BIG PEACH CROP.

Notwithstanding many rumors that
the heavy frosts of recent date had
killed much of the fruit and early veg
etables in this section of the State,
there seems TO be an indication that
the peach crop will be quite heavy
this year. This was brought out at a
meeting of the Camden County Pomo-
ma Grange, at which representatives
from Atlantic, Cumberland, Salem,
Cape May, Gloucester and Burlington
Counties were present. The Camden
County Peach Growers Association
submitted a report on the cooperative
shipping market at Twenty-seventh
and Pavonia avenue, Camden, show
ing that the owners of 40, 900 trees had
been signed up for this season.
1t was shown that there will be a
big shipment of peaches this season
and the railroad officials have promis-
ed to cooperate with the work. 1t
vas also pointed out hal the recent
cold spell had very little effect on the
peach crop in Camden county and
nearby places.
Encouraging reports of this years
work on the farm, especially in Cam
den county, were submitted. The
grangers decided to spend July q in
Atlantic City. This will be Grange
day for the State, and grangers from
all parts of the State will be invited
for a meeting and outing.

PlEASANTVILLE EXHIBIT AT
NEW YORK FLOWER SHOW.

Fifty varieties of plant and insect
life, gathered in this vicinity, are on
exhibition at the annual Spring Show

held in New York City this week. The

try, closes on Wednesday. 1t is in
charge of the school children of New

The exhibit from Atlantic County is
taken from the collection of Richard
S. Price, of Absecon, w~ell-known nat
uralist of this section. He is endeav
oring to have the study of plants and
insects taken up by students in the
local schools. Among the plants on
exhibition will be specimens OF the
pitcher plant and the coaster, which
according to Mr.. Price are found in
this section of The country only.
Speaking of the exhibit, Mr.. Price
says: Are you interested in the u
door-life of the plants, insects n
birds? or curse you are, especially
If you are a Boy Scout or Camp Fire
Girl, and more so to those boys and
girls of Atlantic City and OF Greater

named? Have you a collection? If
you expect to nave your own collec-

to begin, for private, for school, or for
Scout interest.
THE School Nature League is COM

most, at the week ends and holidays,

other benefit equally large perhaps
many times larger-is received. A
