Discuss Important Topics.

To Meet in Deadwood NeNt saturday u
Discuss Important Topics.
The STAR is in receipt of the follow
ing enthusiastic letter from Capt. q.
V. Gardner:
1.-THE enclosed circular will explain
itself. Can you publish this and give
red-hot editorial on the subject OF
fruit, especially apple growing, as your
county and Custer are declared to be
the two banner fruit growing counties
of the Hills, especially for apples, the
king fruit. No less an authority than
President Cook, of our state normal,
says So Don't fail to come up and
bring your wife and every member OF
your commercial club. Wemea busi-
ness and don't propose to be backward
in demanding that you help push the
car of progress-if you can't grab the
tongue.
See that Wilson comes without fail
with speech, short, snappy and elo-
quent."
Following is the circular referred
to:
"Apples, pears, plums, cherries,
strawberries, curra nts-the best vari-
ties, how to plant and to cultivate
successfully, will be discussed by the
most practical fruit growers in the
Black Hills, at City Hall, Deadwood,
Saturday April 14th, at p. m. and s p.

Fruit growers and farmers, their
wives and daughters. and all business
men Interested i'm the prosperity OF the
Hills are earnestly invited to attend.

sented to preside over the meetings.

Let all come and learn how to add
to the wealth of our farms and gardens
as we'll as to the luxury and beauty OF
our homes.
Round trip rates at one fair and Il
third from all points.
By ORDER OF THE COMMITTEE"
The STAR very cheerfnlly and gladly
lends its space and what it may be
able to do toward forwarding the
movement that Capt. Gardner has set
going. 1t is the right thing. Fall
River county, as he says, is recognized
as one of the banner counties, and
fruit growing as yet has scarcely been
started. But it has been demonstrat
ed that the business may be made &
success. Therefore the movement fol
organization among the fruit growers
isa good thing. Organization is always
good, in any line of work. and now a,
the very threshold of greater develop
ment in fruit growing in the Hills it
is an opportune time for the fruit
growers to get together and discuss
their work and organize for it's better
ment and development.
