PROSPECTS OF THE PEACH. 



Mr. Husted — The prospects on high grounds in the vicinity 

 of Lowell is fair for a good crop of peaches. On low, soft 

 lands the crop is not promising. 



Mr. Bradfield confirmed Mr. Husted's statement in regard to 

 high land, and that it was the same near Ada. 



Mr. Barclay — In Ada, on high land, peaches are doing good. 

 About one-half the buds are killed, but there will be a good 

 crop. 



Mr. Scott — On bluffs west of the river the buds were very 

 much swollen in the fall, the germ being visible with the 

 naked eye. They appear good and sound now. 



A. T. Linderman — I examined early in winter, and peach 

 buds east of the city were mostly destroyed. 



Mr. Hugh of Adrian — On high lands buds have perfected 

 sufficiently to warrant a crop. 



H. S. Clubb read the report of the condition of peach buds 

 from the report of the Spring Lake convention, already pub- 

 lished in the Herald. 



A letter was read from L S. Linderman of South Haven, 

 stating that fruit buds are all right so far for a heavy crop.
