Peaches.

Dover News.
Delaware will continue to grow peaches.
We have known for some time that Della
ware has some peach orchards in fairly
good shape but the impression has gone
out that peach-g growing on the peninsula
is as much a dead letter as it now is in
New Castle county.
Happily for all at this time, we are en-
lightened by a very careful and accurate
report Of peach conditions on this penin-
suIa prepared by w. b. Dawson Of Cam
bridge. who is a good horticulturist and a
good looking man with It,
Mr.. Dawson and his committee Of the
Peninsula Horticultural Society has his
report ready for printing in the year book
Of that society to be issued next month.
II gives us fresh courage as we think of
the matchless Delaware peach of the past
and think Of our JOY when some Of these
are handed 10 US TO slice in a saucer of
cream.
After admitting that there are now only
forty-three per cent OF the trees OF ten
years ago on the peninsula Chairman
Dawson also admits that san Jose scale,
which can be easily conquered; "Yellows,
the only remedy for which is tho axe; and
Little Peach" have added much 70 the
discouragement in peach culture Then he
very ably concludes:
"Yet It should be remembered that our
soil has been improved during recent
years, and our climate remains the same
because It cannot be improved upon). anc
by using up-to-date methods q we car
grow, as we always have done. the best
peaches in the world.
1T is up to the individual. This is q
fact that should be fully realized.
Let any intelligent men, who have tht
grit to overcome obstacles as others have
10 do elsewhere, start out with well Sc
lected varieties, and follow up with rough
spraying careful cultivation, and proper
fertilization. Be honest in grading anc
neat in packing and the peach crop on thi'
peninsula will be profitable, and we vii
sustain our well-earned reputation for th'
finest peaches grown.
1--WE submit that it Is up to the indi
vidual. more than all else. to determine
the future of the peach on the Delaware
and Maryland peninsula"

A. R. SAYLOR'S VIEWS
ABOUT ANTI-MEAT CRUSADE

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Wilmington to-day consists Of two
classes Of people. viz; carniverous and
snti-carniverous.
The former go prowiing around, seek
ing what animals they may devour and
what hen roosts they may enter. while the
latter live peacefully on fruits, cereals
and nuts as nature intended man should
liye.
OF course. every city has its small quota
Of vegetarians. who abstain from the cat
ing Of meat as thought It were poison, and
who look upon the killing Of a steer. cow
or sheep as nothing short Of murder.
But it is not of these that we wish to
speak. It is of the large army of persons
throughout the United states that within
the last thirty days have Joined the ranks
of the vegetarians, owing to the high
prices charged for meats. that our atten-
tion is drawn.
Wilmington, like all other cities, is go
ing into the boycott business as though it
were a past grand master at the busi-
ness, and not satisfied with it's achieve
ments the day before Christmas OF bring
| ing the price of turkeys down from Ssc to
lOc per pound by refusing to buy until the
prici met their approval are now after
the meat man on all fours, and already
the prices are beginning TO tumble.
Like almost every move made for the
betterment OF mankind, the meat boycott
was started by trades-unionists and they
are the ones that are leading it still, while
tho boycott army is composed of citizens
from all walks in life.
The boycott has already demonstrated
very clearly that cold storage houses
should be In the hands OF the United
States government, the same as the
bonded warehouses in which whiskey it
stored. Then. only. will there be anything
like a proper distribution of perishable
goods. Already, in many cities, they are
agitating governing the time that goods
csn be kept in storage, and in New York
city, they are trying TO make thirty days
the limit. All this agitation is due TO the
meat boycott, and insofar II is doing
noble work.
| I joined the meat crusade at its start
and can say the family and myself are not
suffering in the least under the new diet

chanqina Conditions.

'Death the Meddler," who stalks IN
upon us. often unannounced, always
terrifying. plays sad havoc with the
tenor of our lives, cutting short cher
ished plans and ambitions with a
hopelessness that admits Of no allevi-
alton, says the Charleston News and
Courier. The change that follows in
his wake is sharp and sudden, and
the task Of trying to cover up the
broken places and adjust ourselves to
the new conditions is no easy one.
Death, however, is not the only fac
tor concerned in effecting some Of the
most vital changes in our life's
routine. We forget to take account
OF time: we fail to realize that the
service we render to others will not
always satisfy them and that other in
terests will come into their lives in
which we can have no part. We have
been so contented, the family circle
so complete, that when the shadow
OF some coming change first throws
itself across our path we can hardly
recognize its true import. We try to
imagine that wo do not see its dim
outlines; we try to delude ourselves
into believing that It will pass us by,
ana yet in our hearts we know that II
Is there. We do not fully realize the
advantages Of familiar intercourse un.
I'll that intercourse is interrupted and
we suddenly face the loss which has
come into our life.

HOW TO BUILD UP REHoBoTH.

TT is gratifying to note that the discussion of
Il better highways does not lag in the lower
counties. The newspapers in these counties are
full of it and the grangers are insisting that
there must be better highways, for good roads
are regarded as the most important sign OF the
progress OF the community.
Sussex county has been rangng about the
election Of county road engineer, but this Will
soon be arranged. In Kent county the discus
sion has been lively because of the apparent dis
inclination of the Levy Court to take up the
matter Political squabbes and disputes, the
parceling out of few offices and all that seem
to have held back the lower counties
What many persons in Wilmington would like
to see would be a fine road through the
State fine road from this city to Rehoboth.
And this could be built. II is worth trying
for.
The authorities of New Jersey have paid par
ticular attention to the highways of that state
with the result that thousands of visitors are
constantly in New Jersey, taking their money
there and spending it with lavish hand The
benefit to New Jersey is great. There is no
dispute of that point
ii is said that New Jersey now intends to have
a fine road from Camden to Cape May with
the result that that ancient resort will attract
more visitors than ever before. Good roads
bring hundreds of automobilists into a COM
munty and with fine highway from here to
Rehoboth and with better train facilities, Della
ware would have summer resort tnat could DC
built up to equal any of them
1t seems TO us that the Delaware Railroad
Company now that it contemplates extensive i'm
provements improvements made necessary by
the ever increasing travel, should consider TINS
subject of making a greater Rehoboth. Ii the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company would take
hold Of this matter as it should do, and if our
county authorities should follow scheme Of
having a fine continuous road through the State
Rehoboth would become a great resort. More
visitors than ever before would go not only to
that place but to other Delaware towns and we
should soon have almost a transformation OF
Delaware
No part of the country by nature is better
suited for being the garden spot in every way
than this peninsula, and we are negleetng our
opportunities if we refuse TO take advantage OF
the possibilities that lie before us in this re-
spect.
