United State*’ Apple Cart ;
Filled 1^* Brim This Year
Washington — If the United i States’ apple cart were upset ; this year, 14 billion apples ] would roll out. Despite a summer-long i drought which cut down the : size of apples growing in or- i chards of the central Appalachians, a nationwide harvest of 141.2 million bushels 1 is expected by the Agriculture ] Department. This is 13 percent greater than the 1963 crop, Americans will use most of 1 this fruit, for few apples are exported, the National Geographic Society says. The apple can make good claim to ! being the all-American fruit. It grows in nearly every state. More apples -- and apple 1 pies — are produced in the United States than in any other country. Foreign growers favor American varieties.
