BIG PEACH CROP IN
MONMOUTH COUNTY
About 100 Working on Coun-
ty's Big Fruit Farm-0vef
10000 Baskets Full.
Special to the EVENING NE7ys,

| Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Freehold, July 9:-The work of
harvesting the peach crop on the
largest fruit farm in Monmouth
county was started Friday, when zoo
baskets of peaches were taken from
the farm and delivered to the
Thompson commission firm at AS
bury Park. The farm is at Scobey-
Vile. 1t IS owned by Frederick
Lerch, a Western man, and 1t is
managed by William II. Lerch, who
lives on the place. The property
comprises 100 acres, all of which is
devoted to fruit and poultry raising.
The peach season will last till
about the middle Of September Last
year more than $4,000 baskets of
fruit were sold from the farm. This
years crop will be even larger, and
| it Is estimated by Mr.. Lerch that
enough peaches will be gathered to
fill 10000 baskets. The increase is
partly due to the fact that the trees
had not fully matured last year and
to the fact that general conditions
favor bigger crop OF peaches this
year than last season
Fifty to sixty men are employed
on the farm and twenty-five women
also work on the place while the
fruit season is in full swing. The
men gather the fruit and the women
sort it. The men sleep in shack
In a woods on the rear of the pro-
perty. They buy their meals from
q Polish woman who lives nearby,
and they eat their fare In tents.
The Lerch fruit orchard of 100
acres is evenly divided between ap-
pie and peach trees The trees are
In rows, and every other tree is an
apple tree. AS soon as the apple
trees reach maturity, which will be
in about three years, the peach trees
will be grubbed out, and the entire
farm will be given up to apples. Mr..
Lerch finds that he can get better
prices by selling his fruit at Asbury
Park than he can receive by placing
it with commission agents to sell at
New York. The fruit Is taken to
Asbury Park in a large automobile
truck. David Tomadfske Is the
driver.

s786.2O COLLECTED
FOR OLD HOME DAY
Chairman Gundrum, of Finance
Committee, Gives EnCour-
aging Report in So. AmbOy.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

o.
South Amboy, July 9:-Reports
submitted by Chairman George
Gundrum's finance committee show
that $zS6.20 has been subscribed to-
ward the Old Home celebration
fund The committee has been di-
vided up into squads and they are
canvassing different sections of the
city in order to bring the fund up.
Just one year ago today the finance
committee had collected 1924 for
the first celebration, so they have no
reason to be discouraged over their
efforts for the big 1916 event.
Because of the arrangements for
a two-day celebration this year the
committee needs a great deal more
money than last year, and the sub
scription collectors are trying to
make the public realize that the
success of the approaching celebra-
ton Is entirely dependent upon the
amount of money collected.
1t has been requested that all
local civic and fraternal organiza-
tions, as far as possible, make a
contribution to the fund, as well as
individuals. Mr.. Gundrum and his
workers urge the hearty cooperation
of the entire community, believing
that If everyone does his share the
Old Home celebration will come up
to the fullest expectations of the
committee and become established
as New Jerseys greatest annual
gala day.
Many promises have been secured
by the committee workers, and the
wish has been expressed that this
money be paid in as soon as posi-
BILE, so that the budget for the vari-
ious departments may be completed
The following subscriptions have
been paid since last Friday;
