ARE THE PEACHES
OF MAURY COUNTY
ALREADY KILLED?
FRUIT FANclERs SAY THAT
THEY FRoZE OUT IN
THE WINTER.
OTHER FRUIT WAS NOT INJURED
. According to Local Fruit Men the
Luscius Peach Will not Even Bloom
Pears, Apples and Cherries Are
All to the Good.

Were the peaches winter-killed?
This query which is of more OF
less interest to all growers and con.
sumers of the lucious fruit, is prompt.
ed by the observation of local fruit
enthusiasts.
T. f. Lipscomb, register of Maury
county, in talking of the situation,
said:
George McFall, who is one of the
most progressive and wide awake
fruit growers in the county, recently
told me that the peaches had been
winter killed and that they would not
bloom, except in a few rare instances
where the trees were protected.
began an investigation and consult
ed number of other fruit growers.
Mr.. Wooten, who keeps up with
fruit conditions closely, confirmed the
statement that peaches had been kill
ed. Mr.. Yoest, strange to say had
not noticed it, but when l called his
attention to the fact he began an In.
vestigation.
1T was found that a number of
trees standing close to residences,
where the fire and smoke protected
them, were unframed, but that in
other places the buds were all dead.
One tree in the yard of Spence McFall
had escaped injury. Another tree
that stands in the Chafln yard, and
that is well protected by the build
ings had suffered heavily So the in
dications are that Maury county will
have no peach crop this time"
According to Mr.. Lipscomb the |
peach begins to bud early in the fall,
or as soon as the new wood begins
to grow. For this reason the buds |
are easily susceptible to severe cold,
and If killed the trees never bloom.
With apples, pears and cherries, 1t is
different, the bud putting out in the
spring and standing a much better
chance to survive the weather.

Washington-The contest in the
house over the $25O.oOO appropriation
contained in the sundry civic bill to
extend the scope of the tariff board
has been much more stubborn than
had been anticipated. The Democrats
have opposed the item on the ground
that the results OF the Investigation of
the board should be reported direct
to Congress instead of to the Presi-
dent.
The postal savings bank bill which
has been reported from the committee
on postoffices and post roads. is ready
for the Republican caucus on Wednes-
day. Practically all the Republicans
of the house signed the call. Many
western members believe the AN per
cent. of deposits which the bill is re-
ported would require to be kept
in local banks. is too small and that
the provision of the bill that passed
the Senate would be more effective
to keep deposits In the communities
where collected. The westerners
charge that the bill as drafted is a
bankers bill." and that under its op-
GRAFTON their communities might be
depleted of money.
After reposing on the senate calen-
dar for many weeks the statehood bill
suddenly has been called to take an
active part in bringing the opposing
factions together on the railroad bill

they need Democratic votes to pass

satisfactory to President Taft Many
contested features of the bill meet
