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.
