amount, and an expert would admit the cars will be more numerous than the hair on Joe Bateman's head These peaches were just beginning to rdpen when the party went through the orchard. The packing sheds were making their first run and the iced cars were being loaded for transit to Northern cities.
 The original Bert Johnson orchard is about the center of the present as reage of peach trees. The orchard is entered from many directions, but the principal road comes in from Nashville on the south, or from To- kio on the east. To give some idea of the magnitude of the proposition, nine tractors are used in road worK and blowing, and in addition there is one of the largest type of Advance Rumley tractors and Austin Western road machines constantly at work. The roadway is fifty feet in width, and concrete bridges are being placed over the streams. No city has better streets than the roads through the Bert Johnson orchards.
 There are few peach trees, other than Elbertas, in the orchard. The trees are carefully pruned so that the limbs branch a few feet from the ground and when burdened with fruit they hang low without breaking When the fruit is too heavy for the limbs 2 rortion is picked off and the remaind- CT is thus improved in quality. The ground under the trees is carefully tended, being plowed often, and fer tilizer is freely used. No fallen peaches are permitted to remain on the ground, for they are usually de fective and would spread vermin in the orcnard. Stock is not permitted 10 run at large in the orchard. The trees are sprayed regularly, battery Of ten or more high powered spraying machines, motor driven, make the round continually until the danger of pest is past. Tie spraying of the or- chard is one of the most impressive sights, except to see the trees when they are grooming" beneath tha weight of their fruit.

In future years the home packing crew will be ade- quate to handle the crop. The month ly pay roll of the company is between $10,OO0 and S15,00O except at harvest time, and during that month it jumps to S125,000 or more. Last month the gay roll exceeded $20,000. There are now $500 men and women at work on the harvest of peaches, the women being mostly employed about the boarding houses or offices of the com pany.
 There are five packing sheds in the 4,50O acre orchard. They have daily capacity of 125 cars and each car Is worth over $1,000, for Bert Johnson Elbertas are this year selling for $3 per bushel in the orchard. The Pres colt & Northwestern railroad has spur tracks connecting every packing house so there is no delay in hand ling the fruit.

SKINNER PETITION
 CAN'T BE GRANTED
ONLY WAY FOR NINTH WARD TO GET MORE ALDERMEN IS TO DIVIDE THE WARD, SAYS
 ATTORNEY.

s. Z Skinner and other citizens Of Precinct B, Ninth ward, submitted the following petition to the city council:
 twill you give to us, as voters and residents in Precinct B of the Ninth ward, an expression of your will in the matter of representation in the city council which was asked TOT from your body some time ago? Had We not felt the necessity of bringing this matter to your attention we would not have taken your time in asking for consideration of 1t. It is a matter of importance to us and we would like to know just what your will is."
 The petition was referred to City Attorney John F. Clifford, July z, and last Monday night be made the fol lowing report:
 "The only way MT Skinner and his associates could get additional representation would be by changing the number of aldermen or making new ward and this would have to be done in accordance with the stat ute, which provides that whenever one hundred or more reputable citi- zens and taxpayers shall present to the judge Of the Circuit Court pc tition for a change in the number of alderman or the number of wards or the boundaries of any ward, setting forth the reasons why such change is necessary and asking for commits sioners, the circuit judge may, in his discretion, fix a time for the hearing, which shall thereafter be conducted in the form and manner as set out Il the act of 1885.
 T am of the opinion that this act of 1885, together with the Act Of 1875, providing for two aldermen from each ward, as amended by the Act of 1893, takes away from the council all control over situation re- ferred to by MT. Skinner and places it in the hands of the circuit judge
