extent it is now. Approximately 75 acres are planted in fruit

the practice has become more refined. Today’s apples are
graded at intervals of each one-eighth inch of diameter.
The advent of dwarf and semi-dwarf trees brought about a
turning point in the fruit industry in that picking became
easier, and this in turn led to the opening of orchards to the
public. The time was ripe for the “pick-it-yourself” ap

Aside from these industry-wide developments, the An
derson’s Bel-View Farm has been directly involved in ex
perimental work conducted by Penn State University. Some
of the results changed spraying programs for a long time,
claimed Anderson, a recipient of the “Honorary County
Agent Award” in 1968.
The well-known fruit grower has also been active in
clerking public sales and has been a member of the Penn
sylvania State Legislature for the past 16 years.

When the Andersens'
"Bel-View Farm" was
purchased in late 1849, it
was cleared of all
restrictions and reser

and reserving only the
fifth part of all gold and
silver ore, for use by the
Commonwealth...”
About the only "gold”
that’s been found here,
however, are golden
delicious apples.
