Apple Orchard Prosperity and Achievements in Daviess County
Daviess county farmers capitalize on fruit culture with Joseph Burton's apple cultivation as a leading example. His twenty five acre orchard, planted in 1837, yielded about $600 in 1995, with winesaps Ben Davises Grimes Golden and a cross between Grimes Golden and Janet under development to combine flavor and storage. Burton advocates horticulture for southern Indiana and promoted apple growing through the state. An Indiana Masonic lodge election is noted for December 20, 1902 at 7:30 PM to select officers for the coming year.
