HOW Shall II he nnne2

]. ?. r. Polk, who has been one of
the most industrious and persistent in
working out an idea, of any man on
the Peninsula, was in town on Satur-
day, presumably in the interest of his
bureau of peach distribution and sales.
He is having the experience that has
been the common lot of all inventors
and discOverers-severe criticism as
impractical, impossible, &c. Mr.. Polk
goes ahead all the same, with an appar-
ent unbounded faith in the success of
his scheme. His very persistency in
the face of carping criticism" gives
him the attention Of that large class
who admire pluck whenever exhibited.
His plan remains yet to be tried land
this year ought to do it pretty thor
oughly) but in any event could hardly
expect to reach perfection at once.
There will evidently be room for full
play for all the plans of marketing the
crop, and there need be no hostile bear
ing on the part of one towards another.
Mr.. Polk starts out with a breadth of
diverse markets never before approx
mated-300 small cities and towns,
which will, he thinks, consume a car
load of peaches q day. This has been
severely criticised for its very large
ness, 10000 baskets a day which
would make 100000 for the season.
leaving little or none for New York.
Philadelphia, &c. Should he reach
one quarter the number it would re-
lieve the cities of their gluts and conse-
quent break in prices, matter of i'm
mense importance to the peach grower
Besides, if wide distribution should
make a scarcity in the large cities, the
dealers there would hurry down here
and buy direct from the wagon, a pro-
ceedure that would greatly interest the
members of the Fruit Exchange as
we'll as the farmers. Our growers
have long wanted to even up with the
New York commission men, and these
methods of wide distribution and local
sales both, put them on this line. But
the chief factor in all this controversy
is the peach grower, for it is he who
makes the investments, waits for
years for n realization, and stands or
falls by the result. For this reason
he is entitled to the first consideration
above all dealers, middlemen, &c. The
practicability can only be proven by a
fair test: if it fails little or nothing
will be lost; fit is a success, it will re-
suit in immense gains TO the peach
growers Of the Peninsula. The farmers
who are-so shy Of Mr.. Folks wild
scheme are nevertheless deeply in
terested in its ultimate result as some
thing they have long looked for and
never expected to realize. The work
ings Of his distributing Office at Clay
ton will for this very reason claim
more than usual attention from a large
number who have no direct interest.

The Peach Yellows.

1t the prematuring of peaches on
apparently healthy young trees last
year, attributed to the continued wet
weather, was an ANOMALY, this year
it is a revelation. This year from a
tenth to a quarter of the peaches in
orchards from four to eight years old
are prematuring, while the trees are in
the maine green and vigorous in ap-
pearance. There is a general impress
sion that the published estimates of
the peach crop are too high by from a
quarter to third. The revelations of
the past week or two in relation to the
yellOws indicate that something like a
million baskets from this cause NAV be
deducted from the general estimate,
bringing the crop of the Peninsula
down to 100000 or 100000 baskets.
The old trees we are told, that is, the
trees from ten to twenty years old
otherwise healthy, are not prematuring
like those of recent planting. If this
tendency to early prematuring extends
to Sussex and other new peach lands
down the Peninsula, as has been stated
it would indicate that the nurserymen
may be much to blame in the seed
| they plant or the selections used il
budding. 1t is a noticeable fact that
new orchards set in fields adjoining
an existing orchard invariable have {
strong tendency to the yellows in the
two or three rows next to the old or
chard, evincing clearly an exhaustion
of the soil for continued peach grow
ing. The peach is evidently working
out its own solution as a profitable
| crop.

Sugar Advancing.

Sugar went up one cent a pound last
week, in a wholesale way. SAYS the
Penin8uLdr NelOs, such an advance in so
short time is said to be unprecedent-
ed in recent years. Granulated sugar
is now retailing at 9 cents per pound,
against 8 cents formerly, and it is
thought the highest figure has not vet
been reached. A prominent grocer
tells us the reason for the advance, as
follows Claus Spreckles, who is now
building a mammoth refinery in Phila-
delphia, has said repeatedly that he
would not join the Sugar Trust. In
ducements have been offered him to
become a member of the combination.
and round million dollars was the
last offer. He refused this princely
offer, however, and Sc the Trust realiz-
ing that he would be a serious compe-
titOr when his reineries started next
fall, have determined to make all the
money they could before that time
Having absolute control of the sugar
output, the Trust has advanced the
price and may advance it yet, and so
make all the money they can for the
next three months.

