FANCY FRUIT PAYS.

THIS is THE OPINION OF ONE
SOUTHERN PINES GROWER
WHO HAS TRIED IT AND
MADE MONEY.
Edgeview Farm, owned and
managed by John Huttenhauer, is
generally conceded to be the best
example in Southern Pines Of what
can be done in the fruit growing
industry on small acreage, To
demonstrate the fairness of this
statement it is only necessary to
quote few figures. This farm
consists Of IA acres. 1t produced
this year: 1900 Is lb. grape
baskets, Cor Georgia peach baskets,)
of peaches, which brought from Is
cents to one dollar per basket; IS
four basket carriers Of peaches,
which sold tor from $3.50 to $1.75
per carrier; ISL regular six-basket
crates Of peaches, which sold from
$1.25 to $3.50 per crate; and 200
crates of Delaware grapes, which
sold $3.50 $3.50 per crate; the net
earnings of this IA acres for this
season, over and above all ex-
penses. amounted to over $500, or,
81 and II dollars per acre. Last
year this same farm earned, over
and above all expenses, $1,000
net, or II and 81 dollars per acre.
This orchard and vineyard was
set out just 8 years ago. In it
are 1000 Delaware grape vines
and 1900 peach trees in bearing.
This fall Mr.. Huttenhaur says he
will put out 1900 trees of Elberta
peaches, gradually having them
take the place Of Sneeds and one
or two other varieties; and also
about 1900 vines of Delaware
grapes. This planting, when it
comes in bearing, will almost
double the output of the farm.
Asked if he believed that fruit |
raising was paying industry here,
Mr.. Huttenhauer said eyes, indeed. |
| have made money on this place
every year since the fruit came in
bearing, have had four good crops
in five years. All my fancy
peaches this season, when they
arrived in good condition sold at
a figure that averaged little over
2 cents apiece" On this point Mr..
Huttenhauer was emphatic, and
continuing, made the following
complaint: "But bad handling by
the express companies, particular
ly in loading on this end, has
caused good many to arrive in
bad condition and [ did not make
