We have modern Improvements but
no one as yet has learned how TO
crow a crop of peaches and at the
same time sit in the shade. We arc
shy on economic production, weak on
euci economic marketing. You must
educate the boy 20 remain on the
farm We have the soils TO produce
certain economical crops and every

Had it not been for the assistant
Mr.. Travers, OF the Maryland Expert

hard work and hard cash that kept the
brown rot from totally destroying the
crop of peaches. BY his direction, ten
Thousand peach trees, ranging from
five TO eight years OF age, were
sprayed and controlled by brown rol
at a time when it looked hopeless
