Valley Pike Prosperity And Orchard Boom In Virginia
The Shenandoah Valley's Frederick County thrives on the valley turnpike with three fifths state ownership and two private stockholders managing the road. Farmers pay five dollars yearly and motorists five cents a mile with twenty toll gates, Apple production soars with Winchester shipping more apples than Oregon in 1911 and Frederick County building a modern co op bureau led by C E Koontz to improve breeding, hogs, poultry, and corn. The area attracts new orchards, silos, and storage plants while absentee landlords decline as land values rise and locals return to manage farms directly.
