Remain unsolvahle and deep;

, MORE FRUIT TREES
NEEDED


fruits should have the effect O.
stimulating larger paintings o.
both home and commercial or
chards throughout North Caro-
lima, is the opinion of the horti
cultural specialist of the NORTH
Carolina Extension Service.
Though a fine fruit State,
North Carolina has never pro-
duced a sufficient amount OF
fruit for local use. 1t is a fact
that numerous farm homes,
both in our lowlands and noun
tains, do not even have the sem.
blance of an orchard, and that
our city and country people alike
are greatly dependent, upon out
side sources for their fruit sup
ply.
North Carolina is not excelled
by any state in the diversity Of
its fruit crops. 1t is possible to
produce choice fruit of one kind
or another from the mountain s
down to the lower mucklands.
Of course, no one locality in
the State is adapted to the COM
mercial production of all the
different kinds of fruit. but every
section may produce at least one
or two. or perhaps more, for
market use, and a much greater
number flor home use. 1t is
simply a question Of selecting
the kinds which are adapted to
the particular section.
In order to assist in the proper
selection of different varieties,
and to eliminate the common
complaint of those who state
that they do not know what to
plant, the Department of Agri-
culture has issued bulletin on
The Home Orchard, (" which
gives the varieties of fruit re.
commended for planting in the
coastal plain. piedmont and
mountain sections. This bulle-
tin also gives the plan Of the
orchard, and the number Of
trees needed for certain acre,
By folliwing the recommendation
outlined, it will be possible for
the home owner to supply fruit
for his table, as we'll as to have
some for the local markets. In
addition, a well kept orchard will
add greatly to the appearance
and STABILITY of any plantation.
Most anyone wishing to buy a
farm will be glad to pay an ad-
"coced price for the land when
it has a well kept orchard. This
bulletin. which was issned in.
Februtry, 1918. is available to
any citizen of North Carolina,
free upon request. as long as
the present supply lasts.
In addition to the bulletin. the
Extension Service has now ad-
ded an Extension Horticulturist,
Mr.. Paul T. Schooley, who is
ready to assist the fruit growers
Of the State on any of their prob
ems.
