COMMITTEE REPORTS
Orchards: Your committee on orchards
hardly knows what to say as to conditions of
orchards as conditions vary so much in the
different localities Since the frost so far as
apples pears and cherries at my place are con-
cerned the prospect is fair or Won might say
good, as YOU can see by the branches on exhi-
biton If nothing further comes over the
fruit think we will still have fair crop of
apples, pears and cherries. J. f. Roth.
Mr.. McGregor read from Cleveland paper
report from several fruit growers estimating
the loss to the grape crop in Euclid township
and districts near the lake at less than five per
cent.
This report includes an acreage Of grapes
amounting to nearly 1000 acres
Strawberries and ground vegetables are badly
damaged in the districts surrounding Cleve-
land and in many instances totally destroyed.
Mr.; Mctiegor also read an article recon-
mending piling mounds of earth around the
base of peach trees to keep them healthy.
