AN INSPECTION. some farmers from
the country have asserted this week thai
! their peaches had fallen so badly that bu
very meager quantity remained on the
! trees. This had a tendency Of course tt
cause some talk and inquiry. In company
! with }. c. Bailey we went to his farm
| yesterday near MoOrton and an examina
| ton Of his orchards of 5000 trees showed
! them in most of the varieties TO be il
| abundant fruitage The yellow varietie.
are not more than half as abundant as tht
others. In his young Orchard-fJur year
/ old, strong vigorous trees-the Crawford
and Reeves have sutfici .nI quantity fS
( Il full crop, if the loss in the June Shed
/ ding is not too heavy. The SmOcks il
/ this orchard are the most affected and viii
need every peach remaining to make
/ good crop when matured. In the olde
! orchard the trees Of the yellow Varietie
seem nearly as full as the others. Th
Mountain rose, NOrks, Stumps, &C., wOult
be the better to drop at least half thei
| fruit, now nearly the size of cherries. Tn
! very early varieties, Alexander, Amsdel
/ June, Hales early &C., are loaded down
with fruit. Mr.. Bailey will have fruit fo
| the market in little oyer month. Tw,
years ago he shipped Amsden June
