Dear Sir:

Your letter of Jan 23 received- Would like to give you the
desired information in reference to peach yellows but cannot as
I have been in the business only 10 years.

I can say my trees are healthy and have done well for me,
expect the orchard to bear for sometime yet.  There are 2 orchards
adjoining me, one about the age of mine and one coming 3 years
old, have not heard of yellows troubling them.  I believe the orchards
are free from the disease in this section.  Have set out
an orchard last Spring, the trees are looking good.  There is
quite a call for trees at the nurseries, several orchards are being
set near here.  The crop has been paying better than grain and
potatoes in this section of the county-- The only trouble is the
grub worm which needs watching twice a year (in the fall and
spring) girdling in spite of all attention.

Yours Affectionately
Geo. H. Schanck
