There is no market now for diseased apples or light weight ciw grea-e, but thetnirket for perfect apples and high grad') creamery but'er i a hungry one and i constantly growing Nearly all Columbia county apple are sold I waily or to I'ortlanl, t ir the reason that a yet we have not s illici-nt ac:e age to a'tract the attention ol buyers for the foreign market.
