IT CAN BE DONE. Skeptics who claim the choice, juicy apples can't be grown with any degree of success in Portage and district should have a talk with Tony Spilchuck above. Tony's farm seven miles southwest of Portage, produces apples like these every summer. This year his fruit in the Provincial Fruit Show at Portage was awarded four firsts, six seconds and a third. He has countless varieties in his orchard. many of them from expert grafts. Despite his 70 years, Tony claims that he can "out-pick" and young man when it comes to harvesting his apple crop.
