OF Course. There Will Be a Few
Peaches in State.
Below ZERO WEATHER Did IT

The Kansas peach crop is killed.
That was the official announcement
today of o. F. Whitney, secretary of
the State Horticultural society. Sec
rotary Whitney qualities as the first
crop killer of the year. He says the
below zero weather put the peach crop
out of business for this year
Every year Kansas has more or less
trouble about saving and killing crops
But this year the secretary of the State
Horticultural society is sure there will
be no peaches. To be sure a few may
have been saved in especially pro-
tected spots or in local districts where
the cold weather didn't have fair
chance. But the crop for the state is
dead, and Whitney has advised the
growers not to sell their crop in ad-
vance There will be no crop to de-
liver.
Below Zero Did 1t.
1.-The peach crop will stand a tenn
perature of five. eight or even ten
below zero under fair conditions" said
Secretary Whitney. But when the
temperature gets ten below zero and
even twelve and fifteen and sixteen
below, the peaches don't have much
chance There isn't a question as to
the things the recent cold spells did
to the Kansas peach crop. The crop
is simply dead. There may be a few
peaches, of course. in some orchard
especially protected, but the average
peach grower need not make arrange
ments to harvest and sell a crop this

The test requires three hours con- tinuous pumping. Yesterday the Maxim pump was operated for two hours to demonstrate it's capacity. That was done with a lay out of two lines of hose siamesed into a deluge set with an inch and Q quarter tip. . The pump showed 120 pounds pressure and at the start it threw 460 gallons of water per minute During the last hour the motor pumped at the rate of 470 gallons per minute. The pump is rated at 450 gallons per minute, In the second run, which was of a half hour duration the pump showed 200 pounds pressure and threw 24o gal Ions per minute. The requirement. was 225 gallons of water. A single line of hose was laid. The third test was at 25O pounds pump pressure and threw about 160 gallons> The re- auirement was 150 gallons. longer single line of hose was the layout. The pump was operated about 10 minutes on this test.
 Mr. Buckley of the National Board of Fire Underwriters was here from New York, making the test. He will compile his report on the results and it will be official. The pump was 
 operated by men from the Maxim fac tory.
 There were a number of interested spectators present. Chairman Horace B. Clark and Com missioner Charles Dillon of the Hartford board of fire commissioners, and Chief John F. Moran of the Hartford fire depart ment Chief Pitt of the Middletown fire department and others were present. Former Safety commissioners An drews, Healey and Babcock witnessed the test
 Visitors were impressed by the appearance of the new truck. It is somewhat larger than other apparatus in the fire department, affording much more hose carrying capacity and room for the men. The working parts are easily got at. The car is equipped with pneumatic tires and is driven by a worm gear instead of being chain driven
