year off of HO ll-yer old peach trees
$124.25 net. Hiese tree) occupy
about eight-tcnihs of an acre of
ground and at this rate an acr
would net about ffiOO. This fruit
was raised without the aid of ir
rigation and tho trees are on sidehill
clay laud. The Incline is so steep,
too, that it cannot be plowed up and
down the hill but must be tilled cross
