PEACH CROP IN
GOOD CONDITION.

The condition about April / of the
commercial peach crop was S4 per
cent of normal compared to the final
percentage last year Of 52.4, according
TO the Bureau Of Crop Estimates Of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture. No quantity estimates were
given, but the bureau, assuming that
adverse conditions do not affect the
crop later, said that the April ! con-
dition report indicates that the 1919
peach crop may possibly exceed the
very light crop Of 0,546,000 bushels
in 1918 by as much as 40 percent, and
may equal IL not exceed, the 28,90l 900
bushel crop of 1917. Conditions gen
orally throughout the peach regions
are excellent, says the bureau, but
emphasis is placed on the temporary
nature Of early peach reports.

727, to Mr.. II. {. Durand Of Dorset,
Dear Sir:
promised TO send you a few lines
once in while and | want 10 keep my
promise, and write not only TO keep
my promise but because like to do
so.
suppose you wonder how ! like
France, SO far like it very much
over here and would be glad TO tell
you all about il over here as far as
believe the censor would permit.
have had a chance TO see whole
lot Of France already and it GER
tainly is a beautiful country, espec-
tally now when all the wild flowers
are in blossom. The single Califor-
MIA Poppy grows wild over here and
the fields are red with them, and with
the blue Bachelor Buttons and white
Cluster Daisies the fields certainly
present beautiful variety.
also see many beautiful gardens,
terraces, and arcades with the Climb
ing Roses that are so common here
and are now in blossom. The French
men know how to take good care of
the gardens, and almost every farmer
has well cultivated garden and a
vineyard.
The roads give me an appetite for
motoring, and make me long for the
Cadillac used to drive last year about
this time in the States. By the way,
when | talk about autoes, | believe
they are going to use me as a driver,
as | have just been assigned to the
116 Supply Train.
Now you would like to know what
we do for recreation and how we
spend our leisure time if we have any.
| | for my part spend most of my time
at home. Home, you will say! Yes,
we really have home everywhere
we go or at least u good substitute
for a home, and it is the Y. M. c. A.
There we go and get the comforts of
home.
There Ia always table and ink,
pen and paper il we want to write,
always a paper or some books If we
want to read, always piano or a
Victrola if it is music we want, or if
we want to play game of checkers
there is checker board, and it is
always easy to get partner. Some
times they have something extra be-
sides this, such as moving pictures,
lectures, singers and many other
things.
The Y. NJ. C. A. runs canteens
where the boys can buy hot drinks
and smokes and many other things at
as low a price as possible. The Sec
retaries or men in charge of the Y.
Nj. c. A. all seem to be men who
thoroughly understand their duties,
and it is a pleasure to shake hands
with such men. One word in all,
there cannot be enough good said
about the Y. NJ. c. A.
want to thank Mrs. Durand for the
letter | received a short time before
! left the States; it was very inter
esting letter. My best regards to Mrs.
Durand and Carolyn, and Hilma.
