Flood Situation Desperate.

Aurora, Ind, Jan. 23.-Though the
river has fallen four inches since
Monday the flood conditions are des-
perate. Citizens are huddled in camps
on the higher ground or crowded into
the schoolhouses, opera house and
city hall. Scarlet fever has broken
out among the refugees from the
lower part Of the city and it is feared
that because Of the unsanitary sur.
roundings the disease will spread.

Ohio River at Cincinnati Still Above
Danger Line. - - :. ~. -. - 80

Cincinnati, Jan. 23.-The river con-
tinued it's slow recession during the
night and at a. m. had gone down to
CAS-, a drop Of more than half foot
from the crest. Guards were on watch
all night at all points along the river
to give warning of any threatened
damage to buildings and there was no
cessation in the work of relief. It will
be several days before the river gets
below the danger line and the posi-
bility of property damage will not even
then be over, as the weakened condi-
ton Of structures along the river
front will make them particularly liza
BILE to collapse.
Mayor Dempsey during the after
noon issued orders to the police to
confiscate food and fuel where needed
for relief and where dealers attempt
to extort unreasonable prices for such
necessities. This action was taken
because Of numerous reports of extor-
tionate charges for transportation and
for relief supplies. Those attempting
extortion will be arrested.

There are 1000 homeless people

The Best Peaches for Florida.

Mr.. w. S. Reeve, of Cottage Hill
Fla, comments as follows on an ar
ticle by Mr.. w. D. Grifing, of this
city, in the Southern Fruit Grower
for November, which will doubtless
be interesting to the Agriculturist
family, and especially those who are
interested in peach culture
In your November issue, the ques-
ton is raised as to the variety of
peach for the vicinity of Century:
Fla, and answered by Mr.. Griffing,
advising the Honey type, as against
the liberia and Others
With all regard for Mr.. Grif6ng's
acknowledged ability as Judge in
such matters, it is hard to see why a
State line Gall the difference there is
between West Florida and South
Alabama and Georgia) should figure
in it.
That some parties near DeFuniak
Springs, after putting out their trees
went Wild on tobacco and let the
borers and white scale take their
trees, should be no more in favor
of the Honey peach or against the
Chinese than that the ability of the
pear to live without attention or fer
tilizer, causing many to abandon their
liberia orchards here for it, should
brand the latter a failure.
Century is within one mile of the
State line; this point is twenty-five
miles further SOUTH
The crates of Elbertas that were
sent to President Mckinley, and that
were advertised throughout the North
as having been grown in the famous
Georgia peach belt" were grown just
south of here The writer has liberia
and Belle of Georgia trees ten years
old, which averaged last summer four
bushels each of fine fruit, and also
one Alexander at least ten years old

grown fruit from Illinois to Califor-

MIA, recently remarked that had he
put out Elbertas here twelve years
ago, instead of the ones that he did.
and then attended to them instead
of going pear wild, he now could have
been touring the country in parlor
car.
Inasmuch as the peach seems to
be claiming immediate attention IN
this region, it seems but fair that the
liberia should have it's fair show, and
all who know of it seem inclined to
stand by it. The only Improvement
they want on it would be its ability
to fight the borer and white scale
without effort on their part
Following the above Mr.. Edgar A.
Haaf, who seems to have started the
discussion says:
l note in The Southern Fruit Grow
er for November, a reply from Mr.
w. D. Grihing to my inquiry as to
the varieties of peaches suitable to
northwest Florida. I believe there
must be some misapprehension here
and that Mr. Grif6ng's structures on
liberia, Carman and Waddell are in
tended for eastern and central Flor
ida.

mended varieties from various sec
tons and I will be likely to know

ton and [ know of an orchard of
Elbertas which must be five or six
years old, and they showed no sign
of dying out when I saw them last
June.

