The fact that go few engage in rails
ing fruit to the exclusion of all other
occupations; AID the fact that
throughout this state almost every
other occupation is associated with
fruit raising. leads US 20 draw at least
two conclusion |. That there
must be a god cause tor so doing, or
it would not be so universally prac-
ticed, and 2, that if some . her occu-
| patton is 10 be associated with fruit
! growing, only such should be chosen,
as while developing ana after they
are dev' loped, can be continued sue
cesstuly with fruit growing and
should prove helpful to the same. OF
course, different locations and differ
ent men would reach different results;
and everyone must study his sur
roundings, and his own iuclina ions,
which are large ly the guide to the So
luton of the question. Whit shall
l associate with fruit growing that |
NAV safely bridge over the years Of
want which me before the fruitage,
and the years of failure that come
afterwards for these two unhappy
conditions must be provided for.
So it is not a new question after all
that we are taking up, but it has pre-
scented itself for solution thousands of
times, and as often has it been rightly
or wrongly answered.
And although ! understand that it
is ? new departure for this ciyty to
discuss this phase Of things, yet l do
rot think ii should be entirely over
looked. for these discussions may ShOS
us how happy combinations may be
made which will lead to more profit.
In settling this question for myself,
| have associated with fruit growing
the gentle Jersey COW, and this paper
is designed to show wherein fruit
growing and the dairy have points of
common interest, and why they may
be developed together.

With me, trade Of this kind is |

Being constant and regular in the

upon you for fruit, and the one is help

| turn now to notice some of the
advantages Of the dairy l. to fruit
and 2. to the fruit grower.
