Apples at Sunnyside Washington Car to Spokane Show
Sawyer Land Co foreman Z Newby says less than one half of 1 percent of Sunnyside apples will be wormy this year due to thorough spraying and thinning. Spitzenbergs and Grimes Golden orchards are excellent and Jonathans and Rome Early yield well. Company plans to send a car of Spitzenbergs and Grimes Golden to the Spokane Apple Show, arguing that a diseased Rogue River car won the last show and presenting affidavits to support the claim.

An expert from Crimea brought six tons of apples to London to win favor with the English, but the sale price was low.
