In New London County. Connecticut. In
1913. An old apple orchard graced-
or more properly speaking. disgraced
the place. for II bore no apples and
paid no rent for the land occupied.
In the fall OF 1913 he pruned the
trees. but they bore no fruit In 1914.
In October. 1914. Mr.. Fitzhugh de-
cided II was time for a shake-up. and
what was more fitting to use for the
shake-up than dynamiteg
-Four holes were made twenty
four inches deep and six feet away
from the trunk Of each tree. Then the
holes were loaded with a small charge

"In 1915 the trees bore a crop Of
extra fine fruit, and present prospects
