lies of the Schuylkill coal region turned
out In large numbers yesterday to honor
Mgr. Satolli, who came here to lay the
corner stone of the new school Of the St.
Johns German Catholic church. Excur-
sion trains from all points in the county
and as far north as Hazleton brought
priests and laymen, and the church was
crowded both morning and afternoon.
Pontiflcial mass was celebrated in the
morning by Mgr. Satolli, and in the after
noon he laid the corner stone in the pres
ence of 5000 people. After these cere.
monies Mgr Schroeder, of the University
at Washington, delivered sermon This

blessed sacrament by Mgr. Satolli.

The peach trees on the Peninsula never
seemed to be In better condition than they
are at the present time. and in a very short
while Delaware below the New Castle coun-
ty line will have the appearance of a
great garden. The peach trees are in bios
som and the effect is beautiful. Fruit
growers who should be familiar with the
matter say that the coming crop will be a
good one and that the Peninsula peach
grower has good sause to feel hopeful. 1t
is not likely that there will now be any
weather which will kill the buds, and all
are hopeful.
The crop this year will not be as large
as the one two years ago, but the results
will be better to the grower At the time
mentioned the crop was so large that the
market was kept glutted and the prices
realized were small. This year the crop
will not be SO large. The trees in some
sections have been reduced in numbers to
get rid of the yellows. SO that there are
fewer trees to bear than there we're two
years ago. but the ones which are left
should be good ones and the crop should be
Of good fruit.
The Peninsula basket factories are
already getting ready for the season. and
one dealer in Dover has ordered $1,000 bas-
kets in addition to the number which he
has already on hand. Dealers in other
parts of the state are also laying In good
supply of baskets and II the crop is not
good one there will be a number of people
left with thousands of baskets on their
hands.
1t is believed that some OF The growers
will this year take the California plan of
putting up the finest fruit In boxes and
selling It in that way. 1t makes the fruit
look much better and the good quality finds
a ready sale because the manner in which
1t is put up is attractive. This is the
method which has been suggested by Dr.
John ]. Black of New Castle. who is one of
the best-informed men on fruit culture in
the state. 1t is also probable that the poor
fruit will not be SO generally shipped this
year as 1t was two years ago. 1t does not
pay to ship such fruit and at the same time
brings down the price of good fruit.
AS yet no estimate of the number of bas-
kets of fruit which will be raised and
shipped from the Peninsula has been made
but 1t is believed that the size of the crop
will be a surprise to many people.
