Dearth of refrigerator cars along the
line of the Western and Atlantic rail
road la causing very serious worry to
poach shipper*.
Tuesday morning several thousand
crates were stacked at the depots of
Calhoun, AdalrsvUle. and Intermediate
points, and no refrigerator cars to move
them to market. Persons In AUants
Teusday morning from that section say
that growers and shipper* are very,
very sore over the failure of the re
frigerator people to supply plenty pf
cars.
Usually the movement of peaches In
north Georgia begins a week or more
after the south and middle Georgia
crop has been gathered and marketed.
This year has proved a remarkable
exception to the usual conditions. The
south and middle Georgia crop was
not out of the way before north Geor
gia Elbertaa were ready for picking and
marketing.
The refrigerator car people were
caught unaware, and though making
heroic efforts to supply plenty of cars,
they have been unable to do so. Be
fore the peach movement begins agents
of the Armour Company go carefully
over the peach tone and get a pretty
clear Insight In j the probable volume
of the crop and the number of cars
that will be needed.
But owing to the cbndltlona this sea
son with the north and south Georgia
shipping periods conflicting. It has cre
ated a state of affairs difficult to over
come.
The north Georgia grower* have met
unusual hardships this year. Heavy
rains have made gathering tha crop
hasardous and difficult work, and
caused considerable rot to appear In th*
fruit.
And labor ha* been both acarce and
truculent. Much of the time In tha
north Georgia orchards It has rained,
hut the laborers have Insisted on full
pay for the dny, when perhaps they
would be Idle thA better part or It.
Grow era were defenseless, because
they had to have the labor. It la un
derstood that many of them will ac
tually lose on the season’s crop on ac
count of theae adverse conditions. Oth
ers will be satisfied with an even break,
while a few, more fortunate, will make
money.
