PLUM HARVEST !
AZ . l'5...' YE ORCHARDS
NEARING ITS END.
Bumper Crop Of Early Fall Fruit
Grown This Year
EXCEEDING 5000 BUSHELS
Many Trees 50 Heavily Laden
that Limbs Broke under
Weight

Plum picking at the Everett Or.
chards Is nearly at its end The crop
this year has amounted TO over 5000
bushels and the picking and packing
has been a rush job especially during
the hot days OF last week when the
plums ripened rapidly.
The two varieties which were most
prolific this year were the Lom.
bards and the Damsons and the trees
at the Orchards were so heavily load.
ed with these plums that many were
broken down.
With the completion OF the plum
picking. apple picking will start. In
fact some apples have already been
shipped The apple crop this year
is not so large as looked probable
when the trees blossomed last spring
but the quality is good and the color
ing OF some varieties is exceptional.
The shipping from the Everett Or.
chards In Bennington Is largely from
Hoosick station while the fruit from
the Carpenter Hin section is shipped
from North Pownal. In hot weather
the cars are iced even when the dis.
tance TO be transported is not great.
The Everett Orchards which we're
practically all set within a few years
are coming rapidly into bearing.
Some varieties bear earlier than 9TH
ers but the growth and development
OF the young trees set out only
few years ago is remarkable. Prac.
tically the only part OF the Orchards
where there is no fruit is in the sec.
tion set out this year
