RAILWAY officers In Delaware and
Maryland estimate the peach crop Of tho
peninsula at four hundred thousand
baskets, or about one-sixth Of an Az
erage crop. Orchards in middle and
northern Delaware that were laden
with luscious fruit last summer arc
nearly bare Of fruit this year, and are
marked in every part with ''the yell

year is likely to be followed by the up
roofing OF many thousand trees. Ex-
perts in peach lore are convinced that
peach growing Is doomed In northern
Delaware.

To all who are interested III tie mat

stead and timber culture claims, this
item will be Of great interest. Many
persons have fled applications for ex-
tension Of time. thinking that this would
give them an extension of the time in
which they should make final proof.
This idea is an erroneous one. In the
matter of timber culture claims the ex-
tension is only for the purpose of giving
one year more in which to plant the tim
Der, timber seeds or cuttings, required to
be planted under the Law, and does not
extend the time In which to make final

not be made under eight years from date

he must prove that he complied With the
Law as to planting and cultivation. In
