FRUIT GROWING OF BENEFIT
Knowledge Used by General Farmer
Is Also Required for Growing
of Various Crops.

Fruit growing is often spoken of IA
being the refinement" of agriculture.
1t has long been claimed that it re-
quires more knowledge, more care and
more skill in general than ordinary
farming, such as the growing of crops.
But where is the horticulturist or
fruit grower for home use only who
is not also 4 good general farmer? 1t
seems that fruit growing is of benefit
to the general farmer for the knowl-
edge he uses is also required for crop
growing.
Boys and girls usually take an in
terest in fruit growing and will learn
if encouraged There seems to be
something fascinating about growing
good fruits. And every farmer who
has an abundance finds that this is
largely responsible for the pride and
the satisfaction the children take in
the farm and its environment.

The most stable crop of the 13 is

The weed problem as it relates TO

as weeds are not only unsightly but
they also occupy land that should be

forage. This is why it pays the farmer
to battle the weeds as insistently as

farmers keep a moving machine run

summer with very satisfactory results.
