THE PROFITS
IN ORCHARDS

As many owners of land are thinking
| of planting fruit trees this fall, the
following taken from the correspond
ence of Professor H. \. Surface, of
the department of agriculture, Harris
burg, State zoologist, will be read by
them with interest
a professional man of Chambersburg
wrote for information concerning the
planting of an orchard, and among
other things contained in his letter
was the following:
My soil is specially adapted to the
peach, but apples also do very well and
have the advantage of longer season
of harvesting. My professional duties
render it almost impossible for me to
take the time to handle and care for a
peach orchard and crop as it should be
done, and | do not want to plant IA
single tree that feel | shall not have
time to give some personal attention.
In other words, | would rather have
five hundred apple trees well cared for
than five thousand neglected. "
The professors reply was as fol
lows:
Il acknowledge your letter of recent
date, concerning your orchard plant
ing,and can say that it will be a good
plan to plant your apple trees IS or 10
feet apart, and also plant peach trees
half way between them as filters.
Your peach crop will more than pay
for the cost of planting, and after get
ting about three fruit crops from these
trees you will be entirely independent
ON that score, and Will have one or two
of the crops rs entirely clear gain.
Then you can well afford to cut out
the peach trees, and the apple trees
Will come into profitable bearing and
be really improved in every respect by
having received the treatment that
peach and apple trees need while they
will get more profit from an acre plant
ed in peach than from two acres in
apple trees, although must admit that
if not given good attention the peach
will not endure nearly as long as the
apple; but even the apple trees will
not be profitable in this State if negl-
ected. We must count with certainty
on their getting San Jose scale sooner
or later, and thus the only thing to do
is to be prepared for an extensive war
fare to control this pest Il agree with
you that it is much better to have
small orchard, well cared for than "A
larger one neglected. AS to whether
you grow apples or peaches, or both,
will depend upon your own inclination
in the matter, but your only trouble
as to successful fruit growing will be
the care of the orchard, with the pay
ing of special attention to the suppress
sion Of pests. If you need help in this
direction, we shall be glad to give
it. "

JAMES WAS A
GENEROUS MAN

Since the death of Howard James,
the Anthony township huckster, who
died last week leaving two wives and
two families, many things have come
to the notice of the public about this
remarkable man which before were
not generally known.
There are few people outside of q
little community in the upper end of
Montour county who know that the
Evangelical church, on the county line
road between Exchange and Turbot-
willie is really a lasting monument TO
Howard James generosity and relig
ious zeal. The church was built ON
his farm on land which he gave. He
was responsible for the Evangelical
ministers going to that section and
later was the heaviest contributor to-
ward the erection of the church.
Later when split came in the Evan
gelical churcl. he bought the church
outright and gave it to the faction in
whose control it now is. The church
has always been known rs James

TWO FAST GAMES

THE DEER HUNTERS

= No tidings have as yet been receiv-
ed from any of our deer hunters who
left Saturday to indicate that they are
meeting with success.
One of our tOwnsman, an experience
ed hunter, who little later will take
n trip to the White Deer Mountains,
yesterday explained that without a
tracking snow it is almost impossible
to meet with success With the army
of hunters in the field one would think
IA good many deer ought to be shot re-
gardless of conditions But very few
people, the gentlemen explains, have
an adequate idea of what the deer
hunter, who tramps over the noun
tains, is really up against. He is oblig-
ed to crawl through "A growth of bush
er and underbrush, often as high as
his head, which not only makes his
progress slow and laborious, but also
conceal the deer or enables it to make
its escape, if observed. The deer are
sagacious and crafty beyond what most
people imagine possible and even, if
there is tracking snow, their instinct
enable them in many instances to out
wit the hunter.
