Younger persons picked the pears from the lower half of the large tree standing at the rear of the property where Mr. and Mrs. Mur ray live on North Jackson street. They balked on attempting to get the higher pears, however, and it was at that point that Murray took over. He used a 40-foot extension ladder to get to the top of the tree, and his job of picking was so thoro he was willing to wager that not a single pear remained, even at the highest point. Scaling heights is nothing new for Murray, and he pointed out that when he was working actively as a painter he worked on the steeples of practically every church in this area. With fruit of all kinds extremely scarce, Murray did not want the pears to go to waste and he is sell ing them for the cost of picking. Willard Kyle, Athens county farmer, estimates his crop yields have been in creased 20 per cent since he began strip farming 100 acres of his 600 acre farm.
