/ Not Since 1878 Has There Been Such Pro-
epects for a Good YieId-Prospect OF
Fair Prices.
It is barely possible that peaches will
be killed this year. Not since 1875 has
the prospect the tenth day of April been
so fsttering for big crop In this great
preach growing State as it is to day says
the Milford Chronicle. The trees are in
good shape to produce the fruit and they
are hlled with buds on every little limb
and twlg Ten days or two weeks Of
warm spring like weather will be neces-
sary to bring them to state OF bursting
forth la full bloom, and in ten days or
two weeks the chances Of a white frost
coming to this section should have
passed.
There is nothing prettier any where to
be seen than a large peash orchsrd In
full bloom. For miles the eye can see
whole forests. as 1t were, of beautiful
pink flowers. and the sir Ia the section
is laden with their perfume From the
twentieth to the tlirtieth of the present
mouth is the tine Of blooming this year,
The cold Spring has kept the buds back
In average years the peach blooms in
THE section about April 16sh
In Milford and Cedar Greek hundeeds
there are over Eve hundred thousand
trees in bearing ia 1898 there were Eve
hundred and fifty thousand trees but
only about two-thirds of them matured
fruit This year all promise TO mature
full crop. The buds are simply in per
feet condition and such condition OF the
buds the tenth day OF April almost
assures a crop. In 1898 thirty seven
solidly loaded cars were shipped from
Milford In a single day aud for two
weeks twenty five cars or more went
every day. This too with Lincoln, but
three miles south and Houston but four
miles north
This year the crop promises to be
third larger than ia 1898 and IL this holds
good probably fifty or sixty cars In a
single day will be shipped this year
Should thesimmense crop promised break
the markets however, this would be- to
high an estimate, as growers would let
the fruit rot in the orchard rather than
ship and get nothiog la return. This
was the case Ia 1893 Thousands upon
thousands of fine peaches were allowed
to remsin upon the trees and rot there
and the same condition of aft airs may
come this year.
Those who handle the crop for the
growers, buy and ship 1t, are even now
arranging to distribute this seasons
crop as it was never shipped before. NJ
Il Prettyman is in correspondence " 'th
dealers as far away as Canada and the
Mississippi river He says the Ohio,
Kentucky and Michigan fruit is killed
and there will be a demand for Delaware
peaches this year from sgssctions that
usually get their supply from these
states. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will probably put on train to
reach st Louis and intermediate points
the second night. making the same time
that their express trainss do, and II this
is done the fruit will be distributed so
evenly that fair prices will prevail no
matter how large the crop