The form of phosphate acid may BIZ

ing in mind that the demand of the
tree will be met by the less soluble
forms. Floats, bone meal, tannagt
and Thomas Stag are all satisfactory
supplies. Indeed, the orchard is one
of the places where the latter gives
full returns, and, if obtainable, i:
probably the most economical source
of phosphoric acid
In the matter Of potash the treat
ment of the young orchard shoule
radically differ, in two respects, from
the practice followed with the bearine
orchard
The demand of the fruit is proper
tlonally greater for potash, and this
material possesses a we'll recognized
influence on the quality, flavor anc
coloring of the fruit. The potash sup.
ply should, therefore, be materially
greater for the bearing orchard thar
for the young trees.
Perhaps of even more importance
this fact is the possibility of using a
different form of potash. For fruit
production, only the use of sulphate
Of potash is permissible For the
young orchard, however, before the
bearing age is reached, the muriate
of potash is equally servicable. II
has the advantage of being consider
ably cheaper. This means that young
trees should be supplied with potash
in the form Of the muriate; the bear
ing trees need the sulphate.
Another relation of potash toward
new young trees demands condition
Its Importance comes from the liber-
al use of nitrogen recommended for
forcing rapid growth of wood, and
early bearing. This very rapidity OF
growth may become a source of dam
ger if not properly guarded. 1t leads
to soft, immature, green wood. This
condition is easily counteracted by
balancing the excess of nitrogen with
the proper proportion of potash
which ripens and hardens the wood
The matter of proportions and guam
titles remains for consideration
Made from the materials already re-
commended, the following proportions
supply the entire needs for the young
peach tree. Phosphoric acid, 6; nitro
gen, 3; potash, 8 per cent One pound
per tree would be the commendable
first application, hoed in at the time
tree is planted. Until the first COM
mercial crop is reached the applica-
ton should be increased one pound
per tree annually The same increase
should then continue until bearing
is reached, but the nitrogen should

Fertilizing of Young Fruit Trees.

Stockbridge:
The tree setting season is at hand
Tens of thousands of peach trees
will be put out during the next 90
days. The preliminary and early fer
tilizing of these trees will largely con-
troll their proftableness. The ques-
ton of fertilizer treatment is, there
fore, important. 1t stands next to
the selection of location and kind of
trees.
This fact was nearly lost sight of
in the setting of the first great COM
mercial orchards To day no ques-
ton is more frequently asked by pros
pective orchardists than this: How
should my trees be fortified to be
brought into early bearing without
impairing their productivity and
length of life? In attempting to an
swer this question, the first point to
be fixed in mind, and one too frequent
ly neglected, is this: The young tree,
is living, growing thing. Its adult
usefulness must depend very largely
on its care, training and development
The man who knows that the calf, colt
Or boy once stunted is forever hamp-
cred and restricted in future develop
ment, too often forgets to apply the
old adage: ''As the twig is bent the tree
lncl1nes." Practical illustration of
this truth is found in the we'll known
result of picking the blossoms from
young apple trees in the full-crop
years that they may develop the bear
ing tendency on the alternate short
crop years.
Fruit bearing is the natural func-
ton Of the tree. Self perpetuation is
the strongest trait of every living
thing, plant or animal The animal
or plant must, however, develop to
the stage of reproduction The tree
must make wood before it can make
fruit. Before bloom and fruit are
possible, trees must be grown, trees
capable Of supporting and maturing
full crops of fruit
The Importance of this fact lies in
the difference between the compost
ton and fertilizer requirements of
wood and fruit The fertilizing of the
young peach tree should be primarily
directed toward providing the wood,
the tree, on which the crop of fruit
is to be borne.
Tree making should be the first OBJ
ject of the orchardist Tree making
material should constitute the fertili-
zer for the young trees. The matter
of fertilizing fruit should follow when
the time of fruit production arrives.
The distinction is as natural, and
the practice as essential to the best
results, as the distinction made be-
tween the feeding of growing pigs
and of fattening hogs
The long season of growth, and
many years of feeding, have impor-
tant bearing on the proper fertilizing
of all trees. The immediate bearing
of this fact is the smaller necessity
for quickly available plant food. This
means that in fertilizing peach or
chards, comparatively slow acting and
cheap forms of nitrogen and phos-
