Apple orchard thrives on river bottom lands near Quincy
James Jarrett of Quincy planted 75 acres of apple trees on river bottom land eight miles west of the city. He built 3 to 5 foot ridges to prevent floodwater from reaching the trees, and the orchard shows good health with deep red and bright fruit. Visitors from the Mississippi Valley Apple Growers Association praised the trees and noting varieties like Grimes Golden and Ben Davis. A drainage ditch project with neighboring farmers would improve overflow issues, and soil contains iron with wood ashes supplementing potash. Lanza bought the crop, while Jarrett and neighbors plan continued orchard development.
