Peaches Sold for Cash

The harvest of the Elberta peach
crop in this valley was begun this
week. Clarke and Parke, who are
among the larger peach growers here,
ssbegan picking Wednesday. They have
disposed Of their entire crop Of Elber-
tas and Hales, for cash, on the basis
of $42.50 per ton for the former and
$50 per ton for the latter In view of
the large peach crop generally in the
country, and the fact that the returns
received for any farm produce this
season has not been high, this is con-
sidered a very fair cash offer for an
entire crop.
Clarke and Parke estimate their crop
at between so and go TONS The packing
will be done on the ranch.
The older Elberta orchards seem
little later and the harvesting in them
will not start, probably, until next
week.

FLOWER GARDENS
NEED REPLANTING

Home flower gardens which are
made up of perennials must be moved
or redesigned every two or three years
in order to restore the vigor of the
plant and give it a change OF soil,
according to j. T. Bregger, extension
horticulturist. Washington State Col
iege.
The best time for this transplant
ing and Encouragement is in late sum-
mer or early fall when the blooming
is over and the roots are in fairly
dormant state The plants should be
carefully dug up, divided, and moved
to their new location. If the fall rains
have not already begun, they must be
watered regularly for best results.
The digging and replanting of bulbs
is another autumn occupation of the
flower gardener Most bulbs should be
dug after the tops die down and stored
in cool place for four or five weeks
or until time to replant. 1t is usually
not best to plant the bulbs until the
fall rains have begun and the soil is
in first class condition.
Beautiful effects can be secured in
the perennial flower garden If the diff
ferent varieties are carefully marked
during the summer as to color and
type of growth and then arranged in
harmonious design when they are
replanted in the fall. In this way in
Vulnerable color combinations as well
as other effects can easily be created.