SENATOR ALLISON, one of the ablest
of our Senators, and who is Chairman
of the Senate subcommittee to which
has been referred the tariff question in
that branch of Congress, has stated,
says the Ledger, he expected the Mills
bill would reach the Senate about the
25th instant, when the Republican Sen
ators would have their bill ready; that
the Democrats of the upper House
would adopt the former and the Re
publcans pass their own measure. He
thought the debate would continue for
Il week or ten days, when the Senate
bill would pass that body by a strict
Republican vote that then the entire
tariff business would be relegated to a
Committee of Conference, which would
promptly agree to disagree; that the
Democrats would insist upon free wool
that the Republicans would refuse to
make wool free, and that all tariff leg
islatiOn of the present session, which
latter he thought would last until
about August 18th, would die in con
ference. All this, of course, is to {
great degree conjectural, but Senator
Allison is no doubt as competent to hi
upon the likely programme of Congress
in regard to this matter as any ont
would be.

intend to move why should his son j
say so. That young gentleman twill
certainly iniure his "nOne too good -

that letter would hurt, as he does 10

THE fate of the Tariff bill in the
House is foreshadowed by the vote
Monday on wool. it being decided to
keep it on the free list by a vote of 1O2
to 12O. The item of free wool has been
the one thing on which President
Cleveland laid the greatest stress. The
Washington correspondent of the Bal
timOre Sun says:
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Unless both
democrats and republicans are in error
in their calculations the consideration
of the tariff bill by the House may be
concluded tomorrow. The republicans
made their fight principally on free
lumber and free wool, and were de-
feated on both propositions. The con-
test over wool eliminated to-day in a
victory for the tariff refOrmers by a
vote of 102 to 120. When the Chair
announced the result the democrats
applauded enthusiastically. On the
vote by tellers Messrs. FOran, SOwden
and Wilkins were the only democrats
who fell in with the republicans. Knute
Nelson, the Minnesota republican, sur
prised the tariff reformers by also vot-
ing against free wool, in spite of his
numerous free-trade speeches during
the past several weeks. Messrs. Bliss
and Bacon, of New York, and McAdoO,
of New Jersey, who were put down
among the democrats who would vote
against the bill, passed through the
tellers with their party associates and
helped to swell the majority. The dis
position of the wool schedule was re-
garded as the last serious point of dis
pute in the bill, and Chairman Mills
remarked this afternoon That be hoped
to get through with the bill tomorrow
The pottery, glass and cotton ties
schedules and the dates upon which
the various provisions 60 into effect
will be reviewed, but no serious delay
is anticipated in the future considera-
tion of the bill. Representative vii
son, of West Virginia, who is member
of the ways and means committee, re
marked this evening that the member
of the committee were agTeeably sur
prised at the rapid progress made il
the bill to-day after the wool schedule
was disposed of. For over two hour
the reading clerks were allowed to pro
ceed uninterruptedly with the reading
of the administrative features. Rep
resentative Dingley, one of the repub
lican leaders, said the bill could be com
pleted by tomorrow, as there is no dis
position on the part of the republical
members to further delay a final vot
on the bill. Several days may be re
quired for the absent members to re
turn to the city, and in the meantim
the bill may be laid aside.

The Crane Rlight.

Some three weeks ago we gave an
account of the blight that has visited
the grape vineyards of this vicinity,
causing the destruction in many Of
them of at least half the crop. The fog
of week ago renewed the blight and
caused nearly all the remainder of the
grapes on the vines affected to rot.
This is especially So in the well
known vineyard of J. d. Scout at
Smyrna Landing, which we visited a
day or two ago. The vines started out
in the Spring with the best promise he
ever had, nor was there anything ex-
cept the rose bugs, which were not so
bad at his place, until this blight in
June to change his expectation. He
had a promise of thirty tons: they
have blighted and rotted until at the
best there will not be five tons Many
vines haven't hardly a grape much
less 4 bunch on them. 1t is a little
singular that his fathers vineyard a
few hundred yards distant was but
slightly injured by the blight A. S.
Reeder, west Of Clayton, was also un-
injured, but they are among the ex-
ceptions. Mr. Reeder was fortunate
enough also TO escape the rot OF last
year caused by the excessive wet
weather w. T. Massey, the Messrs.
Anthony, E. Lower, w. 2. Cummins
and others are more or less affected.
Mr.. Scout, by the way, has a good
yield from his other crops. His black
berry vines have yielded we'll of fine
fruit. His nursery of peach trees of
fine growth are free from any appear
ance Of the yellows. Mr.. Scout main
tains that this is the place to detect
and destroy them, and thinks that
there should be more vigilance in this
particular by the nurserymen. An
early transparent yellow apple ol
which Mr. Scout has Il number of
young trees, is fully ripe and an excel
lent apple for eating or cooking, of 6
sub acid taste, in quality not unlike
the codling.
