N. F. Olsen of the Olsen r oyce
company came up from the Parker
ranch Saturday morning, bringing
, with him several limbs cut from peach
trees on which was a liberal sprink-
ling of young fruit. 1.-The report
that there will be no peaches in the
Parker district is erroneous" said Mr.
| Olsen, while there will not be a full
crop there will nevertheless be g
! number of growers that will harvest
! fair crop. We are cutting our
peaches back pretty well this season
because We believe 1t will be better
for the trees another season. hence
we are not anticipating any peaches
this year However we are going to
have bumper crop of prunes and 6
full crop of apples, especially of the
Spitzenbers, Winesap and Jonathan
| varieties"
