PLUM AND CHERRY ORCHARDS FOR PA. Small Fruit Cultivation to Be Theme of Discussion at Convention Chances for Pennsylvania devel oping Its commercial plum and cherry orchards on the scale that Its apple and peach orchards have been expanded and the possibilities of fruit riasing in this State will be themes for discussion at the an nual convention of the State Hor ticultural Society to be held here January 22, 23 and 24. This so ciety is one of the oldest in the country and in addition to the fruit business it has been giving atten tion to the development of vege table growing. The effect of the war on vege table raising, war gardens, the use of tractors for vegetable growing, "gift packages, pests, storage houses and pit and trench storage and the question whether "war garden ac tivities will drop off perceptibly dur ing 1919" will be among th'. sub jects to be discussed. Another prob lem will be whether orchardists who have turned to tractors during the war and the labor shortage wilV go back to horses or continue to em ploy machines. In addition to the question of the future of commercial plum and cherry orchards in the State the opportunities for commercial berry and nut growing on land of the State not now producing, but adapt ed for such forms of horticulture will be taken up on Friday after noon. The apple and peach orchards of the State which now number trees in the millions will be greatly in creased in the next two years by trees which will begin bearing. In the Susquehanna valley alone the trees that will begin to bear are numbered by the tens of thousands and there have been big additions to commercial orchards near Philadel phia and Pittsburgh. •William S.
