Professor Northrop just returned
from one Of these investigation trips
Thursday and brings back the news
that fruit culture IL gradually on the
decline In sections where fruit has
been the leading industry. As this
condition 10 growing worse and worse
In the east, the professor says the
fruit industry In the west Is cores
pondingly improving.
He Is Of the opinion that within a
very few years the west will be looked
to for the furnishing Of all the fruit
for the larger markets. At present
considerable Of the western produce
can be found on eastern markets while
eastern sections are unable to meet
the demand Of even the smalle. sized
cities.
This condition 10 brought about by
. lack.of interest In this particular
line Of agriculture.
This prevailing condition Of affairs
coming from such good authority
should give new courage and hope to
