. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. Southern Idaho Apples on Exhibition at the National Horticultural Congress at Council Bluffs in 1910, which will give some idea of what the show will be this year at St. Joseph, Missouri, November 23 to December 2 in the western mountains of North Carolina, where the soil and climate is much the same as in West Virginia; the leading varieties are Winesap, York Imperial, Rome Beauty and Ben Davis. Spraying and cultivation are prac- ticed, but to a limited extent. Many orchards are being set and apple grow- ing is becoming popular in the regions adapted to it. Appl

Apples are not largely grown com- mercially in South Carolina, although in the Piedmont and Alpine regions, ranging in elevation from 400 to 3,000 feet, apples can be grown in tempting variety. The fertile valleys and moun- tain coves in these regions, under the manipulation of skillful hands and a competent head, would make apple growing profitable, even this far south.

The production, how^ever, for the year in which the census was taken was low, being but 670,900 bushels. All the commercial orchards of apples are in what is known as the Tennessee dip, where in the mountain coves apples thrive as well as in any of the states in the North, Pickens, Gilmer, Murray and Fannin Counties being famous for their apples.
