JTKE TALK or THU COMMISSION I II.
As tho peoou crop has become one of,
tbe most important in Georgia, and as
some psach-grbwer* in our state are new
at this business, some hints on this sub
ject may porve belptul to uiuny. Tne
condition in which peaches reach the
market aud their adaptability for tbe
fruit trade depend largely npon tbe
manner in whiou they are graded aud
packed. In some orchards n<o special
preparations are made beforehand, aud
there is no special organization for the
work. Unskilled hands do the packing
aud through carelessness in Che selec
tion a few peaches, perhaps but slightly
tainted, find their way into the crates,
with the result that the whole mass be
come* infected and the fruit rejected by
the dealer* is thrown back upon the
hands of the shipper. Then we hear
the complaint that there Is no money in
peaches. But Providence has uevor yet
bestowed a gift upon a people for file
handling of which there could not be
found some intelligent aud hence suc
cessful method. '
The orchards of Georgia have ottrac-
tod each wide attention throughout the
United State* that we find them fre

Deak hilt—Your favor of May ti re

we find a murset for 100 tons of wheat
hay?" This is rather a hard qnestiou to
answer. We have made some inquiries
from tbe wholesale grass and graiu men
of Atlanta to see if we could not induce
them to take hold of this whqat bay and
put it on the market, that it might take
tbe place of timothy and other north
western grasses. They sav thut they

“Some pretend to say that they 1 can

best iu their power to create a market,
not only for wheat hay, but for other
good Georgia grasses, as Bermuda and
peaviue. 1’hey say tho r-i.wou why they
handle the northern gra-ses is that they
are uniform from mouth to mouth uud
year to veur, ami that having hi. up a
considerable tiade, not only in Atlanta,
but iu the surrounding sections, with
inese grasses, it is nurd to breait the peo

are willing, as we have said above, to
