Chas. Halleck was down from Fair Oaks today. Our patrons who are interested in fruit culture are Indebted to Mr. Halleck for giving them through The Republican a formula for the control of the San Jose scale. That our pedple neglect the orchards is well known and there is an effort in conservation to try to get all orchard owners to give the proper care so that Indiana can take her proper place among the fruit growing states. We shall be pleased to have further instructive articles along this line from Mr. Halleck or other competent authority. An article on cultivation and trimming of trees would be appropriate at this time.
