south than this. We have also
learned through experience that it
is important to spray for both tree
diseases and insects.
Another very important feature
in peach culture is early cultiva-
ton. Just as soon as the sap be-
gins to flow we begin cultivating
and push the work Just rs long as
the fruit on the trees will permit.
After the fruit has been gathered
we do not cultivate except to SOW
some cover crop.
Where cultivation has been
given the trees after the fruit has
been gathered, it starts a new flow
of sap and weakens the buds and
very often causes them to fall of
during the winter and early spring.
We do not find any special advan
tage 10 the slope Of the land, but
we always find that the finest fruit
grows on the highest ground with
a good clay sub soil and good
drainage. We get an enormous
growth on low ground but the
fruit does not color up on account
Of dense foliage. We fertilize the
young trees the first year with
cotton seed meal or blood bone.
Prefer wood ashes to any other
kind Of fertilizer il they can be
had,
We are planting on an average
10000 trees per year, about 100
to the acre. A great many Of the
orchards have been rooted out on
account Of the unsatisfactory va
riety, and in a few instances neg
lect has been the means Of the or
chards being attacked by insects,
which caused their ruin.
We believe the peach culture in
this community will rapidly in.
crease and unquestionably prove a
permanent success. We have dem
onstrated that the life Oi'the peach
tree can be perpetuated for a pc
riOd Of from IL to Is years. HaVe
a nine\year old orchard Of Alber-
tas that is now bearing a good crop
and the trees are as healthy as any
Of the young orchards.
The lay Of the land and charac-
ter Of'the soil in the Gluckstadt
colony will warrant peach culture
on 9 large STALE and u~nquestion-
ably our German settlers will grow
peaches with a profit. There is
no objection to rich soil for peach
culture providing it is free from
rubbage and a good clay sub sOil

Peach Culture in Mississippi.

terest by hOmeseekers looking for
a mild climate in which peaches,
strawberries and all kinds Of vege-
tables may be grown successfully
and ~prO6tably:
Ridgeland, Miss, July II, 1905.
We commenced planting peach
trees in the spring Of 1898, but not
knowing what varieties we're best
adapted to this climate and section
Of the country, we planted several
that proved worthless for market
purposes. Consequently We have
been to considerable expense in
demonstrating just what varieties
are most profitable in this locality.
We have found through nine
years experience that the Alberta
is probably the best peach we can
grow here for all purposes. Next
to that we recommend the Carmen
and Greensboro. The Greensboro
ripens about June 4 to 10, the
Carmen 10Th to 25th and the AL
berta July 1 to 10.
During all our years Of expert
ence We have never failed to ma
ture a peach crop with one excep-
ton.
We are now cultivating under
our own management about III
acres Of these three varieties. We
are this year picking from about
20 acres and sold the crop +. 0. b.
track here for so cents for four
basket crate. These crates hold
about One.third bushel and the net
profit is about AZ cents per crate.
The cultivation, picking, packing
and cost OF crate amounts to Is
cents.
Most of our orchards are in five
and ten acre tracts. There are
about 500 acres being cultivated
in peaches in this community. On
a ten acre tract Of GreensbOros
this year we picked $50 crates.
These trees were two years old
last March. The crop sold for
1856, netting, after deduoting all
expenses, 1919 20. We are now
shipping the Alberta, and as the
season has just commenced, it is
impossible to give you exact fig
ures on any individual orchard.
We estimate that . ten acre tract

Roosevelt, today, In taking up national
supervision of insurance, is merely re-
echoing Jefferson Today all the great
er businesses are national in their
scope, but the law still assumes them
to be local; so instead of the big COR
porations which are all national in
their operations being incorporated by
some state and very often in a state
where they may never intend to Ope-
rate. The president now proposes that
these corporations be brought under
national control by having them in
corporated under new federal law
by the national congress instead of un-
der the state laws by the state legisla-
lures. There is no doubt that this is
perfectly logical proposition, but
whether the corporations who now can
protect themselves under the old states
rights doctrine will not prefer the pres
efif system III the nsW one 3 question:
able. 1t is considerably cheaper to
buy state legislature than it is to
buy congress, and then too state
charter has advantages over a national
charter anyway for ineorporat0rs who
want as. little supervision and control
as possible.
This country is run for the benefit Of
the corporations, andSit is doubtful It
even Roosevelt will ever change the
system of state control as long as the
corporations own the country.
Let the nation own the corporations
and then we may see something doing.
