THE RETURNIUG VETERAN IN THE FRUIT BUSINESS 



V/hat advice would an established fruit grower give to a veteran 

 who is thinking of getting started on an orchard? Fruit growing is an at- 

 tractive business. The fruit itself, the tree, the outdoors, and the type 

 of work will have an appeal for many. Without doubt a good many fruit 

 growers will have an opportunity to advise some veteran before many months 

 have passed. Perhaps he will be a relative, or perhaps some young friend. 

 The request for advice may be given in an informal or casual vfay, but it 

 will be no less important to the man concerned.
