Mr.. T. Odcm had small display. one
of the most interesting features being
his seedlcss white grapes. Mr.. Odem
had his leg broken two months ago and
is only able to be about on crutches.
Everything is rush and hustle at his big
place and the rapidly ripening fruit
was crowding them so that they did not
have time to make careful selection,
much as it was their desire to do so.
Mr.. Odcm is working from thirty to
fifty hands and says they are unable to
take care of the peaches even with this
large force.
