THE SUCCULENT PEACH
The Downy, Pink Cheeked Fruit
Is With Us Again.
AN ABUNDANT OBOP THIS YEAB.
Aood Newa From the Orchard* of Dela
ware and Georgia—Importance of the
Peach Growing Industry—How It Haa
Grown In Recent Year*.
The peach is having its day. For a
brief season it is king of the fruits, com-.*
ing just as the berries begin to fail and
before the bulky watermelon has reached
the zenith of its sway. The peach comes
tons this year in the usual large quan
tities in spite of the tribulations of late
frosts, spring storms, dreaded yellows
or adventurous bugs. At the last mo
ment the alarmist orchardists admit
that, contrary to their gloomy forebod-

ings, the peach crop is all right. In
fact, it is going to be a big peach year.
As a nation we fully appreciate the
peach. Our appetite for the downy
cheeked, pink skinned, luscious orbs is
something wonderful. During the two
months of July and August, when peach
es are at their best, we eat many thou
sand tons of them every day, and we put
mountains of them into cans for use
during the peachless months.
In six states the raising of peaches for
the home market is a prominent indus
try and gives employment to a great
army of workers. We spend more money
for this summer luxury alone than we
do in maintaining our entire army and
navy.
Maryland, Georgia, Delaware, New
Jersey, Michigan and California are our
great peach states—pretty well distrib
uted geographically, you see. Of course
other states grow more or less peaches
—in fact, there is hardly a state in the
Union where they are not grown—but it
is on these six that we depend to supply
the country. Ten years ago or less Del
aware would have stood at the head of
the list, but the little state has had to
take aback seat since the Maryland and
Georgia growers have gone into the
business so extensively. Yet Delaware
is raising more peaches this season than
for 20 years before, as the crop about to
be gathered will probably exceed 7,000,
000 baskets. Florida, New York and
Connecticut also furnish a good many
peaches, but their distribution is main
ly within state lines. Georgia peaches
are scattered to all points of the com
pass and are sold from Boston to St.
Louis and from New Orleans to Minne
apolis.
California sends her peaches, along
with her other marvelous fruits, to
every part of the country, and some
even find their way to England, but
east of the Mississippi California peach
es have to take second place while the
local fruit is in season.
Perhaps Georgia should have the
first place in the ranks of the peach
growing states. The Georgia orchards
are certainly the greatest individually,
although collectively they are not so
large as are those of Delaware. On the
Delaware peninsula it is estimated that
there are almost 9,000,000 peach trees
in full bearing. The orchards are small,
however, in comparison with those of
Georgia.
The greatest peach orchard in Georgia,
and probably the largest one in all the
world, is the Edgewood fruit farm, lo
cated about 25 miles from Macon. It
consists of 1,087 acres of land. Of this
tract 887 acres have been converted into
one great peach orchard, a square mile
in extent, and the rest is occupied by a
peach tree nursery, houses and factories.
It is owned by a stock company, and the
founder was a young Connecticut fruit
8. H. BUMPH, THE GKOEGIA PEACH KING.
grower, who is still president of the
company. The owjharS is only 6 years
old, but already its peaches are famous.
There are in this single orchard 100,
000 peach bearing trees, and about this
season of year the Edgewood farm is
one of the busiest spots in the whole
state. The 100,000 trees are planted in
a single block or square, and every one
of them oan be seen from an observatory
whioh rises from the great central pack
ing shed. 1?h«re are 17 miles of drives
through the orchard, whioh is laid out
with streets and avenues intersecting at
right angles. Just now fully 500 people
and 100 horses and mules are kept very
busy picking the ripe fruit from the
trees, packing it in baskets and orates
and shipping it in refrigerator oars north
and west.
When the season is at its height, 10 or
13 carloads of peaches are shipped every
day. A oar holds 550 orates. This year
there are about 70,000 crates to be picked
and shipped, and the work has been un
der way since the middle of July, A
merry and busy time it is on a big peach
farm like thia While the pioking is
largely done by colored help, the lighter
work of packing is done by the young
white people of Houston county. Every
night after work there are sounds of
merrymaking, for the oolored folkfe in
dulge in breakdowns and jigs to the
musio of the banjo, while the white peo
ple dance quadrilles and waltzes on the
broad verandas of the boarding houses.
