TAKING AN ORCHARD CENSUS, A. A. ASBAI4R. 
Many of our members will recall a khaki-colored streak on a motor-cycle flashing 
across the land-scape last summer, stopping here and there at an orchard, like, 
and yet unlike, a humming bird sipping honey. That was Asbahr taking an orchard 
census. He will tell us about it.
