Apples are selling in Wayne
county for 75 ceuts per barrel, where
the latter are furnished to the farm
ers. If the fruit is keeping well,
the farmer should be able to get
much better prices a little later on,
or in retailing them from his wagon.
The raiser of apples ought not to
get less than 50 cents per bushel,
