Horticultural Demonstration at Tefft.

County Agent Barrett, with a reprepresentative from the Horticultural Department of Purdue, will be at J. W. Mannan’s farm, mile south of *Tefft, on Monday, April 6, 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 ihe decrease of protection we find that it is necessary to put our time and our energy against these various destructive agencies to make the orchard even yield us what fru t of suitable character we want for home use, where with proper care it might be and smould 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 prepareu to answer any questions which may come up and this is your chance to ask questions and get answers first-hand from a good reliable source, so come out to the meeting and show this man that Tefft is one locality that is wide awake. O. ti. BARRETT.
