INSUFANCE A NECESSITY
INSURANCE ACTUALLY DEALS WITH EVERY HONEST
BUSINESS CNDER THE SUN
Fire insurance baa come to T>e not only a householder's security,
but a national necessity. The borne owner must protect his family
and provide shelter; the renter must guard his household- goods.
Business concerns, factories, churches, schools, colleges and cor
porations must protect their property Investments. The man who
can thus provide the security of a community against financial loss
from flri is its insurance agent, through his companies

Another Christmas is near at hand j
and Rift list are being prepared
for the shopping tour that every one
will make.
And when jou buy. will yad re
member thj claims of the home mer
chant and give him a c.ia.ice to share
in your trade?
cannot expect to prosper as a
community by dividing our patron
age with business men who contri
bute nothing to the upbuilding of
our local institutions.
It is to the best interest of those
who buy. to trade at home. Just as
it is to the best interest of those
who sell.
Unless we "pat each other on the
back" nothing constructive can ever
be accomplished and Franklin county
will go backward instead of forward.
The logic of trading at home la
unassailable. There is no other way
ol reasoning ? If you spend your
money away from home, you have
no hope of ever Jingling it in your
pocket again, but If you keep your
money in circulation at home, you
may get a chance to use it again.
Kranklln ounty merchants pre
pare for Christmas with a large and
extensive stocks and endeavor to
serve the people of this trading area
as best as they can. They should be
patronized, not alone from the stand
point of home patriotism, but because
they have Christmas merchandise of
quality that no one will be ashamed
to give.
K!NI> AMI SIZE OK SPRAY PIMP
TO I'SE
"How many acres of orchard should
one spray pump take cnre of?".
This depends entirely on the .".ge
and size of the trees. A good berrel
outfit will tako care of cn orchard
up to 2 1-2 or 3 acres In tlze. Where
one has three acres or more, then a
power spray outfit chould be obtain
ed. If only 3 to 15 or 20 acres, one of
the smaller power outfits will serve
the purpose, but for 20 acres or tnore,
one of the larger and more powerful
outfits should be used.
Even one of the larger spraying
out i it s should not be I'.epended upon
to take care of more than 25 to 35
acres, because If one mr.chine is to
cover a bigger acreage than this, the
result will be that some of the spring
and summer spraying will be delay
ed. This of course means imperfect
fruit, and a smaller price when mark
eted.
In spraying with a barrel pump, a
pressure of at least 100 pounds should
be maintained. This means that the
person doing the pumping has a real
job on his hands and that he should
keep quite busy. One hundred and
fifty pounds would be better, but It
Is hard to maintain this with a hand
operated pump.
In spraying with power machines,
a pressure of not less than 200
pounds should be maintained; 250 to
275 pounds Is better. A very high pres
sure. 350 pounds, often causes spray
injury. ? The Progressive Farmer.
TWO ACRES IX FRUIT MOST
PROFITABLE PART OF FARM
I have an orchard of about two
acres. In it I have about 50 peach
trees which ripen from May to Sep
tember 15 apple trees, Grimes' Golden
and Oelicous, 10 plum irees of dif
ferent varieties and 3 Scuppernong
vines, some Pineapple and Kieffer
pears, 6 May cherries, 15 figs, and
some pecans. I filled in between pe
jcans with peaches, apples, pears, plum
and figs. We have an arbor for the
J James and Scuppernong vines. Straw
: berries are in the whole orchard. We
keep the trees properly pruned and
sprayed.
1 Our orchard Is near the house, and
' as we live in town, we have no trouble
in selling most of our fruits, and we
| usually get above the market value
'Lecause we grade properly and havo
? better, sounder, and nicer fruit. Folks
[call for it and pay a premium price
gladly. When we have a surplus, we
Itlther can it or make preserves, jams,
r.nd Jellies, which we have no trouble
selling in winter. We have fruits fresh
jor in preserves and jellies, on our
Itable three times daily. Two fruit
stands handle our fruits retait and
get it fresh dally, in season. We lose
no time In going about peddling be
cause we have such nice fruit folks
jcome after it. Our orchad is seven
years old. We have other business and
I farming interests, but we consider the
orchard our very best paying invest
ment, counting time, acreage and the
'small amount invested In Its upkeebi
I find different varieties ripening at
different times, and proper attention ,
to every tree, the main things that
