Diverse Opinions at Georgetown

OtNCISC OpihOiiS at OCOi 5SlOWH
Georgetown - Diverse opinions
seem to prevail among the fruit
growers of the county as to the
prospects for a crop of peaches,
apples, etc., this year. Many con-
tend that the crop will be almost
total failure because of the severe
weather which they believe killed
nearly all the buds, some even going
so far as to say that the sap was
frozen during the five weeks period
of frigid weather experienced the
first of the year. While in this i'm
mediate vicinity there are no ex-
tensive orchards, due to the fact
that the farmers have become dis
gusted in trying to raise peaches
and suffer an almost complete fail
ure of the crop each year, some
however, are still clinging to the
industry on very small scale, anel
it is their belief that there will be-
hardly one-fourth of a crop. John
A. Tyndal, one of the most extern
sive growers who brings his produce
to Georgetown, says; 1.-THE outlook

Year All the Way Around-Damage
Slight. if Any, BY Severe Cold
There has been much discussion
in regard to the prospect for fruit
in this State but the opinion of
prominent growers seems to be that
while there has been some damage,
the general outlook is more en-
couraging than for some time. We
give below some opinions as pub
lished in the Wilmington Morning
News of Friday last.
Milford. Feb. 29-The concensus
of opinion of the prominent fruit
growers around Milford and neigh
boring towns seems to be that there
will be good crop of peaches in
this section of Delaware unless some
unforeseen disaster ovrtakes them.
Other fruit, as gathered from talks
with the growers, are not damaged
to any great amount, with the eX-
ception of blackberries, which
are "winterkilled. =" Charles Bark
er, one of the most prominent
fruit growers near Milford, spoke
on the peach outlook for this season
as follows, 81 am speaking only
from the outlook on my farm and
from my own orchards. After a
careful examination of my trees l
find that the Champion, Belle of
Georgia and Alberta are not injured
to any extent. There are enough
living buds on the trees to insure
an abundance of these l also find
that the Crawford's Late and the
Davis while not we'll set, will, under
favorable conditions, produce a fair
crop of peaches. Taken as a whole
l feel that the trees on my farms
will produce good crop of peaches
if nothing unforeseen occurs" Mr..
Barker then stated he had not ex-
amine3 the other fruits, but that
from all appearances pears, plums
and other fruits are not hurt.
Charles Sackett, who resides near
Lincoln, about three miles south of
Milford, the largest grower of plums
in lower Delawar and a man recog-
nized as an authority on peaches,
says as follows: "Upon examination
of my trees I find that the tender
varieties, both carly and late, are
hurt very badly. These varieties
comprise the Crawford family and
Reeves. The harder varieties,
such as the Alberta, Bell of Georgia.
Champion and Fox Seeding, are not
hurt, and under favorable conditions
should produce full CROP" When
asked his opinion concerning other
crops, Mr.. Sackett replied: 81
have not examined other fruit very
Thoroughly, but do not think that it
is injured. The blackberries, how
ever, are hurt very badly B.
F. B. Woodall, statewide author
ity on fruits, when interviewed said /:
Il have not examined any peach
buds this season for the reason
have no peach trees at the present
time. l have examined other fruits
on my farm and find that none of
them are hurt When questioned
about the blackberry outlook, Mr..
Woodall stated that his briars were
green and that they were in good
condition.

Fruit Conditions at MiddIetown

Middlteown-Charle Finauer and
William Reynolds, both having
orchards in Blackbird hundred, report
that three-fourths of the buds are
killed. They attribute this result
to the unusually large and long con.
tinuance of sleet this winter. Rob-
ert A. Cochran, of near Middletown,
reports that from one-half to three
fourths of his peach buds are killed,
and he ascribes this result to the
cold weather, especially che extreme
cold Saturday and Sunday in Jan
uary, when the Thermometer touched
10 degrees below zero. Mr.. Coch-
ran declares that the Belle of
Georgia and the Albert varieties
stood the cold weather best and
show the greatest number of living
buds.

Probably the mos, important char.
acteristic of soil in it's relation to tree
life il its structure, or it's physical
composition, for upon this depends its
ability to hold water.
For our purpose it will be enough to
say that there are about six classes
OF soils. Rock. unbroken as we see
1t in boulders or as it outcrops along
the river. Sand, which consists OF
small particles of rock, such as we see
along a shore. Lime, which consists
Of decayed or broken lime stone,
Clay. Humas, which besides being
made up of rock fragments contains
some form of decaying organic life.
Then there are some soils that we call
alkaline, which contain so much salt
that whatever may be its structure
plants cannot grow in it. These soils
all diner in their capacity for holding
water, sand being the poorest. OF
course We may find these soils mixed
or one kind everything another, as for
instance, clay underlying sand. or
humus over sand. Again, we have the
glacial soil, which consists of sand,
gravel, clay and rock boulders, all
mixed together, and every time we
find a new combination of soils we
have new capacity for water. Now,
just what is meant by the capacity of
soil for water. or what is meant by
soil water. it will be the purpose OF
this article to try to show.
Suppose We take a pebble one inch
In diameter. According to a we'll
known rule in arithmetic, it will have
a surface equal to 3-1416 square
inches. If one dips this pebble into
ter in liquid form will drop on, but
there will still cling to the pebble a
delicate film of water equal to the sur.
face Of the pebble. Now, if We take
the pebble, and without adding or sub.
tracing from it, divide it into thou.
sand equal parts, each part will have
a diameter of tenth of an inch
Now, according to the same rule for
finding the surface of a solid, each
Of the ten parts will have a surface
of .3146 square inches, and thousand
will have surface of 31.416 square
inches. In other words, without in
creasing the matter in the pebble, we
have increased it's surface and in.
stead of holding film of water 3.1416
inches, it has now a capacity for hold
ing nearly ten times as much water
film. If, instead of dividing the peb
BILE into a thousand parts it is divided
into a million, it will have a capacity
for holding 314.16 square inches OF
water film. If, instead of a million
parts, we make it a billion, the capac
ity of the pebble has been increased
to 3141.59 square inches of water film
Thus it is Mechanically certain that
round pebble may have its surface
increased a thousand times by divid
ing it into a billion pieces, and there
fore its capacity for holding water
films increased in the same ratio
Now, if We multiply the above square
inches or about the water capacity Of
a cubic inch of soil whose particles
are one thousandth Of an inch in di
ameter by 1928, it will give the watel
capacity of a cubic foot of soil com
posed of like grains and it will give
37,700 square feet. Now, let US sup
pose that the roots of trees penetrate
