Beware of fruit tree agents that
have blight proof pear trees and seed
less grapes for sale. AS a rule farmers
should plant only varieties that have
been tried and are well known local
ly for their good qualities. Among
apples there is yet no variety of
greater merit than the winesap. It's
fruit is of high quality and the trees
are very little affected by blight.
There are other varieties of fruit that
have been tested locally and found
worth while. These are the ones that
we should stick to.

R. c. Wilson is putting out sweet
potatoes this year in spite Of the low
returns received last year. A crop
that fits into the farmers system will
pay in the course of several years if
a general average is made. Cotton
was a bad proposition in 1920 but
those who grew it in 1921 made back
part of their losses.
