WILLIAM TURNER HAS ANOTH-

William Turner has picked some
thing over 10000 boxes of apples

he will have about 1000 more yet

eighteen acres, only fourteen ac.'"s
Of which are in full bearing, how
ever Mr.. Turner had very heavy
yield in his orchard last year, but
his trees are heavier ladened this
yeas than they were last year.
The new Turner home is almost
ready for occupancy. The fors are
being laid and then only the paint

this week There are thirty acres
in the place, but the remarkable
crop of apples came from the II
acres of apple trees. Most of the
trees are ten or twelve years old, and
a little over 10000 boxes were
picked from this 12-acre tract
There were several thousand boxes
of Jonathan apples on the place, but

trees.
! Neither Mr.. Lanham nor the les
sees of the place are willing to quote
the prices received for the Ben Davis
apples, but they are satisfied with
the yield and the price, nnd Mr..
/ Lanham thinks that if he was again
going to plant an orchard he would
have a big proportion of the orchard
! in Ben Davis trees.
/, Besides the apples there is a B.
year-old peach orchard of about ten
boxes of peaches were picked.
Messrs Hardman & Manning have
a lease on this same place for anoth-
