FRUIT DEPARTMENT 
No home can be complete unless one has a few fruit trees, grape vines, or berry plants 
growing around the yard. With proper planning and care it is possible to grow a variety 
of fruit on a comparatively small place. With a few fruit trees, grape vines, berry plants, 
etc., pla¢ed around the home and yard one may derive fresh fruits in season in addition to 
adding to the attractiveness and value of the home. 
True, that no home is too small for an orchard or a few fruit trees, neither is a farm or 
ranch too large for an orchard planting. There are three good reasons for planting an or- 
chard on your farm. First, it will be a source of food for the home, giving fresh fruits in 
season and they can also be canned to offer cooked fruits throughout the year. Second, 
it, will be a source of income that will help the financial problems on a farm. Third, it will 
help complete the farm and add to the value of it. 
Now is the opportune time to plant that orchard. In the past few years fruit stock has 
been very scarce and the plantings were not sufficient to fill the needs of all. Fruit trees are 

now becoming a little more plentiful“and the wise landowner will invest in fruit stock for his 
land. 
PEACHES 
The peach is probably the most widely grown of 
all fruits, being produced over a wide variety of 
soils. No home should be without one or more trees 
of this valuable fruit. Select varieties to give a suc- 
cession of ripening dates. Plant heavily in commer- 
cial orchards. Peaches should be planted 25 feet 
apart or 69 trees to the acre.
