Tree Planting Near Tonica Yields Noted Bounty
James Righey near Tonica planted 120 Russian mulberry trees in Nebraska along a road hedge. Several trees now bear fruit with some producing three bushels and two or three yielding white berries of intense sweetness. Righey allowed the harvest of two to three bushels.

The report urges solid planning as rains threaten and prices offer little margin for loss.
