County Agent Barrett, with a rep representative from the Horticultural Department of Purdue, will be at J. W. Mannan’s farm, 14 mile south of Tefft, on Monday, April 6th, at 1 o clock, for a demonstration on pruning, spraying and other work regardig the farm orchard. The time wa3 when our fruit tree? 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 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 snould. 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 to : nswer any questions which may come up and this is your chance to esk 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.
