*LL DECAYED PEACHES
Uneeda Variety Especially Sus
ceptible to Blight Caused
by Rotten Fruit
FORT VALLEY, June 18.
—Georgia peach growers are be
ing urged to remove decayed
fruit from the ground under the
trees in their orchards in a bul
letin issued here today by the
Government and State Laboratory.
“After the picking crews go
through an orchard a number of
peaches are to be found under the
trees- where they fell during har
vest operations,” it is stated .“In
most cases the grower pavs no at
-9 tention to this fruit it
to remain indefinitely in the or
chard where it decays and mumi
fies. This decayed fruit is unques
tionably the cause of much ot the
brown rot on the fruit of suc
ceeding peach crops and it is very
possible that it is also responsible
tor a quantity of the blossoms
blight that causes so many of the
blooms to dry up in the spring
without setting fruit.
“It is indeed a dangerous and
unsanitary orchard practice to al
low peaches to decay and mumify
in the orchards where they have
fallen during harvest. Sources of
brown rot mummies may be active
in giving off spores for eight con
secutive seasons. Peach growers
are urged to go through the or
chard after every few pickings and
to have all fallen peaches picked
up, hauled put and destroyed by
burying with quicklime at least
two feet below the soil surface.
After the harvest of each variety
is completed the trees should be
carefully gone over and stripped
of all fruits which the pickers have
missed in order to prevent the for
mation of brown rot cankers on
the twigs which will result when
peaches are aollwed to rot on the
trees.
“The Nneeda is especially sus
ceptible to blossom blight and
special care should be exjjroised
in Uneeda orchards and orchards
of other early varieties to rid them
of all fruits left on the ground
each day after the picking has
been finished. The prompt and
proper disposition of refuse fruits
from the peach orchards in Geor
gia is a matter of vital importance
in safe-guarding the industry’s fu
ture and peach growers should
unite in their efforts to enforce
the proper orchard sanitation.’
HOKE SMITH STRONG
FOR WORLD COURT
-
AIL A/ N T A, June 18.
Former U. S. Senator Hoke Smith
of Georgia, who addressed the an
nual convention here of the Na
tional Association of Credit Men,
is a strong advocate for the Unit
ed States entering the court of in
ternational justice. He made this
C clear both in his address and in
discussing the subject with Atlanta
men.
“If we sign the agreement ap
proving the court we take our
place beside the other nations
which have so signed,” Senator
Smith said, “and will be bound by
decisions of the court only in such
cases as may thereafter voluntar
ily submit to the court.
“It is not proposed that the
United States shall give its suppoit
to the court except with a pro
viso that thereafter the United
States shall participate in the elec
tion of members of the tribunal
upon an equality with other
states, members of the League of
Nations, both in the council and
in the assembly of the League.”
