2l7,0OO DfPOSlIORS
 IN SCHOOL BANKS
Spirit Of Thrift Means Savings
 Of $l,25O,O0O.

1 A million and a quarter dollars IS
 on deposit in school savings banks in 1 the United states. according to a bull 1 letin just issued by the bureau of odu- 1 cation. This money is distributed among 217,0OO pupils. who thereby learn lessons of thrift for use in later life.
 Belgium has the honor of originat- ing the school savings bank system, according to the bulletin. Prof. Laurent, of Ghent. Belgium, in 1873, began the work among school chill dren "'fOr ameliOrat.On of poverty and the improvement of individual and national life His work soon attracted the attention of the leaders
 of education in other countries.
 A native of Belgium, john Henry
 Thiry, put the school savings banks
 on a permanent footing in the United
 States. Mir Thiry established banks
 in Long Island City. N. Y. and the
 New York schools, under Superint en-
 dent Maxwell have been among the
 most successful advocates of the
 system Mr. Thirys efforts in behalf
 of school savings banks have been
 continued since his death, in 1911, by
 Mrs. sara Louisa Oberholtzer, Of
 Philadelphia, who has aided in the
 compilation of the bureaus bulletin
 on tho subject
 Several methods in vogue for col
 1ccting and banking the savings of the
 children are described. Usually the cooperation of a established savings bank in the school community is first secured. Forms and blanks are provided by the banks. When the amount reaches one dollar, the child is given a bank book and be- comes, through the school a regular patron of the bank. When the de- pCsit reaches $3 or 5 Gas the banks eiect it draws interest at 3 or more per cent
 Among the cities where the school savings banks have done nota ble work are Pittsburgh. Pa, where over S6O0,- 900 has becn deposited since the in trOductiOn of the system. Chester, Pa. has now on deposit over $44,O0O. Toledo, Ohio, established the system in 1911. and has deposited since then over s252 ,0oo, with s7O,0oO reported as still on deposit. Atlantic City, ". J., has on deposit over $33, 1000. | Pupils in Grand Rapids, Mich., de- posted s75,oOo in the several years since establishing the bank and have drawn out in that time only S10,00O. |
 The bulletin suggests that there can be q stimulating relation between the 1 L. s. postal savings system and the school savings banks. The postal | savings banks receive deposits from all over 10 years of age. "Children 1 who have spent their pennies and nickels in candy shops and moving l picture shows until they are 10 years old,'' declares the bulletin, 'are not 1 likely to hold their cards until they 1 accumulate the S1, to be exchanged for l } certificate of deposit. School say l ngs banks are needed to prepare | young people to profit by the postal l savings banks"

PEACH CULTURE IN
 TH|RTY-N|Nf STATES
Many Conditions Must Be Con-
 SjdGrcd by Growers.

Washington, D. c. Feb. 2.-In at United States there are peach inter ests of commercial importance, ac- cording to a new farmers bulletin
 (No. 631) of the L. $. department of agriculture on "Growing Peaches" This bulletin is the first of three on the general subject of peach grow ing, which will treat of fundamental orchard operations. The questions of site, propagation, planting, tillage, and soil fertility are treated in the first bulletin now being issued
 In locating a peach, as well as any other orchard, other advantages must be considered besides the natural ones of climate and soil If an orchard is too remote from a shipping sta ton, too far away from suitable market, or located where ice fo" re- frieerator cars cannot be convenient ly supplied. it may not be possible to grow peaches there profitaby.
 Peaches may do well on a wide range of soil types including even some of the moderately heavy clay loans and clays. But whatever the type, a soil must be thoroughly well drained to be suitable for peaches. They will not succeed on poorly drained soils. It follows that the heavy clay types which are so hard and impervious that water does not percolate through them readily are to be avoided as rule. Moreover, soil should be moderately fertile. One very rich in nitrogen is not to be desired as a general rule. since e,c,ty- growth of foliage. On the other hand the impression which is some what common that a poor, unfertile soil is good enough for peaches" is erroneous.
 Tn districts in which alkali soils oc- cur. sites should be selected with a view to avoiding them. While the peach tree can be grown where there is a limited amount Of the all kali salts, they cause disaster if present in large quantities. It is safer, therefore, to avoid them as far as possible.
 As a general proposition. a site that is elevated considerably above the surrounding areas is to be pre- ferred for a peach orchard. Rela- tive elevation is generally of greater importance than actual elevation above sea level.
 Where an orchard occupies a site that is adjacent to large body of water. the importance of a relatively high elevation largely disappears. To be a factor in the matter. however, 1 a body of water must be of sufficient : size and depth to have an apprecia- { hle influence on the local climate Be ! cause the water warns up in the l spring more slowly than the atmos- 1 phere, it acts in effect as refrig- | erator making the temperature in its 1 immediate vicinity colder than 1t is l at points somewhat distant from it. i For this reason, vegetation within the | zone of this influence advances more !! slowly in the spring than it does out 1 side of that zone. The tendency is : for the blossoming Of peach trees | situated within tho zone to be de- 1 IaYcd until after the season Of spring | frosts is past.
