It was a recen privilege of a rep- 1 rtesentative of this ofapuar to yi.it ' :C young and pr omi nd apple rchardc of Mr. .1. t. Childress near tar . t's store a be a witnes the the markd I imlprv'en It o' the ochard( aft:r < pruning and1( spraying dernon)Istrat ion under the direction of Couaty Agen T. A. HiowanI. This orchard conlsi at"s of about 300 apple trees of dternt varieties set out by lr. htildres, 1 four yours a a and coverit a dout thous acres of land. Up until tast iebrutary the trees lid not sem to at doi g ay too well, but the latter larert of and ay the trees were i tn-d I s iyed, and now t en T;re IrIMrd appears to be in line :"umlition. Alanlly of the trees have "Ime fruit on them n Cow and ( it is ex. pected that by next year all of tha trees will be bearing well. One nticeable feature of the orch Anr is the differ ce in the trees set Out in lind that was dynamited and those set in plowed .land, the trees in the dynamtied land, altho set out at the satme time as the others, being1 larger and looking much healthier than those set in hte plowed ,eand. The prospects now are that Mr. Childress will by next year have a nice paying investment in this orch ard. Another orchard visited was that of Mr. B. P. Freeman of near Pick ens. -he has around at hundred ap ple trees and about the same num ber( of peach trees. This orchard i was aid pruned and sprayed recent- i ly by Mr. Bowen and is looking good. 1 Some of the finest young fruit trees in the county, though, are in the orchard of ill]. W. T. Bates. le has some native peach t rees three years old that are as hrge as mst tr ees five years ohi, and they are full of fruit. This is another orchard that has had the attention of 'Mr. Bowen., One of the most interesting prun ing and spraying de lolstrations that Mr. Bowen has given, however, is with a peach orchard at tthe l'ikns Cotton Alill. This is an orchard of old tree's that were ahout to die. ;%1r. Bowen has bronght it, back to life and indientions now :are that it, will be better than tvr.
