NO. 2. 5 aw EXCELLENT PROSPECTS ' ALOMS ROCK CREEK ftprauino and Prunlna of rrult Trees Finished -Large Orop ftxpeoMd Oardeners Are Buau. The majority of the fruit grow ers along Rock Creek have fin ished spraying and pruning, and are now ready for the coming season. Early fruit has just commenced to bloom, and has suffered no damage as yet Last season a few of the orchards along the creek did not "produce more than half a crop on account of late spring frosts, but all are anticipating a favorable season for 1908. M. McKinney, Frank Christy. R. S. Ward. R. Gow and Roy James, the leading mar ket gardeners on lower Rock Creek, report that most all the early vegetables are planted and growing nicely, , in spite of the cold winds which have prevailed during the past week. AH ad mit that should the dry weather continue mch longer it will be necessary to commence irrigat ing much earlier than usual. The prospects for market gar dening in this section were nev er better, as the prevailing weather conditions will serve to make a failure of the gardens on the high dry lands, thereby fore ing the wheat growers to depend upon the irrigated tracts along the creeks and rivers for. their supply of vegetables. Market gardeners in this section usually make a profit of $300 per acre, and their earnings are expected to go much higher this season.
