Egypt’s Apple Boom in Southern Illinois South Counties
A Flora-Democrat correspondent outlines Southern Illinois Egypt as a budding apple belt. Pioneers like Thomas H. Lowrey planted thriving orchards since 1866, with 1.5 million trees across Clay and adjacent counties. High returns from bearing trees, cheap land, and rising orchard plantings drive a regional transformation toward evaporated fruit and export sales to St. Louis, Chicago, and beyond.
