Peach Crop Short

There was once, go the traditions say, q
complacent theory prevalent over the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and the three
counties of Delaware that nowhere else on
earth could fine peaches be grown except
in the region lying between the Chesa-
peake and Delaware bays. % years ago
not only Baltimore, but Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and score of other
Eastern cities were dependent upon the
big Eastern Shore and Delaware orchards
for their peach supplies. Many of these
orchards contained 0,000 trees, and not
a few were OF 10000 tree dimensions or
larger. One famous Eastern peach or.
chard of forty years ago is said to have
spread over 1900 acres. A blight, known
as the yellows, has swept away most of
the big Maryland and Delaware orchards.
This season there will probably not be 9
full carload Of peaches shipped from any
station on the peninsula.

FORCED TO FIGHT FIRE.
Revolver Used by Ranger That Inva-
lids in Resort May BE Saved.

Banning, Calif.-At the point of a
gun Forest Ranger Decker recruited
men to fight against the forest fire
which threatened to cause the death
of many invalid guests at Palm
Springs resorts.
Unable to help themselves, not only
vecause of the physical weakness but
because of the flames which sur
rounded their cottages, it was believ-
ed that unless aid was extended soon
their death would result. There was
no railroad by which they could leave
the zone of danger and IT seemed that
escape of any kind was impossible.
The flames remained unconquered
at Snow creek, and from there swept
onward around Mount San Jacinto.
Valuable Indian lands and irrigation
plants were jeopardized and it was
feared that heavy timber in the
Chino and Tauzuitz canyons would be
destroyed.
In the fight against the flames
which was directed by Forest Super
visor Marshall, there may have been
lives lost already as seven Mexcans
who were among those drafted by
Decker by the aid OF a revolver, were
reported missing.
