HORrrCuLrURIsrs Am PEACHES.

T is hoped earnestly that the effort to the
peach as of the leading fruits in this
State VIII be successful. The time was. there
thousands of and women still living who
member it, when peaches valued millions of dollars
were shipped annually from this State and the Del
marva Peninsula. The orchards devastated by
the "yelows," San joe scale and other diseases
pests until finally their rutfuness was destroyed and
the prestige Of Delaware and the Demarva PENN
sua the leading peach producing territory in the
Union was destroyed coincidently
Now It has been demonstrated beyond doubt that
under scientific treatment orchards may be re-
stored. Hundreds Of acres OF land already are set
in peach trees. Many Of those orchards are bearing
splendid fruit Many farmers contemplate setting out
orchards next Spring. In short, the signs Of the
times are that Delaware ard the Peninsula will be-
come once more in few years, the leading peach
growing district in the United States.
In this connection take pleasure in calling at
tenton to the following editorial printed in the Smyrna
Times, which paper is published in district which
years ago. of greatest peach centers:
The success of few peach growers in Kent county
this year Is likely to give peach culture renewed inn
petus In the face of most unavorabe conditions the
orchards that have been properly cared for and which
we're sprayed had good crop and the size and quail
ity have been excellent Three things ha ye been
demonstrated the trees must he carefully pruned
and wormed; they must fed with the necessary fer
tilizers and humus crops. and they be sprayed
not only often but thoroughly. Where trees were
sprayed four times they did best and probah, ffth
spraying would have brought better results Fruits
growing Is a business. q specially and the farmers
who put out trees on poorly improved land, do little
II any spraying and expect them to yield fruit are
wasting time and space The Of the peach
growers is interesting and gratifying. bnt the farmer
Nho without thorough knowledge Of the subject is
led to put out orchard is unwise II is better To
first study the condition that made the neighbors sucl
cess the pains he took. the cost of Fertilizers. the
time and labor given TO spraying and the years of
failure. and then decide whether you are prepared to
spend as much or more
In short if the Peninsula horticulturst is to raise
peaches md derive good revenue therefrcm he must
treat his trees they ought he treated and spray
more and pray less for a good crop.

That moonlight ride on the river

not soon be forgotten by the more
than three hundred people, who spent
the entire evening from seven until
eleven o'clock on the smooth surface
of the great Father of Waters. The
experience Of passing through the
lock of the great dam was almost
thrilling to many. The fellowship OF
those four hours was delightful and
the sweet music OF the instruments
as well as the singing of the quartet
and others was great. On the whole
we doubt IL ever at convention peo-

The only regret was that the at

We just feel like mentioning the
name of Bro. Boyd whose entire time
and thought was given to the con

everyone, and surely any church has
right to be proud of such a man
among its membership.
