sold about $30,000 worth of apples this season, and Pike County not 

 less than $75,000 to $100,000. The apple crop was much fairer in 

 this county than it has been for some years, owing, we think, to the 

 abundance of rain in the spring, which tended to destroy the cod- 

 ling moth, and, in some cases, to the use of arsenical poisons. This 

 remedy will be used much more extensively next season, as it is 

 thought to be a great success as far as tried.
