PEACH GROWER
INVESTIGATES CROP
OVER PEACH BELT
Claud G. Barnett has returned
from a trip through middle and
South Georgia, including the coun
ties of Morgan, Jasper, Bibb, Peach,
and Macon, where he investigated
the prospects of the 1949 peach crop.
South of the city of Macon he
found that the only variety that is
not dormant is Hiley’s. That section
has not had sufficient cold weather
this winter to produce buds. Peach
experts claim that trees need 900
hours of weather under 45 degrees
to make them bud and bloom in
the Spring. Some of the orchards
in that section will scarcely produce
a bloom this season.
“The crop in Jackson County is
O. K. up to the present time. Unless
there is a late frost this section
should produce an average crop,”
said Mr. Barnett, who owns an or
chard on the Jefferson-Commerce
highway.

JOHNSON SINGS IN
A CAPPELLA CHOIR
Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Johnson, Mr.

to attend a concert given by G. S.

The choir has a personnel of more
than 70 students, capably directed
by Max Noah. They gave a concert
in Decatur on Sunday night, and
later will go to Washington City
and New York.
Of the performance the Athens
Banner Herald said:
“Those who heard this choir were
impressed with the excellence of
the music, selected from contempo
rary writers as well as the master
composers. Considering the fact, too,
that they sang without any instru
mental accompaniment with fine
effect was an accomplishment. The
harmonies were well defined, and
such artistic achievement is evi
dence of good planning, much time
spent in rehearsing, as well as tal
ent.”
