fine cotton gin and is ginning cotton
right along, but he says he. thinks the
crop is at least ne-third short, he
will not gin more than half as many
bales this year as last. Talk about

joys that blessing, with his hogs, COWS,

than he hardly knows what to do

CALIFORNIA PEACH CROP
1T WILL HAVE LITTLE COMPE-
TITION.
the Outlook in Eastern
Peach Districts.

The New York ''Commercial'' says the
reports from all peach growing sec
tons are more or less diScoura ging.
Maryland growers say that while the
crop is not entirely ruined, the 'destruc-
ton has been so great that the product
of the entire State will hardly supply
home demands Late reports from the
southern portion are to the effect that
more fruit will be gathered than PEE
viously reported. 1t seems to be gener-
ally conceded that three-fifthS of the
peach trees of Maryland have been de-
stroyed.
In Missouri some Of the largest grow
ers have found that every tree was kill
ed. Reports from the entire State are
not available, but those that have been
received say that peach trees generally
are dead, and all orchards must be
practically replanted.
Last year Georgia shipped 1000 cars
of peaches. This year not a carload
will be sent from the State, and at a
late meeting of the Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION it was said that Georgia con-
sumers would have to buy for their
own use this season. The trees are rot
dead but are so injured that none bios
somed this spring.
In some parts of Pennsylvania the
crop will be a total failure. How seri-
ously the trees have been injured it is
impossible to say. but only a few have
blossomed- Some growers are inclined
to think that the injury is only tempo
rary, and that the trees will bear again
next year.
The Delaware crop will be a failure.
Last years yield was only 100000
baskets, compared with previous yields
of more than 100000 Very many of
the trees were killed. and all were so
badly frozen that no blossoms have ap-
peared.
Statements from Canadian growers
are more encouraging. 1t is said that
the Province of Ontario will send out
more peaches than ever before The
cold of February had less effect in the
far North than in the South.
j.. H. Hale. the prominent peach
grower of Connecticut, is quoted as say
ing that the yield of the country will
be scarcely half an average crop" and
he also says that it will take five years
before orchards can bear as freely as
they have for the past few years.
