“Still Picking in Cherry Orchards” from the August 26, 1932 Door County Advocate
Still Picking in Cherry Orchards
People are still coming to Sturgeon Bay to pick cherries. The Martin orchard has a number of people in its orchard each day, and yesterday was the 52nd day that cherries had been sold on the trees to pickers.
The Green Bay reformatory, which has a home canning plant, put up 2,500 gallon cans of cherries which were picked in Door county orchards by the inmates. Previous to this year no cherries had been used at the reformatory.
Apples are now being used in the same way. This week 100 bushels of Dutchess apples were picked by the reformatory inmates in one of Door county’s large orchards.
