PEACH CULTURE.
Possibilities Of New England In This
Line.

Possibilities Of New England In This
Line.
Adm A. Hlxon, secretary Of the.
Worcester County Horticultural socie-
", recently delivered lecture before
the Massachusetts Horticultural socie-
" on the subject of "The Possibilities
Of Peach Growing In New England"
a theme of much importance to or
chardists. Some Of the principal points
as reported in American Cultivator are
here given:
A man starting peach growing would
do well to notice what is being done
in his neighborhood and be governed
somewhat by local growers as to varie-
ties to grow. believe in the possibili-
ties of New England in many things,
especially peach growing. l think these
men who are putting so much time and
money into the production Of milk
would find 1t much more profitable and
enjoy life much better if they devoted
their time and energy to peach grow
ing.
Location to Select.
An important consideration in peach
culture on a large scale is the selection
Of location, one not affected by late
frost in the spring or early frost in the
fall, one where the buds will be the
least likely to start early in the spring.
The influence of climatic and atmos-
phelfc conditions has much to do
with all vegetable growth, especially
peaches Extreme cold is not as bad
as extreme changes, especially when
wet. Sometimes large ponds or rivers
have a beneficial effect as well as ele-
vations near the salt water. In all
cases plant the trees on elevated
ground, with a northerly or westerly
slope.
Soil For the Peach.
For soil the peach viii adar itself to
almost any kind. The best soil is a
sandy loan rich in vegetable matter.
1t viii do remarkably we'll on stony
soils Very rich soils produce too much
wood. The peach does well on rocky
or ledgy side hills that are almost
worthless for anything else. Land with
much vegetable growth on It would be
benefited by good dressing Of lime
before plowing and another before har.
rowing. I know Of one orchard n
gravelly knobs where the wood had
been cut Off, the brush burned, then
holes dug and trees planted. They are
dug around every spring, fertilizer ap-
piled, the brush cut twice a year and
allowed to rot on the ground. The
trees do not make as much wood as
some, but otherwise are very satisfac-
tory.

FORT RAN BEHIND
WAS CUT IN EAST ORANGE,
HIS HOME CITY.
His Majority There Was 1851, Much
Less Than the Leaders
Expected.

The vote in East Orange was not thor
oughly pleasing to the Republican leaders.
John Franklin Fort received a majority
of 2,ee1. The Republican leaders had fig
ured that he would receive a majority of
5000, but a larger one was really looked
for.
Mr.. Fort ran behind John B. Woolston,
Republican candidate for county clerk,
and was cut quite heavily In several dis
~tricts, and ran somewhat behind the AS
sembly candidates.
Apathy was shown In several parts OF
the city. and heroic sneasures were re-
sorted to by the Republicans in an effort
to get out a large vote. and automobiles
were used In every ward.
When Edward c. Stokes ran for Gov
ernor in 1904 he received Alps votes in
East Orange, n Charles G. Black, who
l ,27S votes. The vote at that time for
Stokes was as follows: First Ward, 2S2
and 242; Second Ward, AS and 1926; Third
Ward, $40, 263 and S44; Fourth Ward, 54t
There were fewer districts In 1904 than
at the present time.

was that all the vote could not be gotten

PARK FOR IRYTNGTON
COMMISSION TO PURCHASE
is ACRES FOR $4,000.
Site Known as Jackson Tracts Sit
uated on Knoll-Will Need
Improvements.

