PEACH CROP so FAR SAFE.
No Harm to Trees Resulted From
Warm January Weather.

CHEWSVILLE. Md, February 1o.-The
coming peach crop is absolutely safe sc
far, and unless something affects it be-
tween the present and picking time grow
ers throughout this county not only pre-
dict a large crop, but expect it to beat
the record i'll quality.
If favorable conditions continue it is
estimated that Washington county will
place around 3UWO bushels of the fruit
ON the market.
When the hot weather of January kept
up day after day there was much I'M
easiness among the fruit growers They
were afraid that such mild temperature
would swell the buds to such an extent
that short spell of cold weather would
kill them and put an end to all prospects
for a good crop.
