They will not succeed on poorly drained soils. It follows that the heavy lay types which are so hard and impervious that water does- not percolate through them readily are to

be avoided as a rub". Moreover, a soil

should be moderately f rtile. Om

very rich in nitrogen is not to be de--ir"d as a general rub, sine' it is likely to indure an excessive growth of foliage. On the other hand, the? impression which I-5 somewhat common that a poor, unfertile soil is "good enough for peaches" is erroneous. In di.-tricts in which alkali soils occur, sites should be selected with a view to avoiding them. While the peach tree ran be grvvn where there is a limited amount of the alkali salts, they cause disaster if present in large ojiantiti s. It is safer, therefore, to avoid them as far as possible. As a general proposition, a site that is elevated considera )y above the surrounding areas is to he preferred for ii peach orchard. llelative elevation if generally of greater importance than actual elevation above sea level. It is a we -ll-rccogniz d fact, though one too often overlooked in selecting sites for ore-hards, that cold air se ttles to the lower bls. For this reason it is often colder at the low r elevations than it is at higher points in the same locality. This is what is meant by '"atmospheric drainage."

.commonly asked is. "What slope is

best'.'" It is one that admits of no direct answer. No one slope, is preferable tinder all conditions and in all regions. In fact, the intluence which a partkulr exposure- may have in the success of an erchard is probably inui-o over-emphasized in the popular mind. As a rule, it is doubtless safe to assume that a site having a moderate slope in other directions is to be pie-ferre-d for erehard purposes, edber things be ing equal, to one that is level, one having a dope will usually have bctt r soil and atmospheric elrainage thar. a level area. The new bulletin shows how te-m-perature is a limiting factor in peach growing. It also explains the general feature-s ef the propagation of peach trees which should be understood by beach growers, even though the average peach grower is not concerned directly with the subject. The bulletin then proceeds te give details regarding the planting and tillage of the orchard, as well as an explanation of method.: of maintaining the fertility of the soil.

TRAINS ARE STALLED ON ICE-COATED TRACKS Strnw Plows Vnahle te ('e)jM With Situation in Northern Michigan Where- Trallic i- StejpjHuI.

POUT HURON, Mich.. Ueb. 3. Not a train, passenger or freight, h:ts

moved on the Port Austin division of; j

the Pere Marquette railroad since ; j

Monday. Those trains which startenl out before the snow and sleet storm of Sunday and Monelny are stalled at various places alone: the line. The heuvy snow, followed by sleet and rain ami then cold, has covered the tracks with ice to a depth of from six to ten inches, and all this must be removed with picks and axes. Snowplows which were sent out to clear the tracks were derailed as soon as they struck the ice-armored rails, and are now resting In the ditch. It is expected that several hours more will elapse before service can be resumed. Passengers on trains stalled along the way are being cared for by the railroad company, which hast sent fuel and provisions to them by wagons and auts from the nearest towns. Not a single person has been injureel. s far as known, by the derailing of trains, snowplows or light engines sent out on relief expeditions.
