his name to our mammoth list. In
travel1og eleven miles on one of our
main thoroughfares leading into
Butler We only found three individ
uals who were not subscribers to

that the route is now finished"

Bates county has some of the fin 8
est fruit land in the state. South of
Butler for ten miles more desirable
land for fruit raising cannot be
found This land is composed prin-

from a snow white to a dark red,
just the ideal soil for peaches. pears
and cherries. However, it is Ia
inevitable fact that few orchards are
noticeable. The prevailing idea,
seems to be that fruit does not pay
and that Ba es county soil will not
produce frnik in having Quantities
and quality. A few pear orchards in
this district would soon explode this
erroneous idea
We tried to get Bill Yeates 10 sub.
scribe but he was so SCOT IN his ways
and firmly refused He made it al
right with us, however. by directing
us TO his watermelon patch. Bill
and his watermelons are good fell
lows and we will probably call on
him again before the c1ld spell sets
in.
