a PEACH SHOW.

The people of Macon, Ca, are preparing
a fair on lines that it might be well for
some enterprising city to initiate in this
State. 1t is called "peach carnival" but
in its more important features will be es-
sentially an exposition of the peach in
dustry in all its branches, from the culti-
walton of the tree to the manufacture of
the finest forms of jellies and confects from
the fruit.
From recent report we learn that ex-
tensive preparations have been made for
practical exhibit on the ground of the best
canning factory, the best fruit-drying APP
paratus, the best crates, best ventilated
barrels, best ventilated fruit cars, best ex-
hibits of fruit in glass, with special induce
ments for display of home made preserves,
and also for exhibitions of the most ap-
proved methods of packing and preparing
peaches for shipment to market.
An exhibit of this kind, restricted to a
single industry, does not sound big. 1t
does not appeal to an imagination like
some high-sounding international Ex-
position of the Worlds Industries" nor
docs it promise SO much even as an ordi-
nary county fair devoted to all the re-
sources and products of the locality.
Nevertheless it has its advantages. Such
exhibits can be made thorough and ex-
haustive in their scope and therefore
really educating and instructive to those
who visit them. Moreover they can be
undertaken by cities of moderate size.
Any community can provide in this way
really comprehensive exposition of the in
dustry which employs the greater portion
of its people, and thus enable them to see
and learn all that the whole world knows
concerning the mechanism and methods
of that particular work.
Nor are such expositions likely to be too
small to be interesting to the general pub
lie. Modern industry has become very
complex mechanism and an exposition
which takes up any single department of
it with the aim to make thorough and
exhaustive display of all the machinery
and methods of business used in its per-
Torrance from first to last will be no small
or Insignificant affair when put into run
ming order. The peach show in Macon is
likely to prove a much bigger thing than
even the managers had any idea of when
they began it and the benefit to the peach
growers is sure to be considerable. 1t
would be good thing for some progress
i've city in the fruit districts of California
to take up this Georgia idea and develop it
to the fullest extent. We know already a
great deal about the fruit business, but
there is yet great deal for us to learn in
the art of preparing our peaches and april
cots SO as to be able to put them into the
market in the highest and most finished
form of table luxuries,

A PLAN FOR PROGRESS.


The scheme proposed by the advisory
and publication committees of the Mer-
chants Association, although consisting
of about twenty specifications, is confined
to these principles: First, encouragement
of such enterprises as will benefit the City;
second, cooperation with the City authori-
ties in enforcing the laws and the faithful
performance OF contracts; third, keeping
the City clean, and fourth, paving the
streets and protecting them against injury.
In addition to this the committees submit
a number of questions to the association
and the taxpayers which can receive con-
sideration hereafter. Putting these aside
for the present we have to consider the
''plan for progress" proposed by the COM
mittees.
! 1t makes no radical departure from the
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-24

general understanding of the Association g
plans, bat it does enlarge and expand
them. The most important feature of the
scheme Is the "co operation" which it pro-
poses to establish between the Association
and the City authorities. When we reflect
that politics and all that ordinarily goes
with 1t are often at the bottom of the Off
clal conduct OF municipal affairs and that
these conditions cut no figure whatever in
the organization and purposes of the
Merchants Association, we can infer
that the "plan for progress" means a
good deal more than is expressed on
its face. 1t has been out of this
element of politics that the scandals and
public wrongs have sprung in past years /;
and when we observe grave, strong body
OF responsible men politely requesting the
cooperation of that element out of which
the wrongs of the past have emanated we
feel safe in inferring that at last the best,
most intelligent and most responsible citi-
zens have made up their minds to give
their City the attention which it deserves
and which is necessary to its progress.
1t is not to be assumed that the associa-
ton will be at all offensive in the espion-
age which it is determined to exercise.
The merchants fully realize that all their
work to improve and beautify the City
would go for nothing in the presence OF a
lax or corrupt administration of the laws.
This plan for progress is fair notice that
the Government must be hereafter admin
istered honestly and economically and
that the merchants will see that it is. The
dawning of fairer time, in which good
results of a far wider range than that Wis
ible in the plan, is the promise that now
gives us hope, and the merchants may be
depended upon to bring about the happy
result.
