orchards lie in the adjoining state of Virginia only
few hours from Washington. Many of our local Unit
personally visited these orchards last summer
Without single exception they were delighted with
the work we are doing and highly pleased with their
investment. They also found that my estimates of
profit (Which do not exceed $500 were just about
one-haf of what they might reasonably expect judg-

vicinity. AS matter of fact. every one of Unit
owners is an open reference. Perhaps you may be
