THE LEADING PEACH STATE
Georgia Has That Distinction Accord
ing to Banker Of That State Who
Has Been Investigating.


A Georgia banker who has been in
vestigattng the status Of the peach in-
dustry of the country says:
Some kind friend, whose name has
eluded Us, sent lot of peaches to the
convention of the Georgia Bankers as
sociation. This reminds us that the
Georgia peach has held the lead in the
eastern market since 1902, and 1t Is
likely to be for years to come the lead
ing peach state in the union. The Sill
premacy has been wrested from Mary
land. Twelve years ago the order Of the
land, 100000 trees; Delaware, 4,52O,-
600; New Jersey, 100000; Georgia.
3,7OO,OO9.
'Since that time the peculiar excel
lence of soil and climate of parts of
Georgia for peach growing has been es-
tablished, with the result that Georgia
has largely increased the number OF its
peach-bearing trees, while in the other
states there has been diminution in
the number of trees. In the fall OF
1901, the number of peach trees report
ed in these states, and expected to be
in good bearing in 1902, was: Georgia,
7,660,0O0; Maryland, 4,O15,000; New
Jersey, 2,700,000; Delaware, 2,400,0OO. In
the following year accordingly Georgia
had the bumper crop. She has so far
surpassed all other states in number Of
trees that she Is likely to continue to be
the peach state par excellence for an in
definite time"

MATURITY OF THE AEfLE.
A Distinction Which Some Horticul-
turists Are Making in the Con-
dition Of the Fruit. "

Some of our horticulturists are max.
ing difference between the mature
apple and the ripe apple, though the
general public recognizes no such dis
tinction. We will let our horticultural
friends have their way, however. The
apple is mature when it has attained its
full growth. 1t is not ripe till it has
become mellow with the operations of
sunlight, heat and time. The mature
apple is in the best shape for picking.
II it be left on the tree till it is fully ripe
1t will be short keeper, while it it IL
picked at the time of maturity it will
keep for long time even under usual
farm conditions. AS different varieties
Of apples mature at different times it will
easily be seen that the mixed orchard is
hard one to keep track OF. The old
way OF harvesting was to begin to pick
the apples on certain date and then
take all as they came, the long keepers
and the short keepers, the mature apples
and the immature apples.
The mature apple is thing We have
to get acquainted with if We are to know
when it is mature If it is Ben Davis.
1t is mature very late, so late indeed
that in the vicinity of Wisconsin it gen.
orally has to be picked before it is ma
'ture This is the reason the Ben Davis
has lost its reputation with many peo-
pie. Having been picked before it was
mature it could not follow out the usual
processes Of ripening, and was always a
hard, poor favored apple. In regions
where it has had time to mature befo'e
picked it develops into fruit of good
flavor and texture, ripening naturally.
1t takes a study of fruits to Fnow
when each one natures, and this is a
subject that has up to the present time
received little attention. Men have
grown apples of certain varieties for q
long time and have never given the
question any consideration. The ma
turity of the apple is at last coming
in for its share of discussion, and the
light is beginning to shine in a dark
~place.-Farmers' Review.

SHORT TALK ON GRATING
Some Of the Underlying Principles Of
the Process-Good and Poor
Unions.

In the work of grating the nature Of
the union stock and scion is not very
generally understood. 1t is often 4
mooted question among those who make
a scientific study of pomology. A true
appreciation of the principles will prove
valuable in the practice of horticulture.
Some worthy and valuable research
along this line has been prosecuted at
the Massachusetts experiment station
under the leadership of Prof. F. A.
Waugh.
Prof Waugh speaks Of grating as
the union of scion with stock. In the
vast majority of cases the prime object,
in fact the sole object of grating is to
secure this union. The nature of the
