should not do as we'll, or better, this
season. There will be more fruit this
summer and fall than there was 12
months ago, possibly enough for home
use. There is quite a sprinkling Of
cherries, grapes, berries and some
varieties of apples.
In this connection it will not be in
appropriate to average up some crops,
of say ten years back. There is not
man on Lincoln Park that has not
made money in fruit growing there
during that period, II he knew his bus
mess. There isn't a fve-acre fruit
ranch on Lincoln Park, II worked to
the limit and in full bearing, that
will not turn of $1,000 to $2.50O
year. A return like that is not to be
sneezed at in any mans country. l
know OF one man that came here with
about $1,000 and engaged In fruit
growing on Lincoln Park and at the
end of six years cashed out with $12,-
900. I have four acres that netted me
three years ago $4,000 above all ex-
penses and the same four acres for
five years in succession brought me a
net revenue varying from $1,000 to
$4,000 year. Some people would like
to buy land like that for $500 an acre,
and don't blame them. 1 would like
to purchase more of it myself at that
figure, and so would most of my
neighbors.
I believe the two hard luck years
we have had here has in reality been
a good thing for us. The codlin moth
has been given such a blow as we
could not have administered to it by
the most careful spraying and the
trees have had a much needed rest.
A tree can not thrive and continually
draw SO heavily on its reserve force AS
ours have done every year until IL
months ago.

now, ready with vitality and reserve
to give US ten good fruit crops In sue
