An Apple Blossom Festi-val stag ed amid the grandeur of ap]^ blossoms on the Brushies was as^ gested today in a statemei^ tssaed for publication by Andrew H. Casey, prominent local attorney. Terming the apple industry Wilkes county’s greatest money producer, Mr. Casey pointed ent that fruit growers of Wilkes re ceived approximately $3,000/100 for their apples in the past ten years. 'There are 760,000 apple trees bearing fruit with an annual pro duction of more than 300,000 bush els, he said. In view of the fact that many sections stage apple blossom festi vals. Mr. Cas«-y expressed the ' opinion that such an event for Wilkes would be excellent advertis ing, and profitable to the fruit growers and citizens generally. Mr. Casey’s statement follows: “Th's is the time of year when many sections of the country are having ‘Peach Blossom Festivals,' ‘Cherry Blossom Festivals’ and spring blossom festivals. Almoet every year in the northern part of Virginia they have an ‘Apple Blos som Festival’ at which time they crown some beautiful maiden as ‘Queen of Apple Blossoms’ and Georgia holds it ‘Peach Blossom Festival.’ The newspapers of the country give these festivals a great deal of publicity and yon hear more said about them and the beautiful orchards of fine fruits grown in the different sections of the country than at any time dpr* ing the remainder of the year. “Here in Wilkes county we pro duce the finest flavored fruits to be found anywhere in the United States. The soil, the altitude and the climatic conditions give the fruit growers of Wilkes county a decided ad;vantage over any other section of the country. JV’e hare in Wilkes county alone more than 700.000 apple trees bearing fruit. We produce annually more than 300.000 bushels of apples and over. a period of ten years the fruit growers of Wilkes county have re ceived an average of $1.00 . per bushel for their apples. These Wilkes fruit growers have received during the past ten years more than $3,000,000 for their apple crop alone; and yet, we have only begun to scratch the surface so far as ^obta^ing our possibilitiee. We are not producing more than one-twentieth of the amount that we might produce. We have great possibilities for more and larger orchards which would mean more homes and happier homeSf , more Sr - Q ThtMnasriUe Wins _ (3 ThomasviUe high schqoir rep resenting the affirmative; side of the qnery that the United States should adopt the essentlat fea- JWM of the British system of yadio control and 'Operation; won the state championship anj^thw Jtycotdt Memorial cup Hill Friday evening.
