People who have been making an
examination of their fruit trees find
some good things to report. They
say there are plenty of buds on the
peach trees and also on the pears.
The indications right now are for
fair to good crop and they say this
from observation in spite of the re-
ports from some places to the con-
trary. The present weather is re-
garded as life-saver for these same
buds as the cool weaver is retarding
their development until after the
danger of frost is past. There has
not been good peach crop for some
time although the pears seem more
hardy and have given pretty good
account of themselves in production.
