GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH AN
OLD FRIEND

Edward w. Pickard, whom sub
scribers know as the writer of the
Weekly News Review of Current
Events, doesn't have an opportunity
in his columns to talk about himself.
His subject is world events-what
other people are doing, saying and
thinking.
He could tell, however, a great
many things about himself which
would interest us. He might relate
some of his experiences as world
traveller who has visited all continents
and many nations. He could hold
our attention with stories taken from
his early newspaper experience in
Chicago.
But what he would like to talk OF
most, perhaps, is his hobby-world
history, ancient, medieval and mod
ern. Long before leaving grade
school, young Pfckard fell prey to
the fascination of what men had done
in long ago ages, how empires had
grown and crumbled.
It was this lure of history that
took him to the far corners of the
world shortly after he was graduated
from University of Illinois. He
bicycled his way through rural
France and England, learning at first
hand the geography of the countries
whose histories he had studied.
News hunts have taken him to all
parts of the globe, and as reporter
and editor he learned not only the
ms and outs of American politics,
but also the course of international
affairs.
These are few sidelights on the
man who now writes for readers of
The Journal. His study of history,
politics and foreign relations pro-
vides him with an adequate back
ground with which to review and
interpret in the lighh of this knowl-
edge the great rush of world hap
penings.
Readers of the Review are dis
. ucssing more intelligently the various
problems brought up each week by
sudden turns of the news. Here they
have found open to them fund of
information based on established
facts and not merely the gossip of the
moment.

PROMISE OF LARGE PEACH
CROP

Indications at present are that
there will be bumper peach crop
throughout the Peninsula.
This is to be a very important sea-
son for peaches, according to surveys
made by the officials of the Bureau
of Markets of the State Board of
Agriculture. Upon the success of the
farmers in producing and marketing
of peaches, which Includes the price
obtained for the fruit, will depend
whether scores of other farmers will
again turn to the raising of a fruit
that score of years ago attracted
more attention to the country than
any other product.
The farmers for months have been
spraying the trees to keep down the
plant pests, and cultivating the orch
ards to eliminate the grubs and give
the roots of the tree a chance to OBJ
tain nourishment, both of which ideas
were scarcely known except to very
few twenty years ago. With advanc-
ed ideas in sorting and grading and
packing fruit and the very much in
creased prices obtainable for selected
fruit, peach-raising farmers who have
a good crop this year are likely te
make more money from this fruit
than they ever did before.
