Mr.. Shieser's idea is to make this
the model orchard Of the future for
the community. Its value will be
four-fold, he points QUITO give an
attractiveness and home-like appear
ance to the school, to furnish the prac.
teal side of education for this phase
of the agriculture course, to educate
the community as we'll as the school
in the proper care of orchards, and
to furnish a means of revenue for
the school. The first three values
alone would justify this move and
there is every reason to believe that
with proper care and management an
orchard can be made to pay, even in
this community, the superintendent
says. The Monroe Grange has ar
ranged to meet at the school ground
Friday, April 4, Arbor Day, to plant
shade trees and will assist in the
planting Of this orchard.
