FEW PEACHES,
Special Agent Mills Thinks There VIII
Be Little of the Fruit on the PEN
lnSula This Year.

Special Agent |. n. Mills. of the philadel-
phla, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad.
has made his estimate of the peach crop, and
his prediction is that the crop of 1897 will be
almost total failure.
This announcement is quite surprise. as
several weeks ago there was prospect for Il
moderate crop. But the peaches have nearly
all iaiIen from the trees. The "June dropn
TINS season is the heaviest in the history of
peach culture on the Peninsula.
The frosts of tho early spring damaged the
peaches, but still there was prospect Of Il good
crop. Most of the damage this season was
done by the curculio, ard whenever it stings
peach it is sure to fall. Mr.. Mills noticed
IN an orchard near Seaford, Del. Il peach
with l3 stngs, and this orchard is no excep-
tion.
Mr.. Mills says that the curculio plague is
directly attributable to the fact that the peach
growers, last year and in 1895, left the culls
and fallen fruit under the trees to breed the
pests, instead of feeding all such fruit to hogs
or burning it, as is done every year by Cali
fornia peach growers, who are never troubled
by the insects.
The following is the estimate as furnish "a
by the agents along the lines Of the Delaware
railroad and branches to Mr.. Mills. This, he
thinks, is too high by from one third to one
half:
