1900 BUSHELS OF
BIG, JUICY PEACHES
next DOOR TO CITY
BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN,

Amy man having 1900 bushels Of
peaches ripening right now has a
pleasing prospect especially so when
living within few miles of Richmond
and Eaton, neither Wayne or Preble
being known as peach country. Frank
Blackford, of Eldorado. tells us that he
has been estimating his peach crop
and is confident that it will run close
to $500 bushels, perhaps more. Mr..
blackboard is in love with horticulture.
he is a "fruitologist" and has devoted
much time to telling farmers that a
little fruit on the home place is a
mighty good thing. and is well worth
all the care that can be given it. He
has done considerable extension work
for the state of Ohio and has also lee
tured in various other states, on his
favorite topic
Has Several Varieties.
Mr. Blackford says that peaches are
doing well around Eldorado, although
the crop will not be large, as trees
are few. But in any event there will
be many more peaches than were
grown last year, this being true in his
own case. His Triumph peach will be
first to ripen, then will follow the Car.

ways, the latter trees being loaded this
season, compared with but few last
year He will have some Elbertas. but
these were thinned by high winds As
to plums, there is an abundance this
year, the Reina Claude being especial
ly prolific"
With the exception Of strawberries,
which suffered from drouth, berries,
cherries and orchard fruits, other than
apples, seems to have made, or are
promising good crops, in the Eldorado
and West Manchester districts of
Preble. In fact, taking the county as
whole, 1920 may be designated "a
fruit year. over that way.
Fruit From Western Idaho.
Western Idaho is likely to supply
part Of the Richmond demand for
fruits this season, particularly boxed
| apples and fresh Italian prunes, as
well as dried prunes Of the same
variety. Few Of US are advised of the
growth of the fruit industry in the
Gem state, but 1t is coming right
along
Peaches were winter killed but aside
from these Idaho is to have a wonder
| full fruit crop on $4,000 acres this year
Large shipments of cherries came east
from 1000 acres of commercial or
chards, and nearly 500 cars of prunes
will follow as 'plums." shortly. or as
prunes later on. AS to apples we may
expect upward of 1000 cars, after sup
plying the home demand All Idaho
fruit is closely graded and is winning
reputation
That the fruit area is thus widening
is good news to the masses, to those
who have found fruit too costly for
their purses. With present methods of
wide distribution we cannot grow too
much fruit. Comparatively few Of us
! get enough of tit doesn't seem to
go round

FRESH BEEF GOING
Down over AMERICA

The price of fresh beef at whole
sale, throughout the entire country.
has. declined materially of late; as
much as 10 to Is per cent in the
east during July. Relatively speaking.
the supply of beef was larger in July
than in June, compared with demand.
The decline in the cheaper cuts has
been greatest but the public still in
sists in maintaining the greatest de-
mand for the most expensive cuts.
Many packers have lost money on
much of their 1920 fresh beef opera
tons, and say that August shows no
promise of a change for the better.
Price Range Widens.
The spread in price range between
handy weight butcher cattle and
choice yearlings, and the grass fed or
partly finished stock, has been con-
stantly widening. There has been an
abundance of heavy cattle, but people
are demanding lighter beef during the
warm weather, thus favoring medium
weight corn-fed dry lot cattle. which
have been in brisk demand.
The reduction in the price of beef
has been country wide and the decline
at wholesale has not been checked OIL
average grades. This is the expla
nation of why we are getting so much
nice fresh beef in Richmond. for so
little money, compared with prices
when the H. c. L. held sway in our
meat markets.
Cattle, sheep and hogs are killed
here at home. Here is a saving of
freight on the live stock. and of shrink
and commission for selling.
This meat can be piled on our meat
blocks and packed in our coolers at a
great saving, compared to that ship
ped hundreds of miles on hoof and
reshipped in refrigerator cars.

The Farm and
the Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

John Townsend, one of the victims
OF the hog dope, tells of his experience
in one instance, as follows: "A likely
young porker walked up to the feeder,
sampled the contents and hurried
away to drink. He drank freely and
then commenced to go round in circles,
as if drunk. The next morning he lay
dead beside the water trough when l
went to feed. Two others died before

tonic"
The Cook Milling company at Mid
dleboro say they have not been buying
any wheat of late, being full from the
early rush. All the wheat in the vicin-
ity of the mill is now threshed and also
most of the oats.
Fine Wheat on Tobacco Ground.
MY best wheat was grown on to-
bacco ground" said Frank Blackboard,
of Eldorado Il cut so bushels on to
bacco land and but Is bushels on bal
ance of the field, both being good
wheat. We have the promise of the
best corn crop in years around Edo

have seen some of the poorest to-
bacco around here this summer that
have seen in years. If any should ask
my views on the situation would advise
men having good leaf to hold it,

In telling of his wheat experience
this summer Bert Jennings related the
fact that while the crop across the

his wheat not merely escaped but was
of such fine quality that all but &C

bushels to the acre. His acreage Of

Mr.. Jennings lives on the Crestel
pike.
When through planting, his neigh

drill and got busy, sowing some wheat
on the same day. This WAS the wheat

he has no explanation to offer, but he
knows his wheat was all right, very
free from cookie or weed, and that il
showed no trace of fly.
