After appointing the committees, the regular order of buainean was followed. ORCHARD FRUITS. Mr. Riehi: There are many apples In our locality and they will bring good prices. Buyera are going around and purchasing the crop on tne trees.

Orchards around Jerseyviiki are bearing a full crop of apples of superior quality. Mr. Miles: Our apples for some cause are failing badly. Mr. Hoi.iiriter: In the section where I live appl- are good and a full crop; poaches s.

a only part of crop; peara one-third crop; quinces are a full crop and rpos a very large crop. Small frnico were not discuaaed, their rea jding passed. Mr. Hyud- man aakt that hie strawberry beds were drying up from the continued drouth. VINEYARDS.

Mr. M'Pike: We have a ronmrka- ble Bfinioa tor grapes, the drouth does not hurt them as it does other fruit, and as we have not been troubled with infctttjCF of fungus diseases. We have a finer displii; on the tables today than we for. many yearn. The only troufj'o seem to have with our grupt this year is with tho prices they bnng.

Our viueyardista are taking a deal of pains with their vinos. I ru "er realised thin no much until I fouiii.1 in what high ect.aeui our work is held by other "societies. I waa invited to attend the United States Pomological Society, which met at Columbus, Ohio, and I there met some of the greatest fruit men in thin country, men from every State in the Union. It was a pleasure to meet men who had spe'nt their lives in tha interest of pomology. The State fair via in session and they had a beautiful of fruit.

They had a long Hat of apples but no peaches. Their grapes were very beautiful. I met Mr Campbell, the originator of the Delaware grape; he had the Early Campbell erape on exhibition and I had my "M'Pike" there. The Campbell early IB fairly good grdpe. It Is there on the table.

It is a grape, of medium size, having a largo, long bunch. When I arrived home I found letters inquiring ubout my grape awaiting, me I watt asked to exhibit; it at the Indianapolis fair next week. The pomologiats in Ohio and other states think well of the work of our society; they recognize the fact that onr members are energetic. Our bound has helped onr work known. We have sent out some beautiful new fruita.

Such men as Dr. Hull and Riley, belonging to dur society, have of course helped to such a wide reputation for goou work. Mr. liiohl: We have nearly all of the new varieties Bent out by Munaon but there are none of them suitable for market. The Hoffman, very largo black grapo, seems to me perfection aa a wine grape: Some.of the Munsons are good as table grapea for home use.

Mr. M'Pike: I wind to Mr Rle'ul a question. While ac Columbus aorno wine men stated tuat the Pook- lington made a very'fine wine. With itaweek growth, defective'leaf and irregular ripening, could itbedeyel- ope A here for a profitable Mr. Rtehl: No.

I would nob attempt to grow it here. Mr. Pearson: There Is no uae lor ua to try to grow grapea for winea We can Import wines cheaper than grow it ourselves. Mr. Sims: I have some fl-o egg plants, but they are all 'dried-up now Mr.

Holliater: It is entirely too now for late vegetables where I live" There were some good earty potatoei and egg-plant anu aweet corn. Late potatoes will do little. Mr. Pearson: Can you make early grown potatoes keep through the winter into spring? Mr. Crowe: 'Yow can keep early Ohio if you put tlieru in the cellar while they are cool, and then keep them so.

They wont, keep If you pu them away while they are hot from the Held. We have to get our potatoes up thia month. They seem to be verj everywhere. Th Germans around here have a way of raising them under straw. They are large, fine nnd amooth.

Mr. Uurd: I planted my potatoes In an old strawberry bed aim let the woods grow all over them. My po tatoes were aa iine as ever I bad; the neighbors came and bought all I op.uk posaibly spare at per bushel, ORNAMENTAL 1'LANTINO.

Washington, Sept. General McKenna announced his opinion In the matter of section 22 of the new tariff law.

roKlnmstov Ocnnrnl Gary's Data on Postal Savings Dunks. Washington, Sept. 22. The Interest whleh Postmaster General Gary is taking la the establishment of a postal savings bank will 1 result in a wonderCu'l popularization of the Idea. A campaign of education which has already been entered upon in a straggling will before long be made to yield results.

The postofllce department Is collecting official information on the sub- jeot from every source, and by the time congress meets the lawmakers will have at command an immense amount of data showing what has been done 'in countries where postal savings banks have been In use for a period of years. Postmaster General Gary In his forthcoming report will pay particular attention to the Canadian system which seems to be adapted to the needs of the western hemisphere rather better than the systems in vogue In the old world. The Canadian postal savings bank had deposits on hand at the time of the last official report amounting to about which represented the savings of 154,000 depositors. Th6 population of Canada approximates 5,000,000. It is altogether probable that If a similar system Is established in the United States the proportion depositors and of savings will be larger than in Canada, but even allowing that It is the same, the number of persons who 'would intrust their savings to the care of the government would be 2,620,000 and the amount of money, they would have on deposit nearly $500,000,000.
