The Apple Seedling Situation 
The extreme dry weather this season which has broken all records 
in the past twenty-seven years has almost conquered in the fight with 
the Apple Seedling growers. But by excessive cultivation we have 
managed to save a few fields that will make one-third of a stand, but 
there are many a crest that will not pay to dig. Three months with 
no rain! Nineteen consecutive days above one hundred degrees. We are 
still in. the ring, but are being crowded very close to the edge.
