ALONG THE W. MD. RAILROAD.
Possibilities in Peach and Apple Growing
Wheat Prospects.

Prof. Willis G. johnson, State Entomolo-
gist, in recent letter to Col John NJ. Hood,
pEesideat Of Western Maryland Railroad
Company, said
s'We have been making some special in
vestigations in the vicinity of Union Bridge
along the line of your road, and we are very,
glad TO report that there are some very fine
and promising young peach orchards in the
vicinity, which are coming into bearing the
first time this year. We desire to stale that
there is a large area in that section adapted to
the cultivation of the peach, and we feel GER
tain that there will be good crop this sea-
son, and that many others will be induced to
plant orchards for commercial purposes when
they see the quality and quantity of fruit taken
from the young orchards this season.
There is also good opening for the Guilt
vatIon of the apple in that section, especially
the varieties Ben Davis, York Imperial and
Smith Cider
1--WE are also glad 10 report that the wheat
crop along the line of your railroad was, per-
haps, never in better general condition at this
season than it is at this iime-April %. Some
few growers have had some little difficulty
with the Hessian fly, but as rule good farm
ers are now following the advice we have
given them about planting wheat to avoid the
attacks of this insect, and as consequence
all through Western Maryland the paintings
were later last fall.
