Sewer a Fruit County.

Richfield Advocate: Among our hor-
ticulturists it is fast coming to be re-
allied that Sewer is a county of mag
nificent fruit possibilities. Her climate,
soil and irrigation are all we'll adapted
to the growth and yield of all but trop-
zeal fruit trees. Last spring 10000
budded and grated trees were planted
and a wonderful percentage of them
are thriving. Half We're prrnes, and
that is more than were ever planted
in Sewer before. Last year Monroe
raised 1900 bushels of peaches. Rich
field had 10000 bushels of appels and
the county $4,000 bushels. Ten tons of
fine grapes ripened in the vineyards Of
Glenwood and Monroe. In the county
grew $500 bushels of plums and hun
dreds of tons of cherries, apricots, pears
and all kinds of small fruits. Next
spring orchardists of Sewer win set out
about 1000 apple trees, mostly Ben
Davis, and possibly the end of the year
may see arrangements completed for
a drying process to. save the big sur
plus that went to waste last year.
