Keep the peach trees interested in

ard, connected with the agricultural
department of Missouri, "by cultivat-
ing them around their roots, so as
not to allow them to go to sleep too
soon. and then they will wake up later
in the spring, after danger of frost
is past, and, there will be little danger
of crop failure" Which suggests
that perhaps this advice is also appli-
cable to all states.
