The above map shows Fruitville Farms, numbered 101 to 166, with the number
of acres on each farm. There is a good and healthy building site on each
farm and each farm fronts on a road.
Mr. Paul Evans, director of the Missouri Fruit Experiment Station at Mountain
Grove, and the Hon. W. C. Paynter, a Representative in the Legislature
from Oregon County, both eminent horticulturist and agriculturists, have
examined each of these farms and given a certificate as to the growth
thereon of fruits, vegetables, melons, grains and grasses. Copies of this
certificate will be furnished on request.
The Honorable W. C. Cordell, Presiding Judge of the County Court of Howell
County, and Mr. R. S. Hogan, President of the West Plains Bank, have examined
the above farms and very carefully fixed prices on each of them, ranging
in price from $20.00 acre up, and aggregating a total of from $278.88
up.
