TO BE NO LACK OF
 CONNECTICUT PEACHES
  Crop Will Be Great One This Year, Says J. H. Hale.

"Connecticut will have the largest crop of peaches in the history of the state, judging from present indica- tions," is the way in which J. H. Hale of Glastonbury. orchardist of nation wide reputation, sums up the situa- tion.
 The reports from all over are just as encouraging as in the locality of Glastonbury, he is quoted by the Hartford Courant as saying, and 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 Jersey. combined, and it will give a greater total than all of the other New England states. And Connecticut will have more than enough to sup ply New England and will have to look for an outside market.
 of course" he said this is all based on the present conditions. We now look for a large crop, but next week something may happen to elim- sea son has been ideal thus far. Even now 1t is a full two weeks ahead of the usual.
 Season Is Ahead
 "At the first of April it was five weeks ahead and then it appeared that there would not be much of a crop, for a heavy frost was feared
 
 enough not to do damage and, at the same time it was cold enough to hold the buds back until the real spring weather was assured. Last Monday I was down in Georgia, when we had a cold snap, and I thought that it would ruin things up in Connecticut, but it was apparently not any colder here than there. As a matter of fact some of the buds were blasted but it was only small proportion. com paratively. It would not have done any harm if a few more had been blasted for that would have eliminated some of the thinning of the fruit that will cost thousands of dollars However. we are willing to spend money to do the thinning rather than run the chance of nature doing it by the frost method.
 About Reports of Ruined Crops.
 'Tn this particular I want to set you right on one thing. The papers have habit of saying each year that 30 per cent of the peach crop has been ruined; then comes another article saying that an additional 30 per cent. has been ruined and later, perhaps, another 40 per cent. has been ruined. By that time the papers owe the or chards some peaches. The fact is that this arises from the fact of reporting the destruction of the buds. In real ity, 90 per cent. of the buds could be destroyed by frost and still there would be a full crop of peaches"
 To show what he meant, MT. Hale held up a sprig from one of the trees which, by actual count had on it 112 blossoms "Only six out of that num- Der should remain" he said, "The freeze of last Monday killed from 10 to 40 per cent. of the blossoms but the result is that some of the strong CT blossoms survive and then too some of those cut new were net s far advanced as others when the frest came"

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.


 The Auditorium is offering a classy bill for the last half of the week with varied programme of motion pictures and three interesting vaudeville num- bers. Branded by His Brothers Crime, a frontier western picture, and the kinenacolor farce comedy Entertain ing Auntie both make a good impress sion.
 Kashima rightly styles himself the human billiard table and makes big hit with his clever juggling of the balls which he rolls in and out of yari ouS pockets attached to his coat. He also does a number of clever stunts with the cues and wins big hand. Ywoxey wins his. share of applause for his rendering of classical and popular selections on the violin in a finished manner and is recalled by the ap plause.