When the demand for fruit falls off
by reason of a glut in the market,
then the canning factories are started,
and the ripe fruit is saved from spoiling.
"What do you do with so many
peaohes was asked of a Georgia farmer
who was expatiating to a visitor on the
amount of fruit he raised in his little
orchard.
'Oh, we eat what we can, and what
we can't we can," was his reply.
And that is exactly what they da
Canned peaches, as you know, are a
cheap and staple article the world over.
Another big Georgia peacfi farm is
that of Mr. S. H. Rumph. He is called
the peach king of Georgia, not because
his orchard is the largest, but because
it was he who first attracted attention
to the money making possibilities of
peach growing. You will still be told
in Georiga of the great crop of 1887,
when from an orchard of less than 200
acres Mr. Bumph cleared $50,000. Since
then he has been known as the peach
king, although larger and perhaps more
profitable orchards have been planted
since. But Mr. Rumph has been plant
ing peach trees since then, too, and last
year he made a net profit from his or
chard and nurseries of $100,000.
You may be sure that, with cotton
down to bedrock prices, the Georgia
farmers have not been blind to the
money making chances which this com
paratively new industry opens to them.
They have fully realized that no other
crop, that can be raised in Georgia pays
better on the investment than the peach
crop, and consequently every year more
than a million new trees are put into
the ground. Of course this will eventu
ally result in a glut in the market that
will last all through the season, but
until that time arrives new orchards
will be started.
The peach raising fever in Georgia is
similar to the craze for planting orange
groves in Florida, which received a
deathblow by the snowstorm of two
A PRETTY PEACH PACKER.
years ago, that destroyed thousands of
orchards worth over $1,000,000. The
same craze once seized the Delaware
farmers, and they paid high prices for
land that was before almost useless. A
glut in the peach market, followed by
the appearance of the peach yellow,
which killed acres of trees, checked this
enthusiasm a few years ago, and there
are Delaware farmers today who hate
the very name of the fruit. They are
the men who paid from $300 to $500 an
acre for land and planted peach orchards
only to lose the savings of many years.
But in Georgia today you will hear
stories of small growers who have sold
their peach crops for fabulous prices.
They say that a Tifton grower sold
peaches in New York for $12 a bushel
in 1894, and that another man realized
$1,500 an acre for his crop. With these
unusual if not exaggerated figures as a
basis of calculation the enthusiastic
orchardist or prospective peach grower
sits down and figures himself out a rich
man with very little exertion. As a re
sult some of them are sorely disap
pointed.
But many farmers are doubling their
incomes by raising peaches as an extra
crop. Orchard land can be bought for
from $5 to $25 an acre, and with a cap
ital of a few hundred dollars quite a re
spectable orchard can be planted. The
cultivation is comparatively easy, and
while his trees are reaching the produc
ing point he can raise early vegetables
and other products- sufficient to make a
living. When his trees begin to bear,
which requires but three or four years,
he can realize handsomely. Young trees
will produce about two, crates to the
tree, and he will probably clear from $1
to $2 per crate. Twenty acres of peach
trees should yield a net income of from
$2,500 to $3,000 a year.
Along the line of the Central Railroad
of Georgia there are more than 2,000,
000 peach trees in bearing and fully as
many more that will be producing fruit
in a year or twa When you consider
that a peach tree will continue to bear
for from 20 to 80 years you oan calcu
late that it will be a long time before
the peach crop will fail entirely, unless
pome unforeseen catastrophe overtakes
the orchards. CYBUS SYLVESTER.

Otmvejrard Idtoiwtnr*,,
The fashion of the world changes,
and the trade of the epitaph maker
grows slack. Here and there, it is true,
some one is still honored after the old
custom, but for the most part a text,
appropriate or the reverse, a brief reo
ord of birth and death, a word or two of
vague and general significance, with
possibly a simple expression of regret,
have replaced in our modern cemeteries
those shorthand histories of the dead,
tragio or humorous, tender or severe,
Borne stained as with wine and made bloody,
And some HB with tears,
whioh formerly marked their resting
places.
It is not that in these later years men
have lost that craving for remembrance
which, as old as life itself, is so vain,
in the case at least of the commonalty
of the race, that it might well be a sub
ject for laughter were it not that what,
seen from without is purely grotesque,
assumes quite another complexion when
it is touched by our own personality.
