bushels of this golden fruit will
come off the nearby orchards Of
Virginia. West Virginia, Maryland
and Pennsylvania. They tell me
that present indications show this
is going to be a vintage year"
for the peaches from the four
State Appalachian belt. Weather
conditions have been favorable,
with just enough moisture, plenty
of sunshine and hot days to pro-
duce a full crop of fruit of better
than usual quality.
A few homegrown peaches, the
earlier varieties. are coming on
now, but the standbys-E -Elberta,
J. H. Hale and the Haven family
will start about the first Of the
month. From then on the harvest
will march northward in volume,
hitting a peak about the latter
part Of August.
The South. which is usually the
source Of our July peaches, had
only about a third of its usual
crop. Spring freezes almost
wrecked the crop in the Caro-
linas. while in parts Of Georgia
the winter was too warm and the
trees didn't get the necessary rest
period and as a result many failed
to bloom. This will account for
the fancy price you've been paying

It may seem silly to kick up a
pother about tea-but it is one of
the things that the younger gen.
Grafton, including new brides,
doesn't know too much about. To
say to the grocer and a pound
of tea. please" makes as much
sense as saying send me chops"
when pork chops are specifically
what you want.
Like coffee, branded packages of
tea often represent blends Of sew
eral varieties-the predominating
type being noted on the label. All
teas may be classified according
to the country from which they
come. the size of the leaf used,
and the method Of curing.
Depending on the curing. teas
are classed as green which
means the leaves were dried with
out previous oxidation, "oolong." 2"

and black" more thoroughly oxi-
iized before drying. The quality
Of tea depends greatly on the
locality from which 1t comes. You
should know how to make the best
of each of them.
Black teas, which have achieved
wide popularity in this country,
hail from India, Ceylon and China.
Black tea labeled Assam" or
'Darjeeling" are the finest Indias.
Orange Pekoe" means nothing
other than the tea contains some
leaf tips.

seems to have a special affinity
for milk-not cream. Oolong from
Formosa is the best Of that type,
and should always be served with
lemon.
Green tea Of the finest quality,
such as "Gunpowder" comes from
China, although we used to get
some excellent green teas from
Japan. Then there are the So
called specially favored teas"
such As smoky souchong and jas
mine-the latter used in q special
blend made for the late j. P. Nor
gan. and given as Christmas pres
ents to his friends.
When buying tea, estimate that
one quarter Of pound will pro-
duce 80 to 120 cups, depending on
how strong you like it. While tea
bags are convenient. they are
frowned upon by serious tea drink
