in the agricultural counties should be
exempted from taxation, as they could
be under the Australasian tax system,
and the entire burden Of raising the

fhe farmers would be taxed many times
more than they are at present. In
many instances this would compel them

Kansas City Packer.
New York. Oct. lS.--The recent inves
LEGATIONS OF the cold storage of caches
which have been spoken Of from time to
time in Tho Packer, and which have
been carried on by the U. s. Agricul-
tursl department. with g. Harold Pow
ell. assistant pomologist, in charge.
have proven beyond doubt that lin
tied amount OF peaches can bs exported
with profit.
For weeks Mr.. Powell carried on his
experiments. most OF the time at the
cold storage plant Of p. Berry l. Sons,
Of Hartford, Conn. In the early expe.
hments Georgia fruit was used, being
shipped in cold storage from the orch
ard to New York, where Mr.. Powell
took charge OF it, placing some in the
cold storage house at Jersey City, und
the balance exporting 10 European
markets.
Regard the success Of the expert.
ments, Mr.. Powell. who was in New
York recently. said to the Packer mani
We are extremely well satisfied with
the results OF our Investigations this
summer, aud these experiments which
will be highly profitable to growers and
dealers OF peaches in all parts OF the
country have proven several things to
our entire satisfaction. In my invest-
cations this year discovered that it
was not advisable to keep peaches in
cold storage longer than thirty days
under any consideration; while the
temperature may be favorable and the
peaches come out with fne market
able appearance. yet it will take only
few hours in the open air to start de
composition. Another thing / discov
cred was that peaches that are intended
for cold storage. should bs wrapped in
soft paper. packed in close package
and placed in a temperature Of 30 de
grees Immediately upon being picked.
II the temperature in the ice house is
not 80 degrees, 1t should be re Iuced as
rapidly as possible.
There has been an opinion among
quite number Of peach dealers that
better results can be gotten out OF
slightly green fruit; this is not so. be-
cause the fruit will not color in cold
storage, so that to put up pressntabIe
appearance, the peaches should be fully
colored before being put away. In TAX
ing the peaches out Of storage, I noted
particularly how long certain fruit
which had been kept in q certain de
gree OF temperature would keep before
beginning to decay. which again proved
TO me that cold at 81 degrees was the
proper temperature in which TO store
the fruit. In taking the peaches out at
higher temperature 1t was learned
that they would not keep over "A hours,
but in cases where the temperature bad
been held down to 81 degrees. the
peaches kept we'll for 4s hours in the
open air. l wish 10 say. too. that ma
ture peaches. those that are fully ripe.
can be placed in storage with better
results than those which are not quite
ripe when picked.
There is one other item which next
season ! will devote great deal OF at
tention 10, and that is how to fully pre-.
serve the luscious taste OF the fruit.
The peach in storage does not lose very
much Of its flavor. but it is not quite as
good ns it was when first picked be-
| lieve that the conditions Of air circula-
ton and moisture may probably solve
the question; however, We will give il q
fair test next year.

A proposition has been introduced

OF about half fare to all the Eastern
seaside resorts in order to compete
with the cheap rates which will be in
force to Western resorts. In the main
the proposition has not been favor
ably received by lines in the asso-
citation and a meeting of the joint pas
senger committee has been called for
March % at New York to consider the
question further. Western passenger
men are alarmed at the attitude Of
the Fasteners and are threatening to
refuse to accept the rates for basing
purposes If offered to them.
