GEORGIA PEACHES.
President Cunningham, of the Fruit t’n
lon, Talk* on Fruit Situation.
"Alter visiting 54 peach shipping
points in Georgia. 1 estimate that
the Georgia crop will aggregate
nearly 7,000 cars, and if properly dis
tributed should bring $1.25 per crate,
said John D. Cunningham, president
of the American Fruit Union, who
stopped in Atlanta Wednesday and
Thursday. “The cars average 500
elates each, which would make the
total value of the crop about $<3,500,-
000.” >
Mr. Cunningham, who has his
headquarters at Cincinnati, stated
that his organization, which is com
posed entirely of growers from 13
states, is in splendid shape. At pres
ent, lie said, the membership is 1,600.
The aim of the organization is to dis
tribute peaches so as to avoid glut
ting auy markets, and in that way
get gdod prices.
“If the present methods continue,
said Mr. i.uiiningham, the peach in
dustry in Georgia will be choked to
death. Right now fine peach or
chards are being cut down near Aus
tell, and in many other places, be
cause the farmers can not get the
proper prices for the fruit.
“The Georgia Peach Growers’ As
sociation failed to distribute the
crop properly about 12 years ago, not
because of mismanagement but be
cause they conflicted with other
states. Cars from Georgia would be
sent to Baltimore, say, and would
there meet cars from Texas. The re
sult would be an oversupply at a low
price.
“Following that failure, the Un
ion was organized, and it took us
live years to get the system to work
ing properly. We •are now able to
tell just how many cars leave each
state each day and their destination.
We get this information from various
sources, and use it so that we can
ship peaches to points which have
been overlooked or the undersup
plied. The success of the Union does
not depend upon the backing of a
majority of the growers as other en
terprises have.
“It is foolish to say that there is
auy danger of overproduction. There
is a demand for all the peachers that
can be grown if they are properly
placed.
“Suppose by some accident twice
the supply of flour needed was ship
ped into Atlanta. Immediately much
of it would be reshipped, and there
would be practically no drop in the
prices. But if it were peaci.es they
could not be shipped,and would have
to be sold for anything they would
bring and prices wo,uld go way down.
“The industry was on its last legs
in California when the California as
sociation was formed. Nearly all the
orchards were mortgaged. The banks
took up the proposition and told the
growers that if they did not enter
the association they would foreclose
the mortgages, bid thm in and run
them themselves. The growers
signed up and the result has been
that, altho land is much higher than
in Georgia water rents for irrigation
have to be paid and transportation
costs more, the California growers
are in fine shape.”

THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JUNE u 1908
ROAD CONGRESS.
President Roosevelt Names Prominent
Representative* to the Meeting.
President Roosevelt has directed
that this nation be strongly and
officially represented at the interna
tional Road Congress to be held at
Paris the week beginning October 11,
and credentials have been issued
naming Logan Waller Page, Direct
or of the Office of Public Roads of
fhe U. S. Department of Agriculture,
chairman of the Cpmiuission. The
other members named are Colonel
Charles 8. Bromwell of the United
States Corps of Engineers, now serv
ing as Superintendent of Buildings
and Grounds of the District of
Columbia, and Clifford Richardson
of New York, an eminent chemist
and one of the world’s acknowledged
authorities on bituminous road build
ing materials.
This coining Congress, which will
be attended by distinguished dele
gates from every country in the
world, is regarded by highway en
gineers and experts as probably the
most important ever summoned for
the discussion of an economic ques
tion. Its need is the direct out
growth of the advent of the automo
bile, for while thousands are ignor
ant of the fact, the soft tires of the
modern motor-car are the greatest
menace the hard surface thorough
fares of the world have ever been
called upon to face. To understand
how a pneumatic tire made of rubber
could possibly injure a road surfaced
with particles of crushed rock, one
must have at least a faint under
standing of the theories on which
first Tresauget of Limoges and then
Macadam of Ayr built that class of
highway. They figured that a road
composed of crushed stone would
not only endure the constant traffic
of iron-tired vehicles,but would im
prove because the metal-bound
wheels would be constaxitly crushing
the stones and forming rock dust.
That dust would, they argued, not
merely sift itself into all cracks and
interstices, but would fill all surface
inequalities and when wet would be
rolled into a smooth, impervious,
water-shedding, shell-like sur
face.
They reasoned well, built wisely,
and for over a century and a quar
ter the so-called macadam road did
everything that the famous French
and Scotch highway engineers claim
ed it capable of. It came to be the
ideal road for suburban sections, and
thousands of miles were built.
France to date has spent $660,000,-
000 on her incomparable system of
rock-surfaced National routes and
the United States has followed to a
degree, possessing at the present
time approximately 32,000 miles to
this class of highway.
Prior to the advent of the automo
bile the roads improved, but the
modern speed vehicle had not been
traversing the surburban highways
long before a pronounced retrogres
sion of the most generally traveled
stretches was very noticeable. Com
plaints came from farmers and from
dwellers along surburban roads that
a great dust nuisance had also sprung
up and that emerald lawns were
taking on the hue of London fog and
that box hedge was dove grey rather
than green. Fruit farmers noted
their products becoming gritty and
prices fell off.
Investigation proved at once that
the new conditions had been created
by the automobile and highway
engineers in every civilized land be
gan studying the new condition and
st|e king tor a remedy. In this coun
tn\ Director Page conducted a series
of interesting experiments in which
various classes of automobiles were
sent at varying rates of speed over
selected stretches of road, while ex
pert photographers pictured their
progress and produced proof that
the tractive force of the rear tires
did the damage. While he was
watching that work and was exper
imenting with various dust laying
liquids, France was doing the same
on an even larger scale. That coun
try, which expends vast sums annual
ly on maintaining the well nigh per
fect system of highways it has been
building since the days of the first
Napoleon, made a most complete set
of measurements and learned that
the automobiles had caused the roads
of the Republic to retrograde fully
forty per cent. It was decided to
summon the thought, skill and intel
ligence of tile world to combat a
condition which means great finan
cial losses and the official invitations
to the Congress xvere sent out, the
French Government formally re
questing the U. S. Government to
participate in the Congress.
That President Roosevelt is per
sonally so deeply interested in the
coining gythering as to send the
Director of Roads and his distin
guished associates to France may by
some be regarded as evidence of a
National awakening to the vast im
portance good roads are to the na
tion.
Invitations have been transmitted
through the Office of Public Roads
to State highway Commissioners,
City Engineers and Park Commis
sioners to attend the Congress and
already a number of delegates have
been selected.
