RIG YIELD OF FRUIT.

Peaches VIII be More Plentiful and
Cheaper Than Ever Before-A Mag
nihcent Home Crop In Berlin-Oth-
er Fruit.
This is essentially fruit year and the
remarkably high prices which have ruled
80 long on ham and bacon and such stuff
need not terrify the housekeeper any long
er, nor force her to substitute tripe for
sirloin steak. There is much nutriment in
peaches, and peaches will soon be here by
the carload, for never before has the yield
been so big and never before was the fruit.
so fine at this stage of growth
Last year the peach crop filed 4, 000, 600
baskets-that is, 1t was sufficient to fill
that number. This year the estimated yield
is $500, 600 baskets, and there is no addi-
tional area for their distribution.
Gamers are reported as discouraged be-
cause they don't think that it will pay to
can as many as they must to keep their
works in full operation, and some say
that they will not put up any. Within
few days peaches will be everywhere, and
within a few weeks they will be drug
on the market, If the crop fully ripens
Without disaster. The fashion has for
years been to destroy the peach crop of
the country every spring-that is, on pa
per. This year the destruction act didn't
work.
In fact, this is big year for all fruit
except apples, and while there will be no
scarcity of these, they will not be 30 plen
tiful nor go low In price az they have been
in GONE ''apple years Pears, grapes,
melons and all the other delicacies of the
season will be plentiful and cheap.
The prospect was never more fair and
promising for good crop of peaches at
the orchard of the Connecticut Valley COM
psny at the Berlin orchard than at the
present time. The Berlin paper Gays: The
crop is far ahead of what it was last year,
both &n quality and quantity. Last year
%, 900 baskets-of choice fruit were pick
and marketed. This year the indications
hold good for number of thousand more
baskets.
This year the fruit has been picked over
on the trees and thinned out twice, or Or
der to give the peaches better chance to
mature and to make those which were left
on the tree larger. Additional appliances
have been procured for picking over and
marketing the fruit. 1t is expected that
with the experience of previous years and
the new appliances the fruit will be placed
in the market in better style and more
promptly.
A few of the earlier varieties are now
ready to be picked. The great bulk of the
crop will not, however, be ready to pick
for three or four weeks. A larger force of
hands than ever will be employed in har-
vesting the fruit this year.
