quite remarkable fruit records of 1911
was made by a 1.200 acre orchard of
seven-year-old Elbertn peach trees lo-
coated in Pike county. Ark. The gross
returns are placed at $300,000 and ex
penses at $100.000, leaving a net profit
of $200.000 from a tract of land that
was bought for $5 an acre eight or nine
years ago. The tract in question was
a cut over timber tract, the surface
soil being gravelly loam and the sub
soil a red clay. Tbe season’s output of
fruit was 230 cars that averaged $1,500
per car.
