mated that the yield could not be less than
1900 bushels. I offered the deacon $1,000
cash In hand. but he shook his head. Then
I went up $3.50, and finally made the figures
1880. That was 81 a bushel. and the pick

the deacon. after scratching his head for a

the buyer, ''and so the matter was on. I
heard from the orchard just as the trees
we're covered with young peaches and about
that time a drouth set In and things began
TO burn. There wasn't a smell OF rain for
six weeks and there wasn't a peach that
wasn't baked and shriveled and dried until
you couldn't tell what It was. The 500
trees didn't yield i've eatabie peaches.
