of D, L. Purvis for a number of
years, Commencing some years
aro on 240 acres of very fine land
close to Two-mile, near Hazelton,
Dave has now a considerable area
under fruit, various kinds of
which he has heen experimenting
with since he started farming
here. He has had gratifying
success as the result of his labors
and hopes within a comparative-
ly short time to place this district
on fhe map as. a fruit country.

Dave has many varieties of
appletrees, some of which have

j|/reached maturity, including the
j ‘Yellow Transparent, the Lowland

Raspberry and Charlinoff. - He

j| finds that the Russian varieties

withstand the rigors of winter

j best, these being Charlinoff, An-
j|tenovka, ‘Vetoffski and Red and
j| Yellow Siberian (crab).

jJing on, such as’ the’ McIntosh|’

Besides fruit, Davespends much
time in the development of other
branches of the farming. This
year he will endeavor to obtain

his own seed from alfalfa of the|}

Grimm ° variety, ~ Seven years
ago he started to produce potat-
oes which would guif this climate
and hag-evolved a variety which
he has named the “O.K.”" ‘Chis
is a fairly early potato, is very
hardy, of good size and of fine
flavor, os

‘He intends to increase his area
of fruit trees by 14 acres, next
spring.

Mr. Purvis has-a ‘hardy variety
of cherry, the Ostheim, on which
which he ‘plans. to graft wild

obtaining’ a very hardy « stack
