Many Trees to be Planted.

Indications are that Emmett is to
lose her prestige as a grower OF
peaches and to become the sweet
cherry and prune section of the North
west. Many trees are being planted
this spring and most of them will be
either sweet cherry or prune. The
reason for the change is that peaches
are not SO profitable as either cherries
or prunes. The sweet cherries grown
in the Emmett section, like the prunes
have no superior in the world and pos
sess excellent shipping qualities. Sew
eral large tracts, besides many small
ones, will be set out to cherries and
prunes this spring.

Next week is cleanup week and
every resident of Emmett is urged to
do his part in making the city spot
less. Remove all accumulation of re-

back yards, have your old tin cans
and ash piles removed; paint your
buildings if needed and plant trees
and shrubbery. In short, make EN-
NETT beautiful. 1t is a protection to
the public health. The citizen who
takes as much pride in his back yard
as he does in the appearance of his
front lawn is the fellow who does
not believe in putting up swell front
and at the same time maintain swill
back.
