Plans Proposed for Orchard Road Fruit Plantings
A German plan to set out Elberta peach trees along public highways aims to fund highway maintenance. Col. Frank W. Buffum supports trial of the scheme, with trees supplied by a Pike County nursery. The route runs from river to river through Howard, Boone, Audrain, Pike and Louisiana counties, with free trees for communities along the line. The Blue Book Route enters Jack County at Oak Grove, then follows the Rock Road to Grain Valley and the Babar Road to Kansas City.
