Milk in good demand, wholesale 5c per !' quart; retail 8 to 15 cents. Clinton Crease, the well known grower ' of Middle Township, opened the after- r noon session with his experience in peach growing. Hia beginning with peaches was with inferior trees about ten years ago. He bad made the mistake of growing other crops with them longer than be abould and had not given proper attention to spraying until of late, lie bad made a study of the matter and had learned something but wanted to know more. He had been successful in treating borers in using boiling hot lye, about four one pound cans concentrated lye to •bout 100 pounds of water; digging around the base of the trees and apply- ' ing about a quart around the base, putting it on just as hot as be could get it from the boiling kettle to the tree. This he does spring and fall and has no need to do anything else. He discovered a couple of borers in his newly set orchard | and gave the trees there the same dose. ! When he found the scale was on his trees ] he began spraying with a home made I mixture of lime, salt and sulphur, but it I took more time to mix the stuff thsn to put it. on, so he tried a commercial mix- : tore he has read about at $11 per barrel, to be used in the strength of a gallon to ten gallons of water and found it all r'ght. He sprays three or four times a year, using tlie above mentioned strength at first then diluted for other times. Thinning out the fruit he con sidered of first importance. He begins in the "June drop." Last seasqn he took off as many as he left on the tree and j ought to have taken more. He went over j the trees twice and then didn't take off enough. . The fruits should not be nearer than six inches. Take small and large peaches to market, the large fruit goes ' like hot cakes" at $1.25 per basket while ' the small fruit drags at 60 cents. H el would not grow potates in a peach or chard after the third year. For fertiliser, barnyard end stable manure was good. Crimson clover was objectionable as it. made too much wood growth. He also used kainit, four handfuls to each tree. This year he had peaches for five months, beginning June 22. (To be continued) FAIR The Cold Spring Grange will bold a Fair, on Saturday.
