Oxford, June 20—F.W. Hancock Jr. and A.H. Powell have returned from Harnett county. They report a big improvement in crops in that section and much interest in the development of commercial peach orchards. The land of western Harnett being especially adapted to peaches, indications point to the development of peach orchard operations at Pineview that will probably in time rival the importance of the “Sand Hills” orchards, western Harnett lands being a continuation of the Moore county sand ridges so desired for fruit on account of safety from frost.
