vegetation was much earlier and often affected by those frosts my orch ard consisted of aboul 150 trees of 3c different kinds a great variety uf slim mer antl f..ll fruit ; so that from early in tho sr-venth month wc generally have a succession till wc gather our winter store often in abundance — and i know not that wc have ever wanted for house use in any year though some seasons there has been very httlc in tho cour.try ; this i conceive must be owing to the situation of ihe orchard in planting the trees 1 now sec that i!:e many others 1 committed a great error by plating them so near together not more than 30 feet apart i find that the limbs of many ol tl trees inteilock aud are tlead anil decaying — hence i con clude that for he preset vaiion of the irecs and thc improvement of the fruit it would bn much better to set the trees from forty r.ve to fifty feet apart — tiiis would admit of sun and air which are so essential in aiding the leaves to perform the office as signed them by straining and refining thc sap or that which constitutes the !',;;;:. by gradually throwing off that hit ler ov corrosive property it possesses and as thc fruit ripens gives it a more agree able flavor than it otherwise would have — i think it must bc within the observation of almost every person that fruit which ripens in the shade va not equally good nd agreeable to lhc taste as that exposed to thc sun and air if these views be concct they arc certainly in favor of set ting thc trees a considerable distance apatt — another advantage in favor of it which is lhat the ground may be farmed with almost any kind of grain thc trees bc benefitted by it and the ground left much better for grass jtotick fthiis is to notify all porsons against trading l i'or a note of liand which i pave lohn on f mecklenburg n ('. for soventy dollars due ihe luth day of january 18 ..', — is said note was riven in pay t.f a cotton gin which said orr war frintcd to be a good gin which on trial was ijiiml quite the reverse 1 therefore am detcr i med not to pay aid note until the gin is mail • i perform as warranted robert kirtiwtrtck ' august 13 1822 3t'19 " a horse that has arrived a an age lit for service ought to have forty teeth twenty lour grindeis twelve fore teeth and lour tusks mares however have but thirty-six except when they happen to have tusks winch is by no means com • mon seco.ttfl a\u last time t shalt attend at the court-house in sails bur en saturday ihc 14tii day of septem ' t n " ", " i ii ct the balance of thc t.vxl'.s die in capt wood company for the year 18?1 ;
