Of course the most important influence is upon the fruit indus- 

 try, and this has already been discussed in suflicieut detail. Two 

 or three suggestions may, however, be in place. There is no reason 

 why the fruit district should not extend beyond Silver Creek. For 

 several miles beyond tliat town the conditions are favorable, though 

 they become less and less so as the distance increases. Another 

 point is the feasibility of increasing the range of crops. The cli- 

 mate and soil are w^ell adapted to all kinds of fruits which are com- 

 mon to this latitude ; and one would suppose that even the tobacco 

 plant might be profltably grown in a region so peculiarly favored. 

 Almost all conditions have conspired to make this one of the most 

 favored spots in the state.
