VIII He Cut short.
Tyler, Texas, May 22.--The present out
leok for the peach crop is encouraging,
though the crop will be cut short. The
quality, however, 1t As thought, will be
excellent. 1t is not likely that over one
half the crop of last year will mature, as
much young tuit has been dwarfed and
killed by the late spring. Fruit shippers,
however, generally expect good prices for
the peaches, since the shortage in quantity
will increase the quality and likewise the
price.
The strawberry crop in this section has
been marketed, and 1t brought thousands
Of dollars to the farmer. Something near
thirty solid cars have been shipped North,
and when we estimate that each car con-
tanned approximately 600 crates twenty
four boxes to the crate or i32 600 boxes
OF Strawberries, the reader can very
quickly see the enormous proportions as
sumed by this new industry. Many straw

one right way.
Here is one right way. and unless A

way. Turn very narrow hem-a quarter
