spirit of loyalty. cooperation,
and good fellowship which

There are good prospects for
all kinds of fruits and berries,
is the opinion of w. A. Fouts,
one of the most successful
growers in this immediate vi.
entity. Mr.. Fouts states that
the peach trees seem to be in
excellent condition and that
the buds are healthy and plen-
tiful. The cherry trees do not
show up very we'll this year
and the indications are that
there will not be a very heavy
crop. The cherry crop of last
year was immense and the trees
will have a rest this season.
The berry plants and vines
came through the winter in
good condition and it is ex.
pected that the citizens Of this
city will have plenty of the
choicest.
