		Washington apples are generally considered of higher quality than their foreign competitors.
		Jim McFerson, manager of the Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission, points out that the vast majority of fruit growers are still using costly and wasteful blanket applications of water, fertilizers, and pesticides in their orchards.

		Schwartz contrasts Washington's character and behavior with those of contemporary politicians, and concludes that "George Washington remains a prominent object of commemoration because the values he stood for in the late eighteenth century remain central to the political culture of the late twentieth century.
