FRUIT GROWING IN
TENNESSEE COULD Be
MADE PROFITABLE
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
NURSERIES GROWING STOCK
IN THE STATE.
ORCHARD SITES ARE MANY
Situation, Soil and Climate Excep-
tionally Adapted to the Growing of
Early Peaches, Apples, Cherries
and Other Fruits.

The fact that Tennessee is well
suited for fruit growing is fast com
ing to be recognized With her suit
able climatic and soil conditions and
quantities of cheap highlands, Ten
nessee is rapidly proving that fruit
growing has rapid future. Her To-
cation from the great distributing
centers, together with the splendid
railroad facilities and the accessible
ty of those parts of the state having
ideal orchard sites are factors hay-
! ing ,far-reaching Importance in the
selection of fruit lands.
: Tennessee has 351 nurseries grow
ing stock to be shipped to all parts
OF the United States and Canada. as
well as to many foreign countries.
An apple tree will grow in two years
to equal or year old tree grown
in the north. This is attributable to
the growing season and the incieas-
ed amount of rainfall.
Comparing two of the fruit states,
Ohio and New York, with Tennessee,
we find a difference of nine to ten
inches of rainfall in favor Of Tennes-
see. In the length of growing days,
a difference of forty to fifty days
more in Tennessee than in the states
mentioned above. Thus it is plain
to see why the farmers and fruit
growers in Tennessee have natural
advantages possessed by few states.
From the state nurseries the orch
ardists can procure his trees fresh
and in vigorous condition, and may,
if he so desires, go directly to the
nursery nd select each tree for the
orchard. This enables him to get
shspely young trees with well form
ed root systems, trees uninjured BY
poor packing and careless handling
while in transit from distant states,
| The sites for orchards in Middle
and East Tennessee are many at
present, but these are fast being taxi
en- up by orchardists from this and
other states. 1t will only be matter
of a few years before her fruit inter
ests will form one of the great assets
of Tennessee.
| The fact that Tennessee is we'll sit
uated and the soil is exceptionally
adapted for the growing Of early ap-
pies, peaches and cherries, as well
as many of the smaller fruits. has
only within recent years been realiz-
! ed, and the growing Of these fruits
is now being rapidly increased BY
setting Of new commercial or chards.
! These orchards are being set and
handled according to modern meth
.ods of planting, cultivating, pruning
and spraying.

Breaks His Arm
Shaking Hands
BREAKS ARM

BREAKS ARM eloimMs aid
William H. Nado of Milbank, had
La very unusual experience last Sat
urday afternoon while shaking hands
with one of his friends at the local
depot. Mr.. Nado had just told a
friend of the birth Of a little girl into
his family circle on the national holi-
day and his friend, wishing to con-
graduate him, gripped his right hand.
Both men are considered powerful
workmen and in shaking hands the
friend gave a peculiar twist to Mr..
Nado's arm. He was not long in feel
ing that his arm had been put out of
commission. A local physician ex-
amined the helpless member and dis
covered that the bone was broken
midway between the wrist and elbow.
The fracture was reduced and the in
Jury is healing IS rapidly as might
be expected.
Mr.. Nado says that he used to think
that his arm could stand almost any
kind Of a wrench and from past ex-
periences while working about ma
chinery and following his trade as a
concrete worker he had begun to
think that his arms and shoulders
were immune to any serious damage
resulting from scufaes with both
heavy weights as well as with men.
He does not carry the same opinion
now, and says that his friend must
have given him the fraternal grip Of
