loads of peaches in Grady county
no Horace, the kind that grow on
trees--but that time was not the
summer and fall of the good year
1920 This season. Albertas in
Grady county are as scarce as grape
fruit in Alaska.
That statement, however, does not
apply to one spot in Grady county.
Said spot is series of sand hills,
the same being the farm of w. NJ.
SturGivant located mile from
Laverty This thrifty farmer has
just finished harvesting and selling,
accent on tho selling-a crop of
from 600 to 1000 bushels of peaches
while his neighbors and those who
saw his orchard wondered how
come"
The reason that Grady county
went without peaches this year is
simple. though harsh. Along in the
early spring there came a string of
warm days. This lured the peach
trees into the idea that they had to
come out in all their spring finery
wherefore they logged up in the
most beautiful array of blossoms
that has been seen around those
parts since the first peach tree was
planted in Grady by hardy pioneer
Seeing which, the populace cracked
smiles of satisfaction and began to
have visions of peach cobblers,
while the housewife part of said pop
ulace began to figure up how pro
fitable peach canning could be done
with sugar selling at gold dust
prices.
There was a villain in the piece
His stage name was j. Frost, being
called Jack by intimate acquaint-
ances and kindergarten pupils. Jack
had an accomplice, like all self-re-
specting villains. His name was Old
Boreas. After the peach trees had
been preening about for a few days.
like a pen of peacocks at county
fair, this Frost party and Boreas
got their heads together one night
and ran the thermometer down be-
low freezing with the result that
there were few peach buds alive in
the county the next morning.
If there were fe VALVE buds over
Grady county as a whole that morn
ing. there were as few dead ones in
the orchard of Mr.. Sturdivant, but
during the night there was much ac-
ton in that orchard. Mr.. Sturdi-
want was taking no chances, so as
soon as it became evident that
evening that the thermometer was
due to toy with the freezing point,
he hauled logs and brush to many
points over the orchard and as night |
settled down, many little fires
hwinkled through the orchard and
kept on twinkling until morning
Not only that but every night until
-he weather warmed sufficiently to
put the peach crop out of danger,
Mr. Sturdivant and his fires stood
guard over the orchard.
Those few nights work netted tho
owner of the orchard several thous-
and dollars. AS the peaches grew
'ipe, willing buyers flocked there
rom many miles in automobiles and !
he crop was sold as rapidly as it
'ipened and could be picked. The
prices ranged from 81 to so per
,ushel the latter price covering the
Dads that were hauled to Cement.
Jhickasha and other towns. Those
Who journeyed to the orchard gladly |
,aid dollar peck and for days
after the last peach had been hauled !
lway, fruit hungry travellers con
iEued to call at the Sturdivant
lome for more peaches.

But the laugh today is on Sir

exposed the stupidity of the Thomp-

endeavoring to meet the Gidicule

stated.

details of the interview in which

that it didn't happen. He is dared,
too, to specify the irregularity' In

Thompson asserts that Nuorteya
gained sinister reputation in the
United States as Bolshcvil1 agent.
But the Herald points out that de-
spite close watching and many in
ycstigations no charge was ever
made against NuOrteva in America,
and that presumably Thompson
means that NuOrteva was disliked
by the Llskcrs and Union league
members.
Then the Herald unlindly recalls
how gullible Thompson was last

that l.onguet and Frossact, French
