Fruit Harvest
Begins in Rappk.
Fruit harvest has begun in Rappahannqck. Peaches are being picked along with a few varieties of early apples. Though the apple crop over the nation is heavy, the Rappahannock crop is light, so say most local orchardists. Migratory laborers are arriving in the county to help with the harvest. Labor camps are being established and in-, spected by health authorities who must issue permits for them. Supplies and fuel are being laid by for the camps. There is much preparation necessary for the harvest of the fruit crops; While most orchardists report a normal yield of peaches, T. M. Johnston of Washington has a bumper crop of Amber Gems in his thirty-acre orchard at Whip-Poor-Will Farm near Washington. The fruit clings to the boughs in bunches and weights them to the ground often breaking limbs. He expects to harvest almost double the normal yield. These peaches are a cling stone variety and make excellent canners. Mr. Johnston’s crop was purchased by Gerbers Baby Food Co. and the peaches are being shipped to Asheville, N. C. where they will be processed.
