Fruit Growers Debate Augusta County Role in Apple Industry
L. W. Wilson, secretary of the Virginia Fruit Growers Inc., urged Augusta County growers to support their industry and linkage to Frederick County’s success. He cited Frederick totals: eight million invested in orchards, 2.5 million in storage, 300 thousand in equipment, and a 580 thousand payroll, noting Winchester backs apples and Frederick is the “big guy.” Wilson warned Augusta’s three million invested lacks storage and organization, while few members attend meetings. A committee was named to present to the county supervisors and advocate a two mile limit near the five districts.

Committee to boost organization and seek fruit plant in Staunton
A boosting committee will be named by the chairman to energize the organization and form sub committees in each magisterial district. A committee was appointed to press the National Fruit Produce Company of Winchester and Alexandria to establish a plant near Staunton, which locals see as a better distributing point. The recent frost is seen as a temporary blow to orchards in the Valley, with King David apples faring best though trees are scarce in Augusta.
