Four hundred thousand bearing peaclitrces in the orchards within a three mile radius of Americus, nnd among the best in the magnificent peach belt of south Georgia, promise excellent results this year. Every tree is in the pink of condition and gives promise of bearing a fine crop. Such are the gratifying reports giv en the Times-Recorder by orchard men, several of whom were In Ameri cus yesterday. Captain C. W. Raymond, proprietor of the Raymond orchard here, states that his trees are in the pink of con dition and the outlook altogether promising. There are one hundred thousand trees In his orchard. The same gratifying reports are made concerning the Ware-Progress orchard of one hundred thousand trees, adjoining the Raymond orchard and in full trim. These two orchards are among the handsomest in- Georgia and are reach ed by the Aniericus-Smithville road, the finest highway In South Georgia, while the Central Railway passes through both orchards, thus facili tating shipping arrangements during the busy fruit season. The Wqrdell orchard of 25,000 trees as well as the Hansford orchard near It are In excellent trim, each promis ing a good peach crop. The Bagley-Ray orchard of two hun dred thousapd fine bearing trees and within two miles of the city limits Is being put In trim for the anticipated good crop. Supt. Scott states that the outlook for an abundant yield peaches thl3 sdason was never better In February. A large force is employed there keeping the trees in order. The Bagley-Ray orchard shipped about fifty cars of peaches last year, despite the short crop, besides sup plying a large quantity of fruit to the canning factory here. This season tho company will de vote all energy nnd attention to the peach orchard, cutting out canteloupes and watermelons, of which large crops were grown last season. Attention to 200,000 peach trees will keep tho en tire forces busy, while net results may aso he Increased. Several thousand trees have boon killed here recently by the San Jose scale, the destructive insect that plays upon them, but orchard men are fight ing It successfully.
