PEACH CULURE.
Suggestions of Value From Sue

Mr. James &. Harris recently delivered

tural Society, Dover, Delaware which
we condense for the Church and Farm:
Soil and Situation.
In attempting to raise the peach for
profit we must take into consideration the
soil.
With a proper regard to varieties we
stiff or light land.
Experience has taught that the early
varieties, such as Waterloo, Amsden's,
are successfully grown on light sandy and
rolling land; but ripening at the begin
ming of hot weather while the ground is
unusually moist; the trees still making
vigorous growth and covered with dense
foliage shading the fruit; these tender va
rieties should never be planted on rich
ground or bottom land, but on soil of
moderate fertility. such as will produce
from fifteen to twenty-five bushels of
corn to the acre; and if there are any
varieties that should be raised without
manure, these are the ones, for while
manure increases the growth of the tree
by so doing ii increases the tendency of
the fruit TO rot.
Most of the middle and late varieties
grow well on either light or stiff land,
but all bear the most regular crops and
the best colored fruit on light loamy or
sandy soil. The earlier varieties should
be planted where there is the least depth
of soil, not alone from the fact that they
are less liable to rot on such soil but
also because the shallow soil keeps the
rootletS near the surface, gathering their
supply of plant food where the heat of
the sun has its greatest effect and tends

penetrate to depth in proportion to the
depth of the soil; pumping larger supplies

BEGIN WITH SMALL FRUITS.

Prof H. E. Van Deman, in a recent in
terview on the comparative profits of
small and large fruits, urged the plant
ing of small fruits for immediate re-
turns. One can plant small fruits and re-
ceive an income almost at once. The
strawberries grower can get a return at
lease the second year after planting, and
from blackberries and raspberries a good
return can be got the second or third
years. But for orchards you have TO wait
from three to five or six years before You
begin to get any considerable return. If

cies of small fruit for profit for a poor

would pay the best, but he must not grow
poor berries. He must cultivate them thor
oughly and raise choice fruit, and not
something that Will bring a poor price on
the market. It is the poor fruit that is
the most expensive TO the grower. The
man who grows an acre of strawberries
makes larger percentage of profit than
the man who grows fifty acres. Because
he has a better opportunity to give them
thorough culture, and because he does
not have to sell in such a wholesale way
and run the risks of big losses in the heat
of the season in the big cities. A small
business thoroughly done is much more
profitable than big business half done.

RESULTS OF THE POTATO VOTE

subscribers to secure local details and ex-
perience from which could be drawn con-
illusions concerning best varieties. best

valuable to the potato grower. Over 100
sorts were named, but the vote on the
eight leading varieties only are given.
What is the Best AII-Round PotatOS
This covers the whole field OF potato
growing. In answering it growers have
been compelled to consider all phases OF
the subject, balancing merits against
oemerits. II requires a summing up OF all
the points OF excellence IN each, and a
balance to determine which single variety
combines in itself the most good points
with the fewest deficiencies. Naturally
there is a decided difference IN the re-
garded value of the same variety in diff
ferent districts, depending upon soil and
length of time in cultivation, and adapta-
