    1. [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Jackson County: J. J. Peters Owns a First-class Orchard
    2. Randi Richardson via
    3. Breckenridge News, Cloverport, Ky., March 29, 1916, p. 7. The Kingston apple orchard near Seymour, Ind., is an example of first-class business management and the success that may follow the use of thoroughly up-to-date methods. It contains 110 acres and is owned by J. J. Peters. Last year the income from the orchard, which then contained only 35 acres in bearing, was $4,375 or approximately $125 to the acre. The remaining part of the 110 acres is too young to be in bearing. While this orchard is operated as a private enterprise, it is also a sort of experiment station for Purdue University, and the methods used are suggested by the station omen. Thorough spraying is one of the things that has brought success.
