Emmett Leads Palisades

Palisades is>located in the heart
of the peach section of Colorado,
and peaches bearing the Palisades
brand are as noted as Hood River
apples. A few fruit growers in
that section collected a crate of the
best peaches they could find and
sent them to Emmett as samples.
They were fine peaches, all right
large Albertas that fairly made
one's mouth wafer and would
doubtless have been considered top
notchers at any other place except
Emmett In order to compare the
peaches from Palisades and En-
NETT, DR. Reynolds picked bas-
ket of Albertas from tree in his
garden, and Perry Spratt, himself
q Palisades peach grower until re-
Gently. and c. P. Hartley. the well
known Emmett nurseryman. were
called in as judges. The unani
nous opinion was that the Emmett
peaches were not only superior in
size and color, but also in flavor.
In this connection, it should be
remembered that the Palisades
people make business of grow
ing peaches. Their trees are care
fully pruned and only certair1
amount of fruit is allowed to ri
pei on each tree. The tree, from
which the Emmett peaches were
picked has probably never been
pruned since it was planted, and no
attempt was made to thin the fruit. /.
Nor were the REYNOLDS peaches as O
good as can be found here. There
are numerous orchards that can
furnish better. The above is not
written in disparageinent of the |
Palisades country, but simpy to
show that this section of the Pay
cite valley has no equal in the pro-
duction of the best peaches in the
world. Five years hence, Emmett
will be the largest shipper of pea
ches in the West and Emmett pea
ches will be the standard in size,
color and favor. More than that,
with record of never having had
crop failure in 27 years. it is fair
to presume that the chance of fail ,
ure in the future is very slim.

The young peach orchard of c.

pretty a sight as one will see any
where. There are $50 trees and
so carefully and scientifically have
they been pruned that each tree is
mate for its companion. The
entire orchard has been kept close
to the ground, the average height
being 10 feet. The average width
of the branches is also 10 feet.
The trees will bear next year.

attack And now he had lost hold of
himself I saw for the first time that
Drewit's was a weak face, had always
been a weak face, but that I had been
deceived because it was plastic to good

He must have known his eyes be-

he kept them shifting even when he

ferred to be with strangers. Norlfng

eyes sought mine from time to time
sympathetically. as Drewit kept one
of the Chinese walters almost exclu-

ically, without a vince.
Later in the evening he came over to
