Hill, l5-year-old boy, met horrible
death here at one of the large mills.

the machinery could be stopped he
had gone around with the shaft thou
sands of times. Practically every bone

BIG ORCHARD FOR
FAULKNER COUNTY
TO HAVE OYER 200 ACRES
SITUATED NEAR CATO IN
SOUTHERN PART OF FAULK-
NER COUNTY.

Prof. T. J. Bullion, one of our
prominent educators who is teaching
near Cato, writes an interesting ac-
count of an orchard recently planted
ing. 1t seems that the people have
gone at the work in a business-like
manner, and we predict success for
this enterprise. There are hundreds
of acres of cut-over and hill land in
Faulkner county that would make
splendid fruit farms. All that is nee
essary is capital and energy to de-
velope them Mr. Bullons article is
as follows:
Editor Log Cabin Democrat
1t might interest some of your read
ers to know that we have large or
chard on the hill south of the Wilson
Hill. The reason they chose this hill
is that sometime in the past there has
been disturbance in the earth-not
violent, but just enough to put the
rock on edge 50 that the water circu-
lates through the earth better, and the
roots Of the trees can get better hold,
and the drouth will not be so hurtful.
The company has 73 acres now plant
ed, as follows: Twenty eight hundred
of the best European and American
vines that money can buy so many
getting ripe each month from June to
September; 2,200 apple trees, princi-
pally Of winter varieties; 1900 peach
trees, so many ripening each month
from May to October; 300 plum trees
ripening from June to September; 200
crabapple, 100 apricot and $50 cherry
trees.
The company is making its ar
rangements to clear up and set 100
acres more. The company, together
with neighbors, has made an automo-
bile road from the Mt. Vernon road
up to the fruit farm, and the farmers
have chopped out the north end of the
road to intersect the Beryl road near
Ingleside. Now, if the road commits
sioner and the county judge can see
their way clear to finish that part of
the road, we would soon have a good
road to Conway.
