Show FACING CRISIS when the bottom seemed to drop out of the fruit industry a few years ago most ot of the of 0 this section either pulled out their trees or just gave up and permitted them to grow wild and foul As a result a real crisis has developed and unless drastic action is taken there is grave danger of 0 necessity forcing the up rooting ot of all fruit bearing trees there is only one way to success fully engage in any business and that Is by care of 0 all the details in the truit fruit business one ot of the im details is spraying and pruning trees and who tail fail to do that soon find themselves hopelessly out ot of business because these trees will produce nothing but wormy wo fruit local growers have received a pretty good price tor for their product during the past lew few years bears because other fruit growing sections have experienced failures but had there been ceen competition doubtless the home product would have suffered instead of permitting the orchard to become foul growers should remember diat that there is no section where stone fruits can be produced more profitably and no finer fruits can be produced anywhere than right here in our own community by keeping the trees well pruned and sprayed perfect fruit can be produced and that is the kind the market demands nature has provided the natural condition for perfect fruit culture but man must also do his part and it is really too bad tor for such a preeminent pre eminent fruit growing section like our own to tail fall into the careless habit and thus deop ardise our reputation and perhaps close up the markets to our products we ought to adopt a slogan some ehlig like the following plant prune and spray and let nothing interfere with such a program we ought to grow more varieties and make them produce the best of their kind bind thus establishing a reputation that would soon become nationwide nation wide |
