HALE PREDICTS ] BIGGEST PEACH
 CROP ON RECORD

'9Connectfcut will have the largest crop Of peaches in the history of the state. judging from present indica- tions,' was the way in which J. H. Hale of Glastonbury Summed up the situation yesterday afternoon. When seen by a reporter he was just start ing out on a tour of inspection of the 500 acres under cultivation. There is every reason to believe that there will be 1,500 carloads gathered from the orchards. That will be more than the entire crop of Delaware and New Jer- sey, combined, and it will give a greater total than all of the other New England states. sAnd Connecti- cut will have more than enough to supply New England and will have to look for. an outside market. We now look for a large crop, but next week som mething may happen to eliminate all the favorable indications. The sea- son has been ideal thus far. In real fty, go. per cent. of the buds could be destroyed by frost and still there would be full crop of peaches.''
 Speaking of the peach situation in Georgia, Mir. Hale said that there
