The enormity of the apple crop In
moments, when farmers come to the
city, they express themselves as willing
to take land under the project, and
not alone that, but are willing to get
others to Join them. This 'spirit In

concerted und systematic work, the
goal will be reached In a remarkably
short time. In less than a month, with

the corning campaign by the various
committees, a large bulk of the I;in!
