Burre,l Ii the Tropics.

BY Howard A. Burrell in the Wash

ride out on trolley seven or eight
miles to Hope Gardens on Saturday
morning, and met, first and last, sup
pose, thousand folks, mostly wo-
men, walking in on the solid. oil road,
carrying on their heads their pitifully
cheap wares to sell in the city booths.
They walked erect and with swinging,
swift. rhythmic gait, in twos, threes,
quartettes, and sometimes a dozen
abreast, each dressed in neat prints,
scrupulously clean, starched and laun-
dered, bit Of ribbon for sash at
the waist, their gay hats perched atop
of the basket of bananas, vans, eggs,
cocoanuts. fuel roots, sugar cane.
flowers, alligator pears, mangoes and
various other fruits and vegetables
and nicknacks. The women, black as
the ace Of spades. reefed their skirts
to escape the kick-up of their heels,
and strobe like soldiers. laughed, and
chartered, and were as happy as
larks. Not millionaire among them;
poor, no end poor, but neat and clean
as princesses, and healthy and merry,
and-black. Nothing to pity in their
case; they knew no other
life, and SO missed nothing,
and their imaginations are at
rophied 1t was the most exhilarat-
ing sight that ever filled my eyes; it
was finer than the later sight OF the
famous Cuban and Spanish ladies rid
ing in splendid equipages in the prado
in Havana on Sunday afternoon, to see
and be seen. And they were well worth
seeing, too. But the gay march of the
black brigades was quite as stately
and fine. .

is to destroy every apple and pear In

there may be, but the apples raised

j. H. HALE ON PEACHES.

j. II. Hale of Connecticut is called
the "Peach King OF America. While
he lives in Connecticut and raises a
good many peaches there in favorable
years, he does most OF his peach grow
ing in Georgia where lie has many
thousands Of peach trees in bearing.
Any thing such man may say on
peach growing must be valuable. In
a recent article in the Rural New
Yorker we find some valuable state
ments on thinning peaches. Mr..
Hale says:
$50, too, with fruit thinning, an
Elberta tree that is we'll nourished
can be 80 overloaded that peaches
touch one another, or even in clusters
of three or more, and yet large, fine
peaches can be secured, while the
same treatment accorded to Waddell,
Crosby or st. John would result in
little peaches, no matter how liberal
ly the tree was fed. Carman is an
other variety like the alberta, may
be left unthinned and yet produce
fine peaches, though not as large size
proportionately as the liberia. Peach
thinning generally greatly increases
the size, beauty and quality of the
fruit, while weakening it's shipping
and keeping qualities. Thin skinned.
tender varieties like Carmen and
Champion, il they can be left little
over crowded on the trees and yet
forced up to fair salable size, will
ship better and keep longer than the
same varieties when proper thinning
has been practiced.

add that have just returned from

prime and while we cannot claim
that we are out OF danger from spring
frosts, yet IL we do escape such
danger, we will have a phenomenal
crop of peaches. Under favorable
conditions we could easily have a
car load to each acre Of our orchard.
While l was too busy to go about
much among other orchards, | can
say that generally the reports are
good. On low, fiat ground the report
is that many buds are killed and the
crop will be light. Apples promise

this pest does not do much harm but
that Is not a section where apples
rank very high in grade. | could
name a section where it was claimed
a few years ago when l was there that
they we're immune from the ravages
OF the codling moth A year or so
ago it was reported that one man
there lost three fourths of his apples
from this pest. The good Book says;
"Let not him that girdeth on his
armour boast himself as he that
putteth 1t off.
/ have been at pains to set this mat
ter before the inexperien ced fruit
grower so that he may see clearly how
to fight this pest. This is done In
the following ways: We may kill the
larvae in their winter quarters. AS
was walking from the depot to my
sons house this spring, my grandson
met me to carry my valise. said to
him, "What are you doingY" His
reply was, "Scaling and barking" l
asked him what he meant. He in
formed me that he was scaling off the
rough bark on the apple trees and
digging out the larvae OF the cooling
moth from the forks. Every worm
thus killed will save many apples the
next fall. We may catch the worms
under bands and thus lessen their
ravages. Then we may spray with
arsepate of lead just after the petals
have fallen This is without doubt
the most effectual of all our methods
of fighting this pest. But this spray
ing must be done thoroughly so as to
fill the calix cups with the poison.
Then we may spray again in ten days
and once or twice more later in the
season. No slip-shod or haphazard
work should be done.
Some one may be disposed to say:
sis it not great misfortune to the
apple grower that he has to spend SO
much time and money on account OF
this pestiferous insectY' l think not
for there is beneficial side to the
pest question. When was a boy L
plowed corn with just one simple pur-
pose before me and that was to Kill
weeds. 1t never occurred to me In
those days that it would have been
beneficial to the corn to have plowed
as did if there had not been weed
on the farm. Since have become
man l have ''put away childish
things" and now know that the soil
needs stirring so that it may conserve
the moisture and give up its plant
food. Just so in fighting insect pests
we get many indirect benefits. l will
not now enter on this subject further
than to say that If we had no pests to
fight, 1t is doubtful il we could make
any money in fruit growing. 1t is
the wide awake hustling man who
fight pests OF all kind and then puts
his fruit on the market in the best
shape that makes the most money out
of the business.
