Fruit Growing Is Profitable.

We observe a disposition on the part
of some agricultural journals to dis
courage fruit growing. especially
planting apple orchards by farmers.
From II point of view this may be
right. It will not pay to plant fruit OF
any kind unless you give it continuous
and intelligent are. Very often an
orchard is planted. then left to shift
for itself. in the expectation that it
will come to profitable maturity.
There could be no more mistaken
idea. Orchards of any sort, carefully
looked after, protected against insect
enemies. arc pretty sure to be a good
investment. One point is perfectly OBJ
vious to all, that is, orchards add to
the value Of farms which contain them.
