Ihis ia a matter of so much im portance that there should be uo delay." A jsuat eut in the big fruit section ia company with Inspector Van Trump is bound to be interesting and enlighten ing, for the inspector knows the "lay or shout every orchard and fruit tract ia the county, and appears to have speaking acquaintance with the iudi vidua! trees. A recent nip through the ivouser bottoms brought to light a num ber of faets M to the conditions of the crops mis season. Most important is the fact that the fruit crop of 191 is far ahead of the early estimates, with the possible exception c prunes. Some of the finest prune orchards of the county ire ia the KeUer distiict and trip through these shows a very fair crop oa many of the trees, with no indi cations of serious disease conditions and a promise that the fruit will be of fine sine. The peach orebwds iu this district are making a good showing in all varieties excepting the Elbertas, which are bad ly affected with curl leaf. One of the finest tracts visited was on the Seymour Jones place, where there are about 400 young trees that will yield an average of two bushels to the tree. The greater part of the peach crop has been bought up on the tree, bringing in the neighbor- hod of 160 a ton. While this seems a small priee compared with the retail nrice of box peaches, the growers con sider it the easiest and most practical method of disposing of the ciop. Home of the finest loganberry fields of the county are located in the Kciser district. Mr: Van Trump pointed out one small patch that had beeu given in tensive cultivation and was Yielding at the rate of 8 tons to the acre; the ban ner tract of the county. A walk through the Chapman yard showed a huge crop hanging on the vines after four weeks of picking, and a prospect Of going tea dr.ys longer. Mr. Chapman estimate!. ais crop at from 4 to 5 tons to the acre. And this is a fair specimen of a berry rield m the district. A number of the orchardists have shown wisdom m alternating walnut trees with their fruit trees, top grafting Mayettes and Franquettes on biack wal nut stock. These trees are doing finely as to growth and the tcn-yesr elds are putting on a fair crop of uutK Kvea in this favored section Inspector Van Trump pointed out how the orchards were taking revenge oa the growers for their mistake and neglect He states that not ten per cent of te . .... - i apple orchardists are properly earing for their trees, and the results are showing up in tho sort of fruit they are sending to market or allowing to rot on the ground. He eontenda that thty slionld either put the orchards on a paying basis or else grub them out and utilize the land for other crops. He notes that hundreds of peach trees are barren be cause they were not properly sprayed for curl leafj that many tres are dying because planted la the wrong location; that tons of cherries have bee a lost be cause proper precautions were not taken against worms.

ABE MARTEN By L. O. Martin (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Washington, July 30. Should the senate fall to ratify tho French defense trenty which is now before the foreign relations committeo, militarists in France will insist that the league of na tions set up a general staff to direct its military operations, and create an inter national armed force, according to oppo sition senators today. These aenators asserted their belief was based on information reeeived from Paris. Senators who made this vlu ra tion are hostile to the loag'tc and tbe French treaty. Kven with the special treaty, they snid their advices show there is a strong demand in France that the league be strengthewd by giving it armed force to sustain its decrees.
