There is a variety of soil in i his section which makes it better adapted to the fruit Industry than a country where they have only one kind, as different fruits require dtffer- t nt soils. We have In this section sandy lands, clay lands, and also a rolling and slightly hilly country, which makes tills section finely adapted to the eul lure of fruit. L. P. Lester. SMITHVILLE. The County Will Ship Forty Cars of Fruit. Sraithville, June 15.—(Special.)— Ther will be shipped from the Smith- vllle depot fruit as follows, according as based on my former experience In shipping: W. W. Thompson will ship as fol lows: LeConte Pears. 6,500 bushels; Kelffcr pears. 4,000 bushels: Japan plums, 1,000 bushels; peaches. 1.000 bushels. O Hays: LeConte pears, 1,2000 buBh- els; Kelffer pears, 800 bushels. I. D. Reichert: LeConte pears, 1,000 bushels; J. G. Barfield, 500 bUBhels; G. H. Hays, 200 bushels; W. D. Wells, I, 0000 bushels; J. W. Wells, 500 bush els; J. W. Clark, 300 bushels. R. P. Johnson will ship; LeConte pears, 500 bushels; peaches, 500 bush els; Japan plums, 500 bushels; Kelffer pears, 500 bushels. G. D. Avera will ship: LeConte pears, 200 bushels. Mrs. Aimer Car penter, LeConte pears, 200 bushels; peaches, 100 bushels; other small lots LeContes, 1,000. Total amount to ship from the Smlthvllle depot of pears, plums and peaches wll amount to 22,500 bushels, or fifty car loads of 24,000 pounds. I cannot estimate the melon shipment, ,t not being in my line, but there will be many car loads. This estimate does not include all of Lee county, but what Is contlglous to Smtthville only. Other shipping points I cannot esti mate, but the shipments will be heavy. There are but few who have given fruit growing for market any atten tion in Lee county. Though It Is as jood for fruit growing as any county in the state and for pear growing Is perhaps the very .best. We have had less blight than any section of the state up to date. There will be a fine exhibit of fruit from this section at the Peach Car nival and ther will also be a large attendance. W. W. Thompson. BARNES V1LLE. Her Leading Growers Are Working for the Big Show. Bamesvllle, June 15.—(Special.)—The outlook for the fruit crop In this sec tion Is very promising. Especially is this true of the peach crop, which Is unusually large. The peaches are larger and finer than they have been In a year or two be fore and the trees are burdened down with them. They are large, healthy, finely flavored and of an extraordinary line quality. So It is with apples,pears, plums and other fruits. Fruits arc more abundant and of a better qual ity than in years before. Already many peaches have been shipped from Bamesvllle. Those hip ped are of the Alexander variety and are the earliest peaches raised here. They ripen about June 1 and are the principal early variety grown. The Elbcrtas and Stemet of the World are a later peach and ripen about July 10. The fruit crop Is about two weeks later than usual on account of the late spring. There will be something .’Ike thirty cars of peaches shipped from Bames vllle the present season, and all of live cars of grapes. The melon crop is promising and the vinos are now line and healthy. About 100 cars of melons are shlped from here each sea son. Bamesvllle will be represented at the Georgal Peach Carnival at Macon. Messrs. V, O. Marshburn, J. A. Staf ford, W. C .Stafford and others of the larger fruit growers are In favor of having an exhibit there and some defi nite arrangements may be made In a few days about getting up a suitable exhibit. A. S. Hardy. OGLETHORPE Looking Forward to the Carnival With Great Interest. Oglethorpe, June 15.—(Special.)—The Peach Carnival In Macon, from July 1st to July 20th, Is the subject of con versation here now and, of course, that brings up the pluck and vim of Ma con.' The people here look forward to the Carnival with keen Interest and sev eral of our growers and shippers have declared their Intention of having some of our luscious fruit on exlbition there. The good that this enterprise will do to southwest Georgia is Incal culable and should he encouraged by all who feci an Interest In Georgia. The peach crop In this section Is an abundant one and the growers expect a rich reward from them. Already plums have been shipped from here In large quantities and the peaches will follow soon. Watch Macon county at the great Peach Carnival. other points throughout the county since. The prospects for a fine crop of mel ons Is very line. I was told today by a gentleman who has been taking in the fruit producing regions of southwest Georgia that there would probably be not more than a half crop of pears taking In the pear belt as a whole, and that the pears would bo unusually smallt unless we had rain very soon. He stated, how ever. that the crop was much better around Thomasvllle than any other point In the pear belt. It Is estimated by those who know that the peach crop for this section will exceed. In quality and quantity, that of any previous year. There has grown up In the northern portion of Thomas county, principally around Meigs and Pelham, an Im mense grape Industry, which Is a sur. prise to all who visit that section. II Is a common thing to sec vineyards covering from twenty-five to one hun dred acres, and the success with which they are meeting Is something wonder ful. While there has been no Immediate action taken toward having this coun< ty represented at the Georgia Peach Carnival, such a step Is favorably spoken of, and it Is hoped and lleved that Thomas county will not lag in this matter. J. J. Lunsford. LEESBURG. THOMASVILLE. Thomas County Looks With Favor On an Exhibit. Thomasvllle. June IS.