First, he carefully studied the litera.

orchard growing is mi of the most
highly specialized branches of agri-
culture. and that the government bull
letins were full of valuable informa.
ton for the fruit grower. The line of
least resistance led him to one of the
irrigated districts in the west. What
he has accomplished in three years Is
best told by Mr.. Howell himself.
"I purchased 20 acres of sage brush.

10.acre orchard is considered enough
for one man to care for, but I se-
cured a double portion with the in
tention of selling 10 acres when the
orchard came into bearing condition.
The land was cleared by cutting the
sage brush with q grub hoe, and piling
the brush Tor burning. The cost Of
clearing was three dollars per acre.
