Col. J. G. Clark is an enthusiast
over Wisconsin fruit and Is Of the
opinion that large quantity of fruit
that is not raised in this section of
the country could be by proper prop
agation. He brought to this office
Monday sample OF peaches raised in
his doorvard that surpass in size and
flavor anv we have seen this season
and there's been some pretty fine
fruit shipped in here too. From two
trees the colonel picked p bushels
and he intends to 90 into the business
on a more extensive scale next sea-
son. Farmers having a north side
hill should experiment with few
peach trees OF course. one, two,
three or four wears may be required
to attain any results. but Col. Clark
is confident that Grant county farm
ers aud fruit raisers can rear more |
peaches than can be used at home
He is willing to advance any informa-
ton he possesses upon the subject
and has in the neighborhood Of fifty
Deach trees he will Give 10 the right |
