THE EARLIEST FREESTONE PEACH KNOWN 



Originated in Rochester, New York, tree is a strong, upright grower, has 

 stood sixteen degrees below zero and produced a full crop, while the Eliberta 

 and Crawford, under the same conditions in the same orchard produced no 

 blossoms and consequently no fruit. 



Mr. Yarker, Greece, N. Y., who has an orchard of 500 trees reports 17 peaches 

 picked in August from a tree planted the previous spring. 



Mr. C. M. Thomas, 215 W. 40th St., Savannah, Ga., purchased a Rochester 

 Peach from us last February, and picked the first fruit in July. 



For dessert, for canning, it is the best and greatest peach in the world 

 today. 

 Our stock is limited, the demand is tremendous, order at once.

ANOTHER WORD ON LIGHT 

 BURNING

 berry. If we are to have timber, and 

 surely we shall need it, nature's way is 

 not sufficient ever if we could leave her 

 alone in her work. We need to do with 

 the forest as we do with the field of the 

 farmer, we need to have every acre of 

 forestland bearing a crop worthy of care 

 and attention. 



But the fact remains that while Con- 

 gress is unwilling to spend more than 

 about one-tenth the sum required to can- 

 tor the peoples' forest properties ; while 

 the States and individuals do practically 

 nothing, as is still the case, in spite of 

 the "big talk," so long it must seem to 

 many people, just as it does to Mr. White. 

 What is the use of this partial protection 

 which merely piles up the stuff for the next 

 big fire? To this we can only say: Have 

 a little patience; remember that the Forest 

 Service is only 15 years old ; that it has 

 stopped hundreds of bad fires and that Con- 

 gress and the people are learning. 



That we need the change is evident when 

 beech logs which 25 years ago had no sale 

 value at all, can now be sold for $120 per 

 thousand board feet here in Michigan; 

 when ash brings $150 and oak flooring 

 $300, and a single white pine tree sold for 

 $250 on the stump. 



We in Michigan and the East are com- 

 ing to California for our lumber now and 

 what will be the situation 50 years 

 hence? It is encouraging to see men like 

 Senator Capper of Kansas see the press- 

 ing needs of our country and start some 

 movement of promise. 



What will the campaign for "light burn- 

 ing" in California accomplish? Hard to 

 say. The first thing it will do is to start 

 incendiarism; the wholesale burning by 

 every feeble-minded or evil-minded herder, 

 rancher, etc.; it will educate the people to 

 the same position so often met in South 

 and North, where the jury refuses to allow 

 guilt because of the doctrine; it will cost 

 California millions; it will lessen the for- 

 est supplies of the Nation; it will prevent 

 millions of young trees and thousands of 

 fine young stands of pine from growing 

 into anything fit to cut; it will delay the 

 start for real forestry by half a century. 

 and it may spread the evil doctrine to the 

 rest of Western forests and revive it in the 

 South and East. What to do? Stop cam- 

 paigning until we really know. This can 

 be settled by experiments and the Forest 

 Service, as I understand, is now planning 

 for just such experiments where the advo- 

 cates of light burning can be on hand and 

 help on the job. In the meantime, respect 

 and enforce the law and lock up the fire- 

 bug.
