But il orchards are being cut down

believed that now is good time to
stick tight to your own orchard, and
to give it better care than ever? Is
anything worth while in this world

Many difficulties confront the orch

tThe Fruit-Grower. St. Joseph.
''Hindsight is better than fore
sight" says an old proverb. And
how true it is. Usually, after an
event has taken place, we are able
to see how our own affairs could have
been improved If we had acted in
some other way. We plant an orch
ard and frost takes the fruit. Then
we realize that IL we had provided
orchard heaters the fruit would have
been saved and our profit increased.
But there is no use in crying over
spilled milk. notwithstanding the
fact that a fellow sometimes can't
help doing so. And when fellow

no matter whether it is fruit-growing,
mining, merchandising or specula-

say that it would be unsafe to bring
them back TO the county at this time,
