APPLES GROWN Siuco early days, when .every farm hud its or chard, producing many kinds of fruit, Roj:ue Kiver tipples have been noted for quality. No finer apple is produced anywhere in the world. It is p. far cry from tho home orchard, with its hundred varieties, good, bad and indifferent, to the modern commercial orchard, with its one or two varieties only.
