Peach Crop A
 Record Breaker
350,O00 Baskets From State Orchards This Year-Hale Farms Will Yield Over 75,00O Baskets .sae

Advices received from the more inn industry of the State point to a ban ner crop this year. If present indi- cations pan out as expected, the crop at the Hale orchards at Glastonbury will amount to between 75,000 and 100, 900 baskets, or about 150 carloads. The rest of the Glastonbury peach farms will yield about fifty carloads. The Lyman and the Barnes Brothers orchards at Middlefield and Durham will yield, together with the various Wallingford peach firms, about 300 carloads, or about 250,000 baskets.
 Considering the crop in it's entirety, therefore, there should be about 800 carloads of peaches, or about $50, ,0C0 baskets, from the Connecticut farms this year At the Hale orchards in Glastonbury the crop is said to be the largest that ever threatened" the farm
 Everything broke just right for us,' said MT. Hale. Last years crop was light. We had more trees this year of a bearing age. It was mild winter The. weather of blooming time was perfect and all the flowers pollenized. There are now fifteen or twenty men at work pulling off the surplus; there are too many peaches on the trees and we don't want to run the risk of injuring the orch ards"
 Last years crop at the Hale orch ards amounted to 33,00O baskets, which was slightly under the average. The largest crop that the orchards have yielded consisted of 66,000 baskets, which was in 1907 This years esti- mate gives the total yield at from 75,- 900 to 100 900 baskets and the firm is making extensive arrangements for the gathering and the shipping. MT. Hale has grown earlier varieties this year than ever before, and the peaches are already as big as hens eggs. The picking of the early varieties will be- gin about July 25.
 Reports from the Middlefield, Dur ham and Wallingford orchards indi- cate a. large crop, but not a record breaker, simply because last years S crop smashed all records. The fact that the orchards in these districts over bore last year and also suffered wickedly from the drouth, will keep the crop down to the, average 
 Corresponding with the unequalled crop at the Hale orchards there is an crop of peach bugs. The firm has had to do more work. against these pests than ever before. A com arsenate of lead mostly on the bugs has kept the trouble well in hand, however About 500 barrels of lime and sulphur have been used thus far in the work of keeping the orchards healthy
