FRUIT ALL KILLED

In conversation recently with fruit
man, he made the remark that the
fruit was all killed in this part Of the
country, but not through the sever
ity of the winter, as some believe. He
stated that the fruit was not killed
in the winter months, but in the fall.
He maintained that a dry fall prevent
ed the trees from gaining their
nourishment and hence no preparation
could be made by the trees for a
spring crop. He drew an inference
like this: The year following heavy
fruit crop there is always little or no
fruit in the country, because the
trees could not regain their nOurish-
ment after the heavy crop to produce
another crop next year.
If this argument is correct, there
will be no fruit this year in the sec
tions of country where it was dry last
fall.

LET US RESUME

Now that the war is over, building
operations Of all kinds should be re-
sumed. We are now in the lap OF
spring when everything should have
hum and a buzz that will spell some
thing for Baxter.
One Of the first things that should
be resumed is the completion Of ce-
ment walks. In some parts Of the
town good buildings have been put up
and are being rented. The cement
walks were never finished to these
houses owing to the government cur
failing building operations during
the war. Two to three blocks would
connect these buildings with other
sidewalks. II is most inconvenient
during muddy weather to get in or
or out from these residences.
In the language of John Sherman,
who said when the resumption Of
specie payment was up for Considera-
tion-"The way to resume, is to re-
sume."
