Hundreds of people were out driv-
ing yesterday through the various
orchard districts of the valley, and
TO the great majority of those out
driving, the orchards appeared to

get out for a drive or for walk did
so.
As a sort of experiment, j. H..
Sayles and II. II. Younger sprayed
some trees in full bloom on Thurs
day morning to see If it would coun-
teract the danger of frost. Icicles
formed on the limbs in a few mo-
ments and all the buds and most of
the leaves were soon killed. They
won't spray any more trees under
such circumstance Tri-
bune.
The experiences of the past AS
hours have placed Palisade beyond
the pale of further occurrences of
weather freaks during the so-called
nervous PERIOD" when the buds are
forming, and which is now practic-
ally past. Everybody has been busy.
and those who needed help received
it. Now we can get down to bust
ness and prepare for the bumper crop
that now seems reasonably assured.

Friends in this city have received
pretty and unique post cards from
Clint II. Martin, former editor of the

business at Emmett, Idaho, bearing
pictures of well developed apricots
and lovely cherry blossoms. The pic
lures are from photos made in or
chards near Emmett on April 26. The

crop must be assured for that section.
Benton Canon, the founder of the
town of Palisade, says he has always
had great faith in this section of the
Grand valley, and he believes the
next ten years will witness greater
strides in its development than has
the past. He believes the valley will
be filled with fine homes built on
fruit tracts not to exceed seven or
eight acres. and more will be less
than five, where a man will have an
assured income on his investment,
live in land of sunshine and flowers
and have most of the conveniences
of city life.-Palisade Tribune.
