Figured at $1.00 a box, this crop is worth about $3,000. The bulk of the crop w as picked during the three-day period that all vocational shops helped. On Thurs day, October 9, a total of 1,020 boxes w as picked. Without this help, the agricultural boys would have been picking apples until Christmas, an d a part of that time would have been in rain. The members of the Agriculture departm ent wish to express their a p preciation to the vocational shop instructors and their students for their splendid assistance in getting the apple crop harvested in such a short time.
