Robert Durham, 1,500; d. J. Smith,
1900 The yield amounts to 10,700
baskets
Mr.. Merriam said that his crop would
have been about 5000 baskets but for
the late frosts, which killed the buds,
especially those of the young trees.
He has seventyflve acres of young trees
not yet in bearing. The other growers,
perhaps, together have seventy-five
acres more, so that in a few years the
peach crop of Southington Mountains
Will be one of the most important in
the state,
The Connecticut Valley company's
orchard in Berlin Is the largest In this
section. Manager Molumphy said this
morning that its crop at Berlin was es-
timated at from 10000 to $4,000 bas-
kets. About 10000 trees are in bearing
or in part bearing this year This
would represent about fifty acres, as he
estimates about 200 trees to the acre
There are besides in the orchard Is, 900
trees not in bearing. About fifty acres
of these are young trees, the other
twenty-five acres Of bearing trees but
the frosts entirely killed the buds.
There are $50 acres Of fruit at the or
chard which includes apples, peaches,
plums, cherries, grapes. etc
At their Deep River orchard the
peach crop is estimated at 1000 to 5000
baskets, There are about 5000 trees
C. A. Blair of Newington has an or
chard of between 1000 and 1000 young
trees which will bear this year for the
first time. The apple crop will be very
large. J. Fl. Merriam says that he will
have 1000 barrels of Baldwin apples.
He had over 1000 barrels last year
The Berlin orchard of the Connecticut
Valley Orchard company will have
1000 to 5000 barrels of apples, while

Charles B. Cross Passing His Last Days
Reading-Wlll be Executed o-Mor-
row.
Hartford, July 18.-Cross, the con-
yicted murderer, who Is to be executed
on Friday morning, is passing the last
days of his life as quietly in his cell
at the state prison as if the shadow Of
death was not overhanging him. He
reads nearly everything that is brought
to his CELL and this includes, besides
his Bible, an average Of at least two
books each week from the prison libra
~. To Deputy Warden Baisden, who
is his principal keeper, he presents the
same unperturbed manner which he has
always borne during his imprisonment,
and he has never in his conversation
with him referred to the crime which
he committed.
Cross realizes fully the serious posi-
ton that he is in, and, knowing that
there is no hope for reprieve, he is ready
to meet his fate. He has borne his i'm
prisonment philosophically, and prison
fare has agreed with him. He now
weighs 143 pounds, having gained
twenty-five pounds since his incarcera-
ton.
