fruit comes in at a time of the
year when money is hard to
get hold of. Don’t misunder-
stand your County Agent and
get the impression that he says
for the farmer to convert all
his cotton land into orchards,
for that is the wmong impres-
sion, but he does urge the far-
mer to grow enough fruit for
home use and to look after his
trees so that they will have
long life and to bear more pro-
ductively.
In the near future we hope
to have with us the Horticul-
ture specialist from A. & M.
College, and he can tell us and
show us how to properly prune
and take care of our trees.
