8,071 CARS LIKELY
PEACH SHIPMENT
CROP MUCH LARGER THAN
LAST SEASON. EARLY SEA
SON AND FAIR PRICES PRE
DICTED BY EXCHANGE
Macon, Ga.—Georgia will furnish
2,071 cars of peaches to the mar
kets of the nation this year, accord
ing to the first official estimate of
the Georgia Peach Growers’ Ex
change, released here Saturday.
The estimate of 8,071 cars ocm
pares 2,001 cars last season
and with the bumper crop of 17,-
803 cars in 1926.
A normal crop, according to those
connected with the trade, is about
12,000 cars.
In dollars and cents, this means
several million dollars to the grow
ers of Georgia.
The annual movement of Georgia
peaches got under way Saturdaj’
when E. E. Payne, of Reynolds,
shipped a crate of peaches to Greer.
,<*■ Milam, of Atlanta.
The markets of the north and east,
where the bulk of the Georgia crop
h
is shipped, with conditions now pre
vailing, should absorb about 10,000
cars without congestion. This means,
it is believed, that good prices will
prevail. By varieties, the estimate
shows the probable number of car
as follows:
Mayflower and Mountain Rose, 6;
Uneedas, 360; Early Rose, 651; mis
cellaneous early, 9; Carmans, 216;
Hileys, 2,310; Georgia Belles. 315,,
Elbertas, 4,075; miscellaneous late,

TIC OVER OUTLOOK FOR STA
PLE. SAYS PRICE WOULD
HELP SOUTH
Atlanta, Ga. —The Southern As
sociation of Agriculture commission
ers today adopted a resolution op
posing the proposed blending of al
cohol with gasoline after G. C.
Adams, Georgia commissioner, had
predicted cotton would be selling for
15 cents a pound by Sept. 1.
The commissioners said the cost
of alcohol would force up the price
of gasoline to farmers if the mixture
was adopted and sent a resolution
opposing the proposal to President
Roosevelt and Southern members of
congress.
In predicting cotton would reaett
15 cents a pound this fall, Adams
said that would be a “reasonable
price” and would end the depression.
Commissioner Harry D. Wilson of
Louisiana, who was elected president
ot the association, said an increase
in .Cotton prices would rehabilitate
the farmer, end the depression and
pave the way for national prosperi
ty.
