MAKING HIS ORCHARD PROFIT-ABLE
Nino years ago, C. H. Wilgers, a
southern Ohio farmer, residing in
Lawrence county, offorod his 30-acre

no Ulcers. The orchard consisted of
1,000 Home apple trees -planted 23
years ago, but for the first fifteen
years it failed to pay expenses.
When tho owner found that ho couid
not mako a dale, even at such a re
duced price, he concluded to put in
some work on the orchard in an
effort to make it more profitable. He
