Until the Present Day
"The culture of apples in America
began at an early day. There was
in New England an old man who, in
his desire to do something to benefit
his fellow-men, collected apple cores
and when tho pioneers were begin
ning to settle tho central western
territories he crossed the Alleghenies
on foot, carrying a bag of applo seed
on his shoulder, and all he asked was
permission to plant them without
charge. 'Apple-Seed John," the
only name by which ho was known,
tramped thousands of miles, and ho
hns left behind him a monument
which many a rich man might envy.
If thnt glorious old vagrant could
know that in 1910 more than 10,000
carloads of commercial apples would
be harvested in Montana, Oregon,
Idaho and Washington, and moo
thnn 1,500,000 barrels, of apples
would be expected in tho United
Stntes and Cnnnda, his heart would
sing with gladness.
