‘ PEACHES lN NE weuetanol .
(By George French).
"Most people of New England ances‘
try'ha‘ve heard their parents or grand-
parents tell about the. line crops of
patches that were harvested when
they was young, from trees glowing
where there are now no peaches. El-
deriy people remember when the
“peach crops were as sure as the apple
apps are now. Then there came a
time. the span of a generation, during
men there were veiy i'ew peaches

fireal trouble wasthat the people did
I, not know how to raise peaches. They
s got to thinking that the peach tree
should live and beer as long as the no
pie, and because it did not. and the
trees stopped bearing and died after
' n_they were from ten to twenty years
, old, they believed that New England
climate was not adapted to peaches.
trees.
Then the peach began to be a common
They Were shipped,
in» awkward wood crates at first. When
they became a staple. and the growers
had learned what varieties would on
dure shipment, some New Englanders
began to think again about the peach.
. .‘I'he first thing they found out
' that they did not know much about
‘ was
what the peach required. Then they
discOVered that the rocky old pastures,
filled with so many rocks that there
was scarcely room tor grass enough
for sheep to find it, were the very best
_ peach land in all the world.
The man who really discovered this,
interesting fact is J. H. Hale. of Con-
necticut, who raised his first market-
able peaches on his late father‘s pas-
ture and a. church mortgage, and by
[persistently doing that wnich his wise
neighbors told him he must not do.
He manured his pouch trees with com.
mon sense and exact knowledge, and
pay him
somewhere around a cool million. Now
he is not only the biggest peach man
in the Nutmeg state, but the biggest
“peach man in the country. if not in
the world. The rocky Connecticut
soil, too poor to soil or hoop, has made
him 11. millionaire. He had no capital,
or experience. or friends. lie just
found out what sort of soil and climate
and treatment the peaches needed,
and gave it to them. it does not mat-
ter that 110w he is turning some of his
peach land into apples. He has made
out his case. Apples are a more but~
plo crop. The trees live and bear a
hundred years. And Mr. Halo is not

zlooks back on middle age~11erhaps
Probably Mr. Hale has found that his
example has lured so many into the
peach business that there is not now
quite the margin of proiit there was in
his palmy peach days. Be that as it
may, there is yet plenty of peach op-
portunity in New England We have
not yet got very near to the limit of
profitable peach raising, and will not
until New England is able to supply
her own markets. As long as‘ there
are 'New York. orfiMlchigén, or Color»
do peaches in‘ New England fruit
stores during the New England peach
season, no one need hesitate to put
out New England peach orchards, it
they have the right kind of soil and
can depend upon the early frost dates.
Science must be invoked, to discount
the. early frosts. as that Connecticut
:‘growor invoked it. when he pushed his
crop ten days ahead of the average by
the use of nitrate of potash. Elie used
nitrogen. potash. or phosphoric acid,
as the trees and season told him to.
He has 400 acres in peaches, and is
setting more every year. lie has
trees nearing twenty years of age that
are still bearing profitable crops. How
the traditions of the past do go down
before good common sense and exact
knowledge! This is the man who has
been oil'ered a million dollars for-bis
farm. but will not sell because he
knows that what pays him bigger than
anything else is his brains. Peach
trees yield large individual crops in
New England. as do apple trees. They
begin to bear in the third year, but
rarely make a profitable crop before
the filth. At seven or eight good
trees often yield as much as twenty to
twenty-five baskets, that bring an ave<
rage of seventy—live cents. Figure this
out. Suppose you had a lino-acre form
of nightwear peach trees! Peach trees
are. or ought to be, set about fifteen
teat apart. This shows how you can
figure, so many trees to measure and
eight baskets to the tree at 75 cents
per basket.
Roughly speaking, the bulk of good
poor )1 land in New England is in cm
sachusetts and Connecticut, though
there are good smull regions in all or
