EDITOR CHEF. DEAR SIR: In as
much as there is now a large acreage Of
fruit trees planted on the orchard plan,
and enough SO that the people will in
the near future be blessed with the
delicious fruits produced on these Or
chards and the owners made rich by
their proceeds, yet there is a faction
who, as a rule, could not get al orch.
ard m the above named plan, whose
children no doubt 20 hungry for fruit,
and who find fault with the orchard
system. Now, l want to say that all
that | have done has been to the in
terest Of the country at large, as
every one knows; that my comission is
very little, $3.50 on one thousand trees,
/ want to ask the following questions:
How Hong would it have taken to get
one hundred thousand trees planted
in Webster county if the people would
have had to pay cash for them? There
is more than that number now planted
on the orchard system in the county.
My anwer is, at least a half a century.
How many young men and women UNI
der 20 years of age, grown up in this
country, have had all the fruit they
could eat? My answer is, not one
now. | have seen the day, and all
tho fore part of my life, when l had
all the fruit just as ] wanted it, in its
season. So then, in short, the young
people in this country, those that
have grown up here, know but little
about the pleasures of this life
Now, don't fail to see me and get an
orchard. | will not hunt them; they
must hunt me. If this fails to lodge
in the waste basket, | would b'
pleased to give a few lines regardin,
fruit culture in the next few issues
