tas has been lost through yellows.
The commercial orchard bore a
good crop of peaches in 1914, the
WELD being about 5000 baskets
while the sales amounted to about
$1,000. At the present time the
peach orchard is set full of fruit
and there is a prospect of between
5000 and 5000 baskets. Owing to
the great growth of the trees in
the Elberta block the trees were
severely pruned back last winter
yet notwithstanding this treat
ment full crop has been set.
The apple orchard is in good
condition and is beginning to show
the effects of different methods of
fertilization. The Stayman and
Jonathan varieties bore a light
crop in 1914, and there is a light
set of several varieties for the pre-
sent season. While the bloom was
good on several varieties, weather
conditions were such at blooming
time that pollination was prevent
ed and a light set Of fruit followed.
A number of apple trees have
been so badly injured by mice
that it was necessary to bridge
graft them.
The vineyard bore heavily and
there is good prospect of crop
for this year.
Sour cherries bore a large crop
in 1914 and show prospects for a
fair crop in 1915.
There were but few sweet cher
ries harvested, for the present
year there is better prospect OF
a crop.
The Japanese and native plums
gave a fair crop in 1914 and the
prospects are good for a full crop
on most Of the varieties.
The European plums are COM
ing into bearing very slowly and
in general this type of plum has
been a disappointment. Some va
rieties will bear a full crop this
year.
For the first time since the or
chards were started there is a
prospect of a full crop of apricots,
many Of the trees are set so full
of fruit that they will have to be
thinned.
The ounces are we'll set with
with fruit and the bush fruit va
rieties are full Of bloom at the pre-
sent writing.

Mckinney's Pitching Wins

Manager McDevitt of the New

er on Saturday who more than
made good. Mckinney, who had
failed in the All-Wilmington
League was the man and he held
the local club to seven hits and
one run.
Hogan pitched fairly good ball
bu this support was not of the best
and New Castle won without much
of struggle. The fact of Marsey

During the past year number
of potato varieties were grown for
testing. Owing to change of pol
icy in the Station the potato work
has been dropped temporarily. The
work with tomatoes has been con-
tinued. The variety tests of late
tomatoes is practically completed
as we are handling a scant half
dozen varieties this year. We are
now on our third years work of
testing early varieties and another
seasons work will practically end
all variety tests of this vegetable.
The two year rotation fertilizer
blocks of tomatoes were grown for
the last time in 1914. We feel
that we have secured all the use
full data possible from this work
and there was no necessity of
going farther with the work. In
brief the two year rotation, of to-
matoes, crimson clover; corn,
crimson clover, has not been a sue
cess. Catches of clover in the
corn were too uncertain and the
humus content of the soil has
steadily decreased.
During the present year, the
new tomato fertilizer blocks have
been continued and we are bend
ing every effort to advance our
work in fixing the Shallcross va
riety which we have been testing
and improving for the past six
years. Our policy is that from
now on our tomato work will con-
SiSt of an endeavOr to improve old
strains by selection and originate
new strains by breeding. Variety
tests and fertilizer experiments
with this vegetable will be dis
continued as soon as we feel it is
possible to do so. In 1914 quaint
ity Of cabbage seed was grown; il
has not yet been tested for germin-
alton and vitality. A quarter acre
/ of VOlga cabbage was grown anC
wintered over for seed production
This variety seems to be composed
Of several types and an endeavol
is being made to separate this
type. A test of wintering over
cabbage in the field for seed pur
poses proved a failure. For seeC
production in the northern part oc
the State it will be necessary t.
bury the heads. The cabbage
breeding work is being carried OF
under glass during the winter
months.

Work with Fruits

''In the above | have given you
a brief resume of the condition of
the orchard. In the experimental
fruits we have continued all eX
periments outlined in years pre-
vious. Owing to the full crop of
peaches we have secured during
the past year great deal of val
liable information regarding the
plant food and cover crop require
ments of the peach. The most
striking feature brought out was
the value of nitrogen in peach
production. The work of study
ing varieties has not been as sat
isfactory as we would like to have
it. The work entailed in handling
the commercial crop of peaches
was so great that but little time
was left for note taking. There
must be some relief from the COM
mercial aspects of the fruit crop
before thorough and efficient OBJ
servation of experimental work
can be had. However in spite of
handicap we have succeeded in Sc
curing the record of yield of each
individual tree in the variety or
chards and hope to continue this
work. We already have records
showing that many of our peach
varieties are untitled for Delaware
conditions and also that there are
several very promising varieties
in the orchards, among these |
might mention Miss Lola, Francis
and Ray.

Nut Growing

We strongly believe that there is
a place for nut culture in Della
ware, and in accordance with this
belief we have established a test
orchard of pecans at Laurel, two
varieties of English walnuts are
included in the test.

horticulturist and Mr.. Michael
Gessner, as horticultural foreman
have given cheerful and efficient
assistance to the work during the

their efforts.

Cooperative Work

During the past year co-opera-
tive work was carried on in potato
variety testing, fertilizer tests for
tomatoes, cultural and fertilizer
work with peaches, and fertilizer
work with sweet potatoes.
About sixty varieties of early
and late white potatoes were
grown at two places in the State.
Fertilizer work with tomatoes was
carried on in Sussex county. A
number of spraying and lining
tests were arranged for in the
State. In general these proved
unsatisfactory as we were unable
to follow the works up properly
and the results turned in by the
co-operators were either fragment
airy or unreliable. Such work has
now been turned over to the
County Agents.
The demonstration peach work
at Odessa was an unqualified sue
cess. A large crop of peaches was
harvested by the owner and a good
profit realized. The particular
point brought out in this work was
than many of the so-called peach
failures in the Middletown area
are due to lack of proper cultural
methods and are not due to any
soil exhaustion from long years
of peach growing.
/ The sweet potato work in
Laurel was carried out as plan
ned and is being continued for the
present year. The principal point
brought out in the work was that
lining is not necessary for sweet
potatoes, and in fact may prove
detrimental unless it is used on
the clover crop which precedes the
sweet potato. AS a result of our
work we have also recommended
to the growers of that region that
they use more potash for sweets
and cut down slightly the percent
age of acid phosphate. By doing
these two things the amount of
fertilizer used per acre can be
materially lessened.

Tree Pits

This experiment has been con-
tinued along the lines originally
outlined. During the year we have
lost one tree and had another bad
ly injured by bark beetles. At the
present time the trees are set full
of fruit and we hope to get our
first fruit records this fall. The
analysis of leaves and drainage
waters has gone on as in previous
years. The cover crop work in the
peach and apple orchards has been
continued and a large amount of
data has been secured concerning
the fruiting behavior of peach
trees under different cover crop
treatment. 1t is becoming more
and more evident that the cow pea
is a valuable cover crop for peach
orchards in full bearing. While
the apple orchard is not as yet in
bearing, careful diameter growth
measurement records have been
made each winter.

Obviously the Association cannot
assist in such campaigns in all the
towns Of the county at once and some
towns requesting campaigns have had
to be refused for the present. In gen
eral the selection Of towns will be
made on the two following principles.
First, that it is best so far as possible
to scatter the campaigns over the en-
tire county and not to group them In
one section Of the county. Secondly,
that it is best to go first TO the towns
where the citizens themselves arc
most DESTROYS Of the work and where
they are most ready TO cooperate.
