J. P. Porter renorts that his fruit
trees bloomed beautifully this year,
but the buds were largely killed by
the freezes and the pesky winds.
He thinks the neaches and pears
were all killed, but there will be a
few plums and cherries if something
doesn't get 'em later. It is his
opinion that grapes can be raised
by the tons here. He says the
granes will not be in bloom for two
or three weens, oesiaes, grapes n
much moreeasily protected than
other fruits.

able for windmill irrigation. If it
rains, the wind doesn't blow; but if
it doesn't rain, the wind blows. Mr
Johnston's, ground is such that aftei
two or three years it is almost cer

of alfalfa without irrigation.
