G. H. Weed in writing to the Char.
ter Oak Times tells something about
Mr.. Ben King, formerly Of Hays
township, who now lives az Covina,
Cal. He says Mr.. King has 4O-acre
J grove of oranges as fine as ever grew.
He has been there eleven years and
has made great success. He says
it is no more work to attend to q 40
Ncre orange grove than it is to work
that much corn. except perhaps the
picking and fumigating which is done
by Japs. Said he never trimmed his
trees-just kept out the deadwood.
Mr.. King said his 4O-acres Of oranges
nets him $22, 600 q year. and it ia
worth another thousand just to see
the oranges growing. The trees
are set about Is feet apart in rows
Is feet apart. A shovel pillow is
used and he goes right down the
middle of the rows and makes furrow.
and let's the water into these rows.
