Dietrich tract eyed as future fruit center in Lincoln county
Indications point to Dietrich area near Shoshone quickly becoming a fruit hub. MR. C. R. Morse of Spokane and MR. HR. Teal of Cordele Georgia acquire land to plant apples and peaches, citing local orchards bearing well and the need for protective fencing and winter mulching to protect fruit buds. Teal plans to move to Shoshone, with land values rising from 5000 per acre to higher prices as Lincoln county’s fruit industry expands.
