noisily and thoroughly done.

There were few homes in MillsbOrO

Mrs. George R. Ellis had passed away
suddenly at her home in Newark last
Friday afternoon about 4:30. Mrs. Ell
lis had moved from the parsonage
here to Newark last Tuesday morn

it will provide several baskets full
so that with a few trees, we will have
sufficient for our summer use, can
ming for winter, and some left over
to proudly present to the neighbors.
Where the garden space is extreme
ly limited, the trees-may be planted
along the bOundry line, or even close
against a fence. Peach trees may
easily be kept pruned and trained to
occupy any space desired. Square
pruning is help rather than dis
advantage, and if these pet" trees
are properly handled and cared for,
when it comes to spraying and thin
ming out the small peaches, when
about half grown, they will produce
extra fine peaches. They must, how
ever, be given first-class care in fer
tilization and frequent soil cultiva-
tion.
Plant Some Peaches This Spring!
Spring is the proper season in
which to start young peach tree
planting; so your orders should be
made out and sent away to the nurs-
cry as early as possible. In setting out

be dug and old well rotted manure
should be mixed thoroughly with the
soil before it is put back around the
tree.
Every spring, the annual growth of
the year before should be cut out
third or more on all trees. Severe |
pruning is good for peach trees. to
keep them growing symetrically and
to allow plenty of air and sunshine
to reach all parts of the tree. To en-
courage the symetry of the tree, all
branches that crowd or cross should
be cut back, or any that grow too |
In pruning cut back to |
budes or branches that point out, so
as to keep the center as open as
possible.
In order to procure the most per-
feet fruit, about half the yield should
be removed from both dwarf and
standard trees, when the peaches are
half grown. This, of course, is much
easier to manage with dwarf trees
where the fruit is within easy reach
however, even on large trees, the
out can be accomplished with
The assistance Of a stepladder.

Bowers Beach

The pleasant weather of last Sun
day was an incentive for visitors anC
joy riders.
There were quite number of cars
bearing Pennsylvania and Maryland
license tags and a number of their oc-
cupants were on fishing bent, but
when they sized up the situation they
found that they were a little early in
I the season.
There have not been any managers
of the boats yet who have tried the
/ project, as it is too early, as the fish
have not come into the bay.
But some of the fish fans were de-
termined to have a tryout, so they
cOntented themselves with fishing for
catfish in the river and some Of them
were quite successful in their efforts
and caught a number Of them.
| The stake net fishermen are catch
ing some fine shad and the haul seine
fishermen are catching quite few
fish Of a smaller size, such as her
ring, perch and rock.
Nv The oyster feet that harbors here
at the entrance Of the rivers left for
the oyster rocks on Monday Of this
week to engage in the catching and
planting Of oysters on their private
grounds in the bay.
James E. Barcus and family Of
Chester, Pa, have moved down and
are occupying his home on Hubbard
avenue.
IThere was never before such a de-
mand for renting houses here for the
whole season as there is at the pres
ent time. It surely is the time now to
build houses for rent as the rent that
they will command will surely pay a
big interest on the investment.
There are so many bOatmen coming
from different parts Of the State with
their boats and they want houses for
their families here from May to No
Vember.

PEACHES FOR HOME USE
By F. F. Rockwell, Horticultural
Editor Of 'Farm and Fireside"

peaches and cream''-that's a treat
that is appreciated at every table.
Next to it, in popularity, come
canned peaches and cream. Not the
hard, half ripe, half cooked, unsweet-
ened kind that you buy from the gro
GERS shelVes-but the real, Old-fash-
ioned, home made variety, 'put Up" in
our own kitchen. Even where this
dessert is served over and over again.
it always ''tastes like more"
There is only one wholly satisfac-
tory answer to the peach question;
that is, to raise your own. Then you
can have an ample supply to be used
freshly cut up with sugar and cream,
OF to be canned and preserved and
made into marmalades; jams and Jel-
lies for winter use.
Fruit obtained from our own trees,
freshly picked for the table, cannot
be compared in quality to those that
have been shipped hundreds Of miles
to market. These, necessarily, must
be picked little green to stand being
tightly packed into box or basket, and
waiting several days in the hot store
or on the dusty fruit stand before
they appear on the home table.
In picking a peach for dessert, just
when it is wanted, we are able to
choose one that has ripened to per-
fection in the sun-and its mellow
lusciousness seems to have treasured
up all summer sunshine in its juice
and flesh.
Little Room Required For A Home
Supply
The peach trees will take up scarce
ly any room on the place, as they can
be planted in any available sunny
nook, if it is well drained and not so
sheltered as to betray the tree into
starting growth too early in the
spring.
A sturdy little peach tree-especial-
" in the spring when it's slender and
graceful boughs are laden with deli
cate pink blossoms-is a real orna-
ment in any garden. It takes up lit
tie more space than a bush or shrub,
and as an ornament alone is well
worth planting.
It is quite astonishing to see how
quickly young peach trees come into
I'bearing." Even a two-year old tree
will present us with goodly amount
Of fruit, and by three or four years,
