HOULT
This Is good winter weather for
March. Had we had more snow scattered
throughout the winter the prospects
for many things like strawberries and
wheat would have been better.
We are sorry to coroborate the doleful
predicitlons from Laurel Point
about the peach prospects. It Is not
true here that all peaches are killed
but enough are dead to look discouraging.
Some varieties, like the El-J
herta and stump for Instance, seem |
lime nurt, while others seem all Killed.
We must take Into account, how- L
ever, the wonderful recuperative powers
of the poach and that if 10 per
cent, of the bloom In mist years are
alive it is sufficient for a good crip
Last year at this time I announced all
peaches as killed and yet some of our
trees broke diwn from the weight of
peaches.

LONDON Feb. 15?(Correspondence
' The Associated Press)?Australia
111 be the great mecca (or the British
(Idler after the war, In the opinion
' Andrew Fisher. High Commissioner
ir Australia In London. "Australia to
ly offers the greatest return for
iergy of any country In the world,"
3 declared today. " Agreat deal has
;en made In England of our plans for
ittllng soldiers on the land, and this
ibliclty In Itself Is going to result
i an unprecedented rush for the
land continent as soon as peace
>mes.
"The only question In the minds of
ustrallan statesman Is whether we
tall be able to cope with the rush,
here Is no question that we need
te men, and we are making every preiratlon
to be ready for them. Aus-alia
Is an exporter of food and lmorter
of men. Great Britlan for a
sntury has been an Importer of food,
nd an exporter of more adventurous
t her boob. Australia wants populatin,
but she wants an independent
opulallon and she wants it upon the
ill. So she will have to provide orxnlzed
means for settling the lmmlrants
where they will do the most
DOd."
Under the present constitution of
le Australian commonwealth, the
ind of the continent Is solely the proerty
of the various states. In any
theme of land settlement It was there
ire necessary to consult the governLents
of the states. A series of conirences
to this end are now in pro
reus, explained Mr. Fisher.
"The keynote of the scheme which
e have adopted is that the British
Jldler and Australian soldier shall
lare and share alike. They have
lared the toll of the war together.
1 the trenches they have made a
lendshlp that will last beyond the
;as, when it will merge into a mutal
citizenship in the new land of the
>uth.
"The money needed by the settlers
111 be advanced through existing
late agencies at moderate interest
itee. The land itself will be provided
radically free of charge. In Queens,
ind, for example, the land will be
ased under a perpetual lease. There
111 be no initial payment for this
lase, and there will be no rent to be
aid during the first three years. In
Western Australia, each s'ttler will
a given, without charge, 160 acres,
he government will clear some of
le land for him and provide the neewary
financial assistance through
le Agricultural Bank.

land waa difficult, alow, and expenalre.
Now the small man can start1
with a good prospect of being comfortably
settled after a few years' work.
Large pastoral holdings are to be converted
Into argrlcultural areas where
wheat la grown. Other land will be
used for mixed farming or dairying."
The development of Australia from
now on, continued Mr. Fisher, will be
greatly accelerated by railway build-;
lug. About 21400 miles are now open
for traffic, practically all state-owned.1
Much bigger things In railway building,
however, are being planned for
the next few years.
"The Commonwealth parliament |
said Mr. Fisher, "is providing for the
construction of great trunk railways,
spanning the continent from Eost to
West, and from North to South. The
Transcontinental from east to west Is
now on the point of completion. It
runs from Port Augusta In South Australia
to Kalgoorlle In Western Australia.
It has been a monumental undertaking.
It Is a fir '.-class line of four
feet eight one half Inch gauge, capable
of luxurious traveling at high [
speed. It has been built entirely by
the Commonwealth government by
day labor, without the aid of contractors.
Australia engineers made the
plans, and Australian steel works supplied
most ot the rails. To build the
line was alone a great undertaking,
for in all Its 1,000 miles of length
there was practically no civilization,
it was built In two sections?simultaneously
from either end, and today
the construction camps are getting
hourly Into touch. It will be a dramatic
meeting there In the silent heart
ot the continent.
"That meeting will bring Western
Australia within 48 hours of the Eastern
states. It will open up thousands
of miles of new country, which will
support a large population."
