in the spring reminds one of a well- 

 prepared garden. 

 Two years ago Mr. Harbin put three 



tons of limestone per acre on this 

 orchard, and last year he used 300 

 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. This,

together with what barnyard manure is 

 produced on the place is the fertilizer 

 used. His trees have very heavy foli- 

 age this year and great vitality due to 

 the fact that much fertilizer had been 

 used. The frost last spring had very 

 little effect on this orchard, while 

 some of his neighbors, who do not 

 spray, cultivate or take care of their 

 orchards have not enough apples for 

 their own use. 



Had it rained in the early part of 

 July this year Mr. Harbin's orchard 

 would have produced possibly 300 bar- 

 rels of apples more, on account of the 

 increased size of the apples. 



Mr. Harbin is not a young man, but 

 is nearing 70 years of age, yet he looks 

 after the general work of the orchard 

 and directs his men what to do and 

 when to do it. Mr. Harbin says that 

 his only regret is that he is not 20 years 

 younger, for he sees the possibiliti es o f 

 the orchard business.
