Kennedy Lineman Predicts Fruit Crop Outlook at Hover Orchard
J H Kennedy a veteran chardist from Kiona tended the Presbytery at Hover then returned home Thursday. He foresees a strong cherry peach and plum crop but says apples will be smaller than last year due to overextension of trees. His orchard lacks irrigation as water wheel gear was lost to last fall’s high water. He plans gasoline engine pumping early season and will reinstall a water wheel later to secure a power appropriation filed years ago.