Irvington is to ave a public park Of
sixteen acres as soon as land. negotiations
for the purchase of which were concluded
by the Essex County Park Commission
yesterday afternoon, can be made suitable
for a public recreation centre. The prop
erty will cost the commission $4,000, and
the title will be passed November II.
For about two years the park board
has been trying to get property for de-
velopment in this section, but has had
difficulty in securing a suitable tract at a
price that warranted its purchase. Re-
Gently the offer accepted yesterday was
rendered by Philip N. Jackson, who WINS
the whole tract. The figure was much
lower thar that at which adjacent proper
ties are valued.
At the board meeting yesterday all
members Of the commission, except former
Goernor Murphy. who is confined to his
home with an aillng knee, were present.
Sentiment was unanimously in favor OF
tho purchase, but no plans for develop
ment came up for discussion.
The Jackson tract, It is said, will need
a lot of landscape gardening. Some time
ago the Park Commission had John c.
Olmstead, an expert. come from Brook
line, Mass, and make an examination OF
the property. He may be asked to sub
nit plans for its identifying.
A solitary apple tree that appears about
ready to topple Ger, at present constitutes
the only shade In the prospective park.
A part of the tract was used some time
ago for a golf course. 1t is situated on a
high knoll. 200 feet above tidewater and
commands a view across a wide valley to
the Orange Mountains. The view looking
the other way toward Newark is not so
embraslve. Location Of the property is
but an eight an eighth Of a mile from the
centre of the old town of Irvington, is a
mile northwest of the nearest park prop
erty, West Side Park, and two miles north
of Weequahic reservation. Grove street
borders 1t on the east, May street on the
north, and Augusta street on the west,
while the south boundry is formed by a
tract belonging to Elizabeth Hollemar.

FORT GETS RETURNS
CONFIDENCE OF VICTORY
NEVER WAVERED.
Receives Cheers and Congratulations of
Numerous Friends at His
East Orange Home.

John franklin Fort received the returns
from all over the State in his home at So
North Arlington avenue, surrounded by
members of his family and many friends.
When the returns seemed to show that
Mr.. Katzenbach would be elected by a
small majority Mr.. Fort, nevertheless, in
sisted that he would himself win out.
Shortly after 4 o'clock this morning Mr..
Fort turned to those who stood beside him
In the parlor and exclaimed:
well, we can all go to bed and sleep
peacefully, for I will win by a majority
of between 5000 and 10000"
Shortly before 8 o'clock a delegation
from the Fort Campaign Club, headed by
Mayor William Cardwell and City Clerk
Lincoln e. Rowley marched over to Mr..
Forts home, and this call awakened the
neighborhood:
''Three cheers for John Franklin Fort,
Governor of New Jersey. By the grace of
God free and independent
After the cheers had been given all
hands marched into the house and were
treated to sandwiches and coffee while the
reports were being received.
The returns were first received at the
rooms of the campaign club, in Main
street, and at 2 o'clock this morning about
$50 people were in the hall. Earlier in the
evening there were about 100 more people
present, including many women.
Mr.. Rowley had arranged to get the city
reports in early, and shortly after Z
o'clock they began to arrive. The vote
was a disappointment, but in spite Of that,
enthusiasm was shown. John b. Wool
ston was in the room, and received a
warm reception when 1t was seen that he
was the high man on the ticket.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock George A. Grover,
who defeated Alden Freeman for the
City Council In the Fourth Ward, came
In, and was loudly cheered. job Leonard
Merrill also dropped in and was likewise
treated. Mr.. Merrill was a popular candi-
date, and ran high on the ticket.
About midnight word was received that
a brass band was being sent to East Or
ange to go to Mr.. Forts house, and many
remained to take part in the parade. But
the members of the band got lost some-
where and did not materla1ize.

In no instance did the Democratic party
land an office in Iryington yesterday, but
the gains made by them on the State
ticket in that Republican stronghold are
regarded as constituting little short of a
victory. That there is a spirit of unrest
aboard in the local Republican camp is
evident by the way the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate ran ahead of his
ticket.
In local affairs there was little Of inter
est. The much predicted Democratic vic
tory for the Third Ward Councilman
failed to materialize by a big margin,
and Councilman Ernest Boerger returns
for another two years. The contest in the
First Ward was more interesting, but not
as close as was expected. for Councilman
Albert u. Webb had twenty votes to the
good and was at no time in danger.
August L. Lacombe returns to represent
the Second Ward.
The election, as a whole, was dull, with
many of the voters. at home, and in no
Instance were the hopes of many that
