dency is for the b1ossoning of peach
| trees situated within the zone to be
delayed until after the season of
spring frosts is past.
In the fall, frosts are delayed in
a similar manner except that the
| large body of water, having absorb
ed much heat during the summer,
cools Off in the fall more slowly than
the atmosphere, and hence 1t tends
to keep the temperature within its
zone of influence. warmer than it
would otherwise be.
1t is because Of these reasons that
peaches are grown with marked suc-
cess and injury to the crops by adj
verse temperature conditions is com
paratively infrequent in the portions
of New York and the Province of On
tario that border Lake Ontario; in
Ohio along Lake Erie: in southwest
ern Michigan on Lake Michigan, and
In some other districts which are
adjacent to large bodies of water. AS
a rule, the zone Of influence of bodies
of water such as those named is
rather narrow, usually not extending
back from the shore more than few
miles
The slope or exposure OF a site is
the point of the compass toward
which the land incltnes. A question
very commonly asked is, What slope
is best 2" 1t is one that admits of no
feraib1e under all conditions and in
all regions. In fact, the influence
which a particular exposure may
have in the success Of an orchard is
probably much over emphasized in
the popular mind.
AS a rule, it is doubtless safe to
assume that a site having a moderate
slope in some direction is to be pre-
ferred for orchard purposes, other
things being equal, to one that is 1e-
vel. One having a slope will usually
have better soil and atmospheric
drainage than level area.
The new bulletin shows how tenn
perature is limiting factor in peach
growing. 1t also explains the general
features of the propagation of peach
trees which should be undertook by
peach growers, even though the aver
age peach. grower is not concerned
directly with the subject The bullet
in then proceeds to give details re-
garding the planting and tiI1age of
the orchard as well as an explanation
of methods Of maintaining the ferti1i-
ty of the soil. There are a number
OF figures illustrating the new pamph-
let which may be had by application

ture, Washington, d. c.

VIII Restrict Use of
Emergency Ambulance

OfacIaIs of the Department of
Charities are continuing their investi-
cation regarding the use of the ener-
lance for ordinary transfers. 1t is
expected that a report with recon-
mendatipnss for more stringent regu-
1ations will be made by Superintend-
ent Gordon at the next meeting Of the
commissioners.
Since the investigation was taken
sions OF opinion received, both YER
bally and written. Almost without ex-
ception there has been approval of
the plan to prohibit promiscuous use
of the emergency ambulance for
transfer service.
It is pointed out that many. of the
transfer cases are undoubtedly such
as do not need emergency Ambulance
service or that there is financial abiI-
1ty to hire a private conveyance
