Huneh From Washington.

A "hunch" is said to have come from
Washington that the permanent organI-

completed by nightfau. so that the
Thursday session could be devoted en-

naming the candidates.

the temporary organization permanent.
Senator Lodge, the permanent chair
man, then would deliver his keynote"
speech. and a recess would be ordered
until Thursday.
The reason that the committee on
credentials did not adhere 10 its first
plan OF Tatifying without hearing the
original delegate lists OF the national
committee. became known today.
Washington again stepped in. Word
came from there that for the sake OF
party regularity, brief hearings should
be given. In the twenty-five Alabama
districts 1t was held that the regular
organization controlled the convention.

denied representation, but in support

LOCAL PEACH FACTS

A most Interesting article concern
ing the wonderful value of peach
lands in Colorado is given publication
from the pen of Prof. w. Paddock, of
the state agricultural college, but he
fails to make the statement that the
lands he refers to are in. and the
figures he has compiled are from.
Mesa county. The article follows:
Have Colorado peach orchards act
ually been sold for $1,000 an acre?
Yes; and to man who was thor
oughly acquainted with the business
and with the locality. This is an un-
usual price, however; but sales at
prices ranging from $1,000 TO $4,000
are common in the vicinity of PaIi-
sade, and a good bearing peach or
chard in a good location is always
worth $1,000 an acre. These are not
boom prices, but are based upon the
productive capacity of the orchards.
Raw land that is known to be To-
Gated in good peach growing sections
comes high. In other sections where
the crop is a little less sure. on ac-
count of the likelihood of occasional
frosts, lands are cheaper. And in
some cases good peach lands are
cheaper, because of remoteness from
railroads. lack of development of the
locality. and similar reasons In the
former case, prices will usually range
from $3.50 10 $500 an acre. In The
latter. from 500 to $500 an acre.
Many people receive splendid in

ten acres may yield a moderate com
potency.
The cost of growing an orchard up
20 the full bearing age will vary from
800 to $50 an acre. II will be seen
from these figures that IA man with
small means may undertake to grow
n peach orchard. and where he can

outlay is much reduced. He should.

horses. and suitable tools Vege-
tables and small fruits may be grown
between the rows of trees the first
three years. and in an established
fruit district there is always a great
amount of work to be had at good
wages.
Peach trees begin to bear when
three years old, and they produce
large crops at the age of six years.
One instance is at hand where four
and one-half acres of Elberta peaches
brought gross return of $3.50 an
acre the third season after planting
When in full bearing. gross returns
of from $1,000 to $1,000 an acre
