Plenty of Fruit. -....
That there will be the biggest fruit
crop this year that the county has
known for a generation Is the gist of
general belief throughout this section.
Just at this time May cherries are in
their glory and there is an abundance
Of them. Every May cherry tree in
every orchard Is laden down with the
fruit and the children and cat
birds seemed to be vying" with each
other in gathering them. The apple,
peach and pear trees are laden with
young fruit, and, barring a destruc-
tive storm or some other unlocked for
disturbance. there should be fruit
world without end" this summer.
The blackberry crop Is also plentiful.
