Eighteen years ago Col.
and Mrs. Frank Sleeter
bought an old house and So
acres Of overgrown apple
trees down in Virginia'S
Piedmont countryside.
One of their new neigh
bors, the areas top fruit
grower, just shook his head
and warned, You'll just
plain go broke if you fiddle
with that thing!"
Now grown to almost 800
acres which yields harveStS

dollar annual gross, Hill
High Orchards at Round Hill,
Va, is now the talk of the
EaSt's fruit growers.
Guiding Hand
The guiding hand behind
this success story is Mrs.
Sleeter herself - a woman
with determination, a good
business head, charm, but
most of all an experimental
knack and an Unsuitable
curiosity to find out why
things can't be done just on
others say so.
Crowned last night as
Queen of the Peach Growers
at the National Peach Coun-
ellis banquet at the Sheraton
Park Hotel, Mrs. Sleeter
started from scratch to earn
that title which she really
was reluctant to accept.
In 1912 Mrs. Sleeter started
out with absolutely no
knowledge of fruit growing
beyond a few years expert
ence playing around with the
Illinois farm she and her
husband purchased after
their marriage.
Il had it irrigated, then
planted everything that
looked good in every seed
catalogue I could get my
hands on from one coast to
the other" she recalled yes
terday.
Then Col. Sleeter, who is
now vice president of the
Radio Corporation of Amer
lea, was ordered to Wash
ington for wartime duty at

they had been interested in
the locale as a potential good

ing and packing of the final
product.
From the beginning this
woman grower was intent on
quality rather than quantity.
So a costly initial invest
ment was a modern cold
storage PLAINTIFF first pal
letized and charcoal air-fil-
tered fruit cold-storage plant
in the East. The palletizing
process enables them to pack
80 boxes at a time.
SaleswOman, Too
To find a buyers market,
Mrs. Sleeter simply picked
up the Washington phone
directory and spent the win
ter calling on all the chain
stores and produce houses
with samples. A local super
market chain is one of her
best customers now.
1t is Mrs. Sleeter'S expert
mental knack, however, that
earned her her reputation,
even though at first some of
her competitors looked upon
her ventures as "a crazy
woman's ideas"
In an area where peaches
reach their peak in August
she saw no reason why she
shouldn't introduce new va
rieties which would peak
successfully from May
through october.
"Of course the longer you
have to wait for them to be
harvested, the greater risk
there is from the weather
and added expense in spray
ing" she said. But I think
the only intelligent approach
to good marketing is growing
a succession of varieties
rather than throw every

so that's exactly what I
bought because it was the
house that attracted me at
first" she said with a remi-
niScent laugh. Then when I
saw how much those poor old
apple trees needed care l
convinced him hows pretty
they would look in bloom in
the spring" Mrs. Sleeter was
in business.
The first thing she did was
to put in a call for help to
the Governments agricultural
experimental farm at Belts
vile, Md, for some expert
advice.
They sent out their top au-
thorities on apple and peach

the farm.
But it wasn't long before

nostalgia lodgings for coun-

St. Patrick

st. Patrick has been
one of the most popular
saints for centuries, but
even today very little is
known with certainty
about his life.
THE PATRON SAINT of
Ireland. whose feast will be
celebrated on March II with
fanfare in many parts of the
world, was the apostle of Ire
land and Archbishop of Ar
magh.
He was born about 800 and
died around $50, but exact
dates in his life are disputed
and the two letters he left
the world are not much help.
Patrick was a farm boy in
a part of Britain ruled by the
Romans, but terrorized by
Irish pagan raiders whenever
the Romans relaxed their
guard.
SOME TINE during his early
teens, raiders swept through
his neighborhood and carried
young Patrick and numerous
others off to be used as
slaves.
For about six years the
young was held in bondage,
tending his masters herds.
He wrote that he prayed hard
during these years, reporting:
"In a single day, | said as
many as a hundred prayers
and at night nearly as many"
During his sleep one night,
Patrick heard a voice tell him
he was ready TO return home
and that your ship is ready
He escaped from his master
and walked some 200 miles
to a vessel ready to depart
from Ireland.
WHEN HE ASKED for free
passage, ne was ieered and
refused. But then he said a
silent prayer and the sailors
mysteriously changed their
minds. inviting him aboard.
Getting TO freedom was not
easy. After three days of sail
ing, the ship landed. but in
