CULTIVATION Of PEACH TREES
"Peach Growing inTexas" is the subject
of bulletin 80, recently issued by the
Texas agricultural experiment station,
which should be in tne hands of eve ry
orchardist in the state. It is compiled
by E. J. Kile and treats the subject from
every possible phase, from the prepara
tion of the land to destroying pests.
Write to College Station, Tex. for a
copy.
Thorough cultivation is undoubtedly
the most important factor in the success
ful growing of peaches in Texas.
The San Francisco board of health
makes a formal report that 452 persons
lost their lives as the result of the earth
quake disaster April 18. Of the victims,
9.26 were killed by falling walls, 177
perished by fire, 7 were shot and 2 died
of ptomaine poisoning due to eating
"emergency" canned goods of poor quality.
The figures givon are for deaths proved
to have occured. This does not cover
the actual loss of life, probably, as there
were doubtless a considerable number of
persons who perished in the fires of whom
nothing remained to prove their death.

There is every reason to believe that
the county fair will be a great deal more
of a success than many have been held to
expect. Many farmers have signified
their intention of making exhibits.
This rain may interfere somewhat with
the grain harvest, but it will certainly
cause a great increase in the sugar beet
