Against the trellised walls the roses
lean,
The gloria her cheeks of amber
turns
To greet the sun, whose crimson fer

In Henrietta's blush, behind the green

The snow-white buds; the ravished

Where sweet La Marques long
pointed leaves, like ferns
In dropping festoons swing. But, ali!
Between
The breeze-swayed vines and perfume
breathing flowers

To me more dear than rose encircled

A maid more bright than those by

In Flora's train. l haste, with eager

And press the blooms aside, my love

LOWTHER ADVISES
FRUIT GROWERS
Points Out The essen to be Learned
From the Trees Cut Down on The
johnson Ranch Recently.

"Growers who fear that their peach
trees were killed by the freeze of last
winter should hesitate before cutting
down these trees" writes DR.. Gran
vile Lowther, editor of The Wash
ington Fruit Grower of North Yaki-
ma. He says that some valuable les
sons may be taken from old peach
trees recently cut down on II. S.
Johnson's ranch, near North Yakima,
adding:
"In this orchard there were a num-
Der of peach trees dug up last winter
to prepare the ground for the plant
ing Of a larger orchard In saving
them into wood it was discovered that
they were solid and sound at the root
and for few inches above the ground
but that further up the trunk of the
tree the wood in the center of the
tree was decayed. At first this fact
attracted little attention, but on closer
examination it was found that this
was true of all the trees examined
and that there must have been a COM
mon cause affecting all the trees alike.
On counting the rings it was found
that there were in each and every
tree examined the same number of
rings between the bark and the de-
cayed wood. The rings numbered A.
All botanists know that tree in
growing forms a ring for each and
every year of growth. This being
true, it was IA years since the heart
of the tree, or woody substance, be-
gen to decay.
"On inquiry, we found that the old
settlers remember a freeze that was,
for this country, exceedingly severe
about IA years ago. Some of these
old settlers say it was 10 years ago,
some IA years and some Is years ago.
One man said it was 16 years ago.
and each and every man has his proof
in support of his contention. The rec
ords in the rings of the tree say IA
years ago, and it is not a matter of
memory; it is a matter of record of
tree building.
THE trees in question, according
to the rings, are 20 years old. The
wood of six years growth, according
to the records, was frozen and is de-
cayed more or less. The wood of
later growth is well preserved and
became the support of the tree, en-
aiding it to bear its top and heavy
crops of fruit.
"Some of the rings were much
thicker than others, showing that the
growth was not of the same proper
ton each year. Counting from the
center, six rings were more or less
decayed and six showed a vigorous
growth. Perhaps the most vigorous
of any was the twelfth year, when
the twelfth ring was formed. The
next four rings formed combined
were not larger than that formed the
twelfth year. Why was this true?.
ION making inquiry it was found
that at that time the orchard was
seeded to blue grass. The blue grass
has done its work, has written its his
tory and the record it leaves US says,
If you want your peach trees to
grow vigorously do not seed the
ground to blue grass This command

into a lease with a fish dealer, or an as
socation of fish dealers, TO operate a
sanitary fish and oyster market. Your
committee has reason to believe that
either of these methods would improve
the sanitary condition and at the same
time produce adequate revenue from
this source. which they do not believe is
being obtained from the present lessee"
Anacostia River Wharfage.
The wharf committee sees much oppor-
tunity for development of wharves along
the Anacostia river. Speaking of this
frontage the committee says:
This frontage is largely undeveloped,
owing to the uncertainty regarding the
ownership of the abutting land and RI
parian. rights. In the District appropTia-
ton act for 1919 an appropriation was
made for the employment Of special
counsel to investigate these matters. and
the Commissioners have taken action
toward the employment of this counsel.
In the meantime leases have been en-
tered into with various persons for that
portion of the frontage regarding whicn
there is no doubt as to the ownership
of the United States. This is at points
where the streets of the city extend to
the water.
THE United States has dredged chan
Potomac river to the navy yard. and it
is believed that when the question of the
ownership of the land Is settled valu-
able water frontage will be AFFORDED
here. One permit has been granted pri-
vate parties to construct wharf along
the water frontage of square IOS. but pro-
vision was made in the permit that there
was no waiver Of the rights OF the United
States in the event that 1t should be sub
sequently determined that no private
riparian rights exist along this frontage.
''The removal of the old Anacostia
bridge will add to the frontage along
this river available for leasing purposes.
James Creek Canal Frontage.
OF the wharves along the James Creek
canal the commission declares that the
frontage is commercially valuable and
there is no difficulty in leasing 1t. The
committee believes that the canal should
be open for navigation below N street. the
canal wall extended and the canal dredeed
and kept open by some means. lin order
to afford wharfage facilities which, under
existing conditions, are necessary for TAX
ing care Of the commerce of the city.
The report says that the actual water
frontage of the District, with the eXcep-
ton of canals. devoted to commerce is
about two miles. The total availa Bile
water frontage practicable. of commercial
development, exclusive of canals, Is about
eighteen miles: and Of that about eight
miles have been set apart for parks and
purposes of the United States.
Practically the only available CONNER
cial water frontage. the report sets forth,
is on the Washington channel.
There have been some improvements
in the wharves and structures made to
this property during the year by the
lessees and some further Improvement is
now In prOgreSS.' continues the report.
''The general condition, however, along a
great portion of the frontage is one of
dilapidation, and an improvement in the
appearance of the wharf structures Is
much needed.
