Gennessee county, 5000 " /"
East of Wayne county but small amount
of fruit is grown. Now for this very
extraordinary yield of fruit in this
special locality, my theory without
going into philosophical detail is
simply that the open lakes being shall
low furnish large amount of ice which
flows out by the Niagara River by de-
preston of some $50 feet into
Lake Ontario, a large body of water OF
unknown depth, and which is never
frozen, and by the drift or currents, this
body of ice is drifted on to the south shore
of the lake and then is held, as is evil
denced by the fact that the body of Nor
gan, which, as alleged, was sunk in the
Niaraga River, floated out and was found
by ThurlOW Weed at or near the mouth of
Oak Orchard Creek in Orleans county.
This is matter of history and must be
satisfactory as against any question of
philosophy. If the dead body of Morgan
flOated there the ice would. Now the
presence of SO vast body of ice in
the immediate locality keeps back
vegetation and prevents the germ of
the fruits being injured by the early frOsts
consequently fruit growing in Western
New York is as sure crop as corn in East
Tennessee
Now / maintain that if our people will
make orchards on the locations the most
productive of same results. we can have
good fruit country-and have it annual
ly.
4 substantial and reliable farmer in this
county (and that is the only kind we have
in MOnroe) told me on his farm on Island
Creek. he had fruit tree on the north side
of a hill, and on an upper table which had
rarely failed to yield fruit every year for
thirty years, and wished me to enter into
an arrangement with him to furnish the
trees from Rochester, to plant an orchard
as a speculation. If / was a younger man
l would Ego for him." You find all
over East Tennessee similar facts, where
fruit trees have the north hillside location
and the proper elevation. The philosophy
is practical, and is well known to all care
full seekers after the science, and is the
principal, if not sufficient argument for
substantial and progressive farmers to
identify themselves actively i'll the efforts
to disseminate agricultural information by
societies, clubs. fairs and conven tiOns.
After all the shipments from Niagara
county, of $50, 900 barrels, there is now held
by the farmers, in their cellars, 10000 bar
rels of apples, worth say 3 per borrel.
Now in the city of Knoxville to-day ap-
pies are being sold from New York at 40
cents per dozen or 81 buShel. Having the
finer climate, having the same influences of
Western New York by hunting the north
hill side and elevation, are we not sLOeC-or
the arbiters in our own wrong by striking
the South Side" of our hills We, in
Monroe, are taking new departure and
have Messrs. Gaines & Ward to furnish us
the right kind of trees. 1t is very desir-
able, II this premise is true, that We all
lnaugurate system of eXperiments-the
cost Is small, the result vastly important.
