ORCHARDS AND VINEYARDS.
Aht Worda Concerning a Vary
Important Matter.
Mesa, Abxz., March 20,1901.
Editors Free Press:
Noticing in some recent issues of
gihlir paper your endeavors to bring
to the people’s attention the mat
. ter of the dying out of orchards and
| vineyards in this locality, and what
this state of affairs is to bring us
to, I would be glad to say a feW
words also upon the subject.
We afford to he without our
arrived
homes, with nothing growing
around but alfalfa fields, is not
enough. The latter are all right
in their places, but the home is not
all right without any garden or
orchard, vineyard or shade trees.
' The writer feels that the situa
tion, though at first view might
seem discouraging —finding our
selves now where we are—yet with
a proper interest on the part of all,
and with a right understanding of
the cause of this present condition,
we may with assurance look for
ward to the. time when the same
Will be ch mged, and feels safe in j
predictiug for this valley, not many
years hence, such a change on this
line as will be a surprise to most of
us.
' As you, Mr. Editors, say, it is
through lack of caae that our or
chards are dying out. And why
have they not been cared for? It
seems to follow as a natural conse
quence in the development of a new:
c mntry, and the writer remembers
when the same point was reached
jin California. But in California
•Upi see that the orchards and !
vineyards are taken care of, and!
are prolific and profitable, and
comprise much of the beauty and
wealth of the State.
This condition of decay and dy
ing out of orchards, etc., comes as
a result of the ideas entertained by
the early Settlers, v Whey they plant j
their tr&s they are not thinking of
fftfbfiti or even of the same being a
j very important" factor to their in
j terest, but only have in mind that
* they frill be of fii -home
convenience |q them. Their busi
ness is altogether on other lines,
and their trees only get secondary
consideration.
Thus in course of time in the new
country its people come to find their
orchards and vineyards dying out.
The people then £0 to looking for
the cause, as we will do here " They
conclude that, “if we are going to
have orchards we must take care of
them.’* - Soma lead- out and take
core of their trees; and come to have
the satisfaction of seeing * them do
ing well, and they also make their
profit out of them. Then others
follow, and the* titae comes (in a
country that is adapted to fruit
raising)? that we finally have' our
beautiful and profitable orchards,
we WilV yet'have in fhii larid.
