The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of A Philadelphia newspaper has advised the farmers of Pennsylva nia and the East to visit the or- chaids of the Northwest, to learn a lesson in fruit culture. It con tends that they can raise just as fine a quality of apples on the At lantic coast, if proper care is taken to prevent diseases and pests. At tention is also called to the at tractive manner in which J Wash ington and Oregon apples are sort ed and packed, whereas the East ern fruit is dumped into a barrel. It concludes that this is only one of the many lessons that the East ern farmer can learn from his wes tern brother.
