That nature does her best 10 right
failures Is demonstrated at the Allen

Rodgers Corner, and tenanted by
b. y. Sillitoe. Apple trees OF the
Maiden Blush variety have not only
blossomed for the second time this
season. but have produced apples,
some OF which measure an inch in
diameter. As the first crop Of ap-
pies were scarce, nature Is trying
to right the wrong by producing a
second crop.
It is not unusual for an apple
or pear tree to blossom twice during
single season. but IL is unusual
for them TO bear fruit twice. Mr..
Sillitoe says he has number OF pear
trees that are now in bloom, for the
second time this season.
