THE PEACH Prospect


A special excursion has been made
through the fruit growing regions OF
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, ly.
ing between the Delaware river and
Chesapeake Bay, for the purpose OF
inspecting and estimating the crops
and worllingarangements lorshipping
the products to market, The fruit
neverpromised better, the germs being
all in forward state of development
and giving assurance that the yield
will be very heavy and the best quail
ity. The young peach trees are very
strong and loaded with the forming
fruit, much in advance of the rather
backward season. A larger acreage is
planted than ever. The crop of 1876
was failure, owing mainly to the late
irosts, wet weather and exhaustion of
u large number of trees, being only
about l,O5s,5OO
The shipment Of fruit will begin
about the Goth of July. The heaviest
crop of peaches ever raised in this
region was that of 1878, when the
total shipment amounted to 9,072 car
loads aggrcgating, 100000 baskets.
but the entire yield aggregated G,00O,.
900 baskets, nearly a third having
spoiled en- route to market. The
average price in 1875 was about thirty
cents basket of those shipped, but it
is expected that better average price
will be made this year. The shipments
for 1915 were as follows: From Kirk

RETRENCH the ARMY.

SO jealous were the fathers Of the
Republic in regard to the possible
abuses of the military arm of the Gov
ernment, that they even restricted
Congress within narrow limits when

eight Of the Constitution, as follows.
