the orchard
the chilled horticulturists grouped
around a hot stove and enjoyed a good
lunch. It was too wet to travel over
the fields, but we had a good chance to
see how the trees are headed and prun
ed and how the soil is handled.
MODESTY OF THE VALLEY PEOPLE.
It seems as if these people in the
Shenandoah Valley have been as mod
est about telling their history as in
"booming" their apples. Perhaps it
is our fault for not doing more study
ing. I was told about fine brick houses
200 years or more old. Every brick
was brought from England and hauled
from the sea coast either in wagons or
on horseback. Let us think what it
meant to carry these thousands of brick
through the wilderness to build great
mansions in the forest. What a fine
disdain for ordinary building material,
and what a sublime faith in the future
of this country. It was not a good day
to see the laud, but I noticed the roll
ing sweep of the great valley. The
limber at this point seems to have been
mostly cut off, but young fruit trees
are going in, and it ife only a question
of years before this section will be one
vast sweep of orchards.
"It is surely God's country!" said my
companion. "I have travelled all over
the land, but I always come back to
the Shenandoah Valley to say it is the
best part of Virginia—and surely God's
country!"
heard men say that! Ohio, Canada,
Florida, California, Maine, Oregon—
wherever men live—be it in some
humble cottage or in some palace. If
life means contentment and peace the
locality does not matter.
It is "God's country"—and that is
home.
DEATHS DURING THE WEEK.
MRS. V. M. VOL'NH.
Mrs. Margaret S. Young, widow of
the late F. M. Young, in his day one

plained of feeling unwell, the doctor
was called, and in a short while she

years of age, and a most estimable wo
man. The funeral took place yesterday
and was conducted by Rev. Dr. O. F.
Gregory.

Want Virginia to Be Dry.
Without any argument and by an
unanimous vote, the Anti-Saloon
League in session in Richmond last
week, cast local option to the four winds
of the earth, and declared for State
wide prohibition. The legislature will
be asked at this session to pass a bill
enabling the people of the State to vote
on the question. Work is being done
by members of the league, and those
members of the general assembly who
are opposed to State-wide measures are
for the first time just a trifle scared.
It looks as if the "drys" were out to
win, and a pretty fight has been pre
cipitated.
From general reports we have receiv
ed, it looks as if there will be nothing
done by this legislature along State
wide lines.
