Horticultural Demonstration At Tefft On April 6th.

County Agent Barrett, with a representative from the horticultural department of Purdue; will be at, J. W. Mannan’s farm, one-half mile south of Tefft, on Monday, April 6th, for a demonstration on pruning, spraying and other work regarding the farm orchard. The time was when our fruit trees could be set out and with little, care or attention would in time come into bearing and make a profit without much expense, but with the increase of diseases and the decrease of protection we find that it isbecessary to put our time and energy against these various destructive agencies to make the orchards even yield us what fruit of suitable character we want tor home use, where with proper care it might be and should be made to produce a good profit and in many cases we know of its producing a better profit than any other piece of ground of equal area on the farm. Mr. Durham is well prepared to answer any questions which may come up and this is your charice to ask questions and get answers first hand from a good reliable source, iso come out to the meeting and show this man that Tefft is one locality that is wide awake. O. G. BARRETT.
