None can dispute that brains are
necessary for the production of the best
fruit; our climate and soil may be marvel

No branch OF agriculture demands
study and experience to go great an ex-

pests that have entirely destroyed SO
many OF the finest orchards in the east

will continue none can fortell. Intelli-
gence alone can permanently ward of
these destroyers Of fruit and preserve
this Eden OF ours.
The holding of such an institute is
mattel of Importance not alone to the
uninstructed, but as well to the skilled

one to maintain our present freedom

possible the reputation Of Delta county
