‘ ' Fine Fruit
Mrs E P Moore who lives
seven miles northwest of town
brought in a basket of as fine
fruit Monday as can be found
any where She had several va-
rieties of peaches and apples
Some of the peaches measured
10 1-3 inches in circumferance
and were as fine flavor as anyone
need wish
While the specimens of apples
were not mature they were
large and free from blemishes
and shows that with the proper
attention we can grow as good
apples in Dewey County as can
be produced any where 1
Several parties from other
states have visited Mr Moore’s
orchard and they all report it
one of the best to be found
