With more than a half million bear
ing peach trees GROWING the nine fne
orchards. all within rife range Of
Americas, Sumter claims the honor Of
being the banner fruit growing county
of Georgia ana brings herewith the in
disputable proof of such claim She
has the trees, a round half million OF
them and more, while the excellent
quality Of the peaches produced here
has won an enyiable reputation il
every fruit market of the North and
East.
While peaches have always been
grown here it was not until about
1903 that the first large commercial
orchard was planted. The success OF
the experiment induced other growers
to put out orchards until within ten
years the industry has developed to its
present handsome proportions and
made Sumter county the centre Of the
peach belt
The men engaged in the peach bus
iness are experienced and successful
horticulturists of this and Western
states, who devote their best energies
and talent to the business. AS reflect
ing their success, not an orchard has
been abandoned or become neglected.
The peach crop Of two seasons ago
I910-was the most enormous ever
produced here. In fact, it was too
great to be handled, and while prob
ably 800 carloads of fine peaches were
shipped away or consumed in local
canneries, vast quantity rotted IN
the orchards for lack of time and fac
tiles with which to handle the fruit.
The trees broke down beneath their
weight of fruit, which was given away
largely in order to dispose of il. As a
carload consists of five hundred crates
OF six carriers or baskets, each, the
Americas shipments in 1910 aggre-
gated nine hundred thousand carriers
The 1911 crop was cut short by late
freezes, but the crop this year prom
ises to be bumper and may equa!
that Of 1910, as the half million trees
are in splendid condition and were
literally loaded with blooms from top
to bottom. Indications at this season
-'ere never so propitious for a gTea-
nd profitable crop.

orchard is otherwise cultivated, both
corn and cotton being planted between
the long rows of young trees.
Careful spraying of the orchard
eliminates all enemies of the trees,
both the curculio and San Jose scale.
A spraying apparatus is secured at
trifing cost and the prepared solu-
ton is easily applied twice each sea-
son. The result is sound fruit, free
of blight or worms. Brown rot is
practically unknown in the orchards
here, though it is to be reckoned with
in higher localities.

In putting out an orchard choice
budded stock obtained from reliable
nurseries is used. The young trees
are set out in rows eighteen feet
apart, and, looked at from any direc-
ton the long rows run straight In
three years the trees are bearing, and
from that time on prove source of
rich income to the owner when the
seasons are favorable.

1t will be seen, therefore, that in the
production of these four varieties the
shipper is kept busy in his orchard
from May Goth to an even date in Au-
gust, when the last OF the Elbertas are
gone and the seasons work is ended.
One variety follows another in quick
succession. while the peach season
lasts, and there is no conflict or con-

The Carmens, Bellies, Hileys and Ell

.HILO NOT TO GET
DEPUTY MARSHAL

From communication road before
the members of the board of trade at
a recent meeting, from the pen OF Mar
shall Smiddy, there is littlre cause to
hope for the appointment of deputy
marshal for Hawaii, says the Hawaii
Post. 1t had been the opinion OF
many here that such an official
should be appointed, and more espe.
Cially since the new liquor law had
gone into effect, violation Of which
would mean that we have no one here
who could directly ASSUME control in
case of such violations.
Aside from the liquor question, also,
there had been a feeling among the
businessmen of the community that
a deputy marshal should be appointed
as the growth Of the population and
Importance of the island would war
rant such. However, the Communica.
ton from the Honolulu marshal
seems to hold out no hopes for an inn
mediate appointment.

What About The Tenements?

How can Honolulu improve the condition of the
people who making their homes in the tene'
ments?
This is not query, nor are the deplorabe
conditions to be found something to which intelli-
gent citizens have been Indifferent. But the ques,
ton has come up in new form and in new places
of late and the opportunity should not be lost to
make a drive for betterment. This is always pos
sible through arousng the interest of wider circle
of citizens.
Eighty per cent of the children in Honolulu pub
lie schools come from tenement homes. This state
ment made by DR.. Chang in his talk before the
Honolulu AID Club was startling to large number.
Others may have heard it before and wondered what
they had to do about it since they did not live in
tenements and did not own any.
Experience shows that the fact must be stated
and restated, time without number and then again
before the people will really be aroused. The agita-
tien must continue without ceasing if light is to be
let in. and the standard of the home raised to that
which may be considered minimum of light air,
cleanliness and space to selfrespect and de,
cency as a substitute for squalor ard dirt.
If one were to go back twenty years for COM
PARSONS, he could find plenty of instances of i'm
provement even in Honolulu tenement districts.
During that period the Palana settlement with
its splendid influence and help in the crowded sec
ton of the city has become permanent community
fixture.
No doubt we have to thank the workers of the
, PaIama Settlement for the frequency with which
the condition of the socalled "homes of the people
has been brought TO public attention.
Cleanliness and right living have tendency to
become contagious.
Health and sanitary regulations in the construc,
ton of buildings have brought about improvements
that are revolutionary as compared with what ex-
listed in Chinatown twenty years ago.
The town has advanced. But ii still has long
way TO 60
The problem of progress in this particular line is
q large one Everyone is ready TO declare that con
di.ions should be changed but not everyone is will
ing TO give the time and effort that will be required
to secure for instance, the passing of building regu
lations under which the dark, wooden, poorly ven
tiIated tenement can be put out of existence This
lnecls attacking property interests and calling a
spade spade when dealing with the men and the
corporations that build the shacks.
There are, however, problems of proper policing
sanitation in so far as the removal of filth is con-
cerned that ought to respond quickly to an aroused
