Attention to Fruit Growing.
OF late years there has been very lit
tie attention to fruit growing In York
county Up to twenty or thirtv years
back fine fruit, especially peaches, Of
the old fashioned sort were quite
common: but since then fruit raising
has been a very precarious business.
Just why fruit was more successful
under former conditions, II such was
really the case, would be for the ex-
perts to say. There are many more
or less plausible theories that could be
advanced. But, however, this may be,
1t Is certain that modern nursery fruit
has not been giving very satisfactory
results. The trees have yielded very
good crops for a while, but the trees
have been short-lived. However, there
has been a revival Of interest within
the past year. Prof. L. A. Niven Of
Winthrop has thrown out a number Of
practical suggestions that have receiv-
ed more or less attention, and in a
conversation with Mr.. B. M. Faris Of
Gold Hill not long ago, the reporter
learned from that gentleman that the
farmers Of his neighborhood had an
expert orchardist from Clemson to
spend some DAYS with them last spring.
The expert did a good deal Of demon
stration work and astonished the fruit
tree owners by trimming the trees un-
til 1t looked as II they would be ruined.
But according to Mr.. Faris, good re-
suits are already noticeable and the
probability Is that from now on Gold
Hill farmers will give more attention
to fruit raising than ever before.
