gone back into the treasury of the de-
nomination. The past years gifts TO

FRUIT GROWING ON
A SMALL SCALE FOR
SMALL GARDENS

If You have ground enough for a
fair-sized garden you can grow your
own fruit thereby saving great
MANY dollars a year from your table
expenses.
single peach tree will yield from
80 to $50 quarts of fruit, and good
young apple tree will give from two
to four barrels of fruit.
And fruit trees require so little
care. as compared to vegetables. that
your whole home orchard will not
take many hours work, during the en-
tire year.
Moreover you can grow on your
own trees. just as fine peaches and
apples as you pay five TO fifteen cents
apiece for at the fruit store. since it
is now possible to get'good ready-to-
use sprays Of all kinds. and an eff
foctive hand-power sprayer suitable
for taking care Of few trees. So il
is possible to produce home grown
fruit of the very highest quality; and
often of superior FLAVOR. because
such things as peaches, cherries. and
plums. should ripen on the tree to de-
velop their full sugar content.
But. to get results such as you can
and should expect, you must also do
your part, ESPECIALLY in planting
and in caring for your little trees dur
ing the first season. This will not
take much time; but trees cannot be
stuck in the ground and left to them
selves. Even beans and sweet corn
can't he grown that way
Now, as to just what you viii want
in your garden.
Apples. perhaps. come st-though
if your space is very limited it may
be better to put in only peaches.
plums. and cherries. Don't forget
however. that an apple makes an ideal
SHADE tree; and. in bloom, it is one
of the most beautiful things that the
Creator ever placed on earth. More
over. you can get many of the best
table varieties. growing on DWARF
stocks-that is. the tree will always
remain small. although the fruit is
full sized. But dwarfs require more
attention in the way Of pruning, than
the standard kinds.
If had room for only half dozen
apples-and that is enough TO give a
well-stocked cellar. as well as all that
can be used for dessert or cooking
during late summer and fall would