It is not that the desire to. be remem
bered Is gone, and it is likely enough
that in some fashion or another we
should all srill be epitaph makers, for
ourselves or other people, if we had not
lost faith in the permanency of the
work. But time brings involuntary wis
dom. "Our fathers find their graves in
our short memories, and sadly tell us
how we may be buried in our sur
vivors." "While I live," promises a
lover with melancholy truthfulness in
a Roman epitaph quoted by Mr. Pater
•—"while I live you will receive this
homage after my death, who can tell?"
Aud so it comes to pass that, submit
ting to the inevitable, men learn to lim
it their aspirations and to content them
selves, by way of epitaph, with the
"two narrow words, 'Hie jacet,' with
which, says Sir Walter Raleigh, "elo
quent death" covers all.—I. A. Taylor
in North American Review.
What to Say About the Baby.
One is always expected to say some
thing when looking for the first time on
a new baby, and, as it is neither kind
nor safe to tell the truth and say that
the little, red, podgy creature doesn't
look like anything, an English maga
zine gives a list of unpatented and un
copyrighted remarks to be used on such
occasions:
"Isn't he sweet? He looks like you."
"I think he is going to look like his
father."
"Hasn't he dear little fingers? Do let
me see his dear little toes."
"Isn't he large?"
"Isn't he a tiny darling?"
"How bright he seems."
"Did you ever see such a sweet little
mouth?"
"Isn't he just too sweet for any
thing?"
"The dear little darling. I never saw
so young a baby look BO intelligent."
"Do, please, let me hold him just a
minute."
Any and all of these remarks are war
ranted to give satisfaction, just as they
have been giving satisfaction from time
immemorial until the present day. —Ex

Tom Reed'a Argument Against Hanging.
"Did yon ever hear Tom Reed's argu
ment against capital punishment?"
asked an attorney. 'It was over in Tops
ham, during Tom's undergraduate ex
perience at Bowdoin. A deaoon had ar
gued that' Whoso sheddeth man's blood,
by man shall his blood be shed.' The
Mosaic law didn't hit young Mr. Reed,
so he jumped up and drawled: 'Sup
posing, sir, we take the law which the
gentleman has quoted and see where the
logical deduction would bring us out.
For instance, one man kills another,
and another man jumps in and kills the
man who killed the first, and so on un
til we come to the last man on earth?
Who is going to kill him? He can't com
mit suicide.- It is contrary to law, for
the same law forbids it. Now, deacon,
what's the last man going to do? Must
he wait until he is struck by lightning?'
"The logic was unfair, bnt it won
the debate.Lewiston Journal.
A
Chamberlain Story.
The remarkable youthfulness of Mr.
Chamberlain's appearance has given
rise to many stories. Here is one of
them: In the days when he was a mem
ber of Mr. Gladstone's administration
the distinguished statesman had occa
sion to cross the Irish sea on a day when
the boat was overcrowded and there
were no berths for all. He was attend-,
ed by a private. secretary with a beard.
The private secretary picked acquaint
ance with a Scotchman, and the Scotch
man made a suggestion for the distri
bution of the party on the principle of
age before honors. "You and I, mon,"
he said, "will occupy the berths, and
the wee laddie can just lie himself down
on the floor."
Persian Tears.
A physician who has just returned
from a visit to Persia says that the Per
sians still believe that human tears are
a remedy for certain chronic diseases.
At every funeral the bottling of mourn
ers' tears is one of the chief features of
the ceremonies. Each of the mourners
is presented with a sponge with whioh
to mop off his face and eyes, and after
the burial they are presented to the
priest, who squeezes the tears into bot
tles, which he keeps. This custom is one
of the oldest known in the east and has
probably been practiced by the Persians
for thousands of years. Mention is made
of it in the Old Testament.
Where Woman Proposes.
Between the mountains of India and
Persia is a powerful tribe among whom
an extraordinary custom prevails. Wom
an's rights have apparently received full
recognition, for the ladies of the tribe
oan ohoose their own husbands. All a
single woman bas to do when she wish
os to ohange her state is to send a serv
ant to pin a handkerohief to the hat of
the man on whom her fanoy lights, and
he is obliged to marry her, unless he
oan show he is too poor to purohase hex
at the prioe her father requires.