—(Special.)— Thomasvllle and Thomas county are very much elated over the fact that the first car load of Oeorgla melons were shipped from this county on last Wednesday. They were shipped from McDonald, a small town on the Geor gia Northern railroad. In the eastern portion of this county, and averaged about twenty-two pounds. Several car loads have been shipped from here and Cheap Lands, a Fine Crop and a Big Exhibit at the Carnival. Leesburg, June 15.—(Special.)—The outlook Is splendid. We have a soil that is finely adapted to the production of peaches. We have size, color and flavor. Land3 are at reasonable rates —33 to 310 per acre—and In a latitude that enables us to put the first fruit upon the market. The second solid 'car of this season was shipped from here, and from one orchard. We look forward to the time when Lee county will rank second to nono as a fruit growing county. We have 50,000 peach trees In the neighborhood of Leesburg. Most of our trees arc young and not In bearing this year. Good profits have been realized so far. Four hundred amj sixty cases have been shipped and several cars will be shipped later. Opinion Is very favorable to an ex hibit at the Peach Carnival. We will have an exhibit of the resources of the county. The Telegraph has materially aided us to agitate cheap homo seekers' rates. OORDON. The Peach Carnival Is All the Talk and Handsome Exhibits Coming. Gordon, June 15.—(Special.)—The fruit outlook, which has almost reach ed the stage of perfection, Is as fine as It is possible to be. The little town, for the first time in three years, pre sents a thrifty apearance. Every mer chant lias a force of hands making crates In the afternoon nf each day to ship the fruit they know will come In on the following morning. The peaches are exceptinnaly line thin sea son, notwithstanding the trees are full that farmers huve to pn>;i them In order to keep them from being ruined. The Peach Carnival Is all the talk now and you may look for ns hand some exhibits from tills section ns from anywhero In the whole peach section. The watermelon industry Is very ex tensive with us and the fields arc dot ted with tilts luscious variety of fruit of ull colors and sizes. Wo were visited yesterday with a fine rain ,which will perfect tile de velopment of the different kinds of fruit. VALDOSTA. By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them at the Carnival. Valdosta, June 15.—(Special.)—The late spring and excellent seasons have given to this section a prospect for an almost unprecedented crop of fruit. Trees have not had a single set-back, except the pear, which, as,usual, Is at tacked by its most formidable foe, the blight. Peach trees are hanging so heavily with their burden of trull that the smaller limbs break under the load. The crop Is. of course, a little late, but a few peaches have been placed upon the market during the past week, whleh ate exeeptlonally fine for the early crop, and noticeably free from rot und ull traces of Insects. The melon crop is about ten days late, although a few may be seen In market now. It lu reported that the acreage Is much less than last year and the crop not in us flourishing con dition. Valdosta will probably ship her first car during the next week. It 1s to be hoped that some one will take the matter In hand and see that our section Is well represented at the Georgia Peach Carnival, for Its pos sibilities cannot be better shown than by a fine Kolb Gem and a big red peuch, for “by their fruits shall ye know them." John T. Blalock. ALBANY. The Crop Will Be tho Largest Ever Gathered In Dougherty County. Albany, June 15.—(Special.)—The fruit crop of this section Is an as sured success. The trees being well fruited and weighted down from the enormously large crop that will soon be gatherd from them this season. The pear crop will not be os large as usual on account of blight. Nearly al the trees 1 have Been seem to be blighted so much that they will have to be cut down, but the other fruits are a success. There have been several large ship ments of peaches from this section al ready. Among the ahlppera are J. M. Tift, D. W. Klrkman and others.I All around tlic elty looks to bo an orchard and In a few years Albany will rank as a shipping point second to none. Among our lurgest growers are Mr. J. M. Tift, who bus about 1,000 trees that are bearing; Mr. M. V/essolow- slty, who has a good many; Mr. M. Nelson, Mr. Jim.Johnson, Mrs. B. F. Wilder and numbers of others. Grapes grow In profustlon here Nearly all tho growers of fruits have laige vineyards. The melon crop Is nearly assured. Specimens have been brought In that weighed as high as thirteen pounds. There is a large acreage planted In this section. Home of them claim they will be able to ship by the 20th of the month. Judging from the pres ent outlook tho fruit crop of this i lion will bo the largest that was ever gathered. I have teen the grower? around here who say they will certainly have dis plays, and from what I can learn, Dougherty county will bo well repre sented at the Georgia Peach Carnival. AMER1CU8. The People Wll Be Here to Talk up Humter County. Amcrlcus, June 16.—(Special.)—Tho fruit crop in tills section Is by fur the best since 1800, especially tho fruit crop. Small shipments are being made hero every day and the returns are good. The apple crop Is exceedingly good and plentiful. Ther are several small orchards loaded down with this fruit and this section will be n a year or two a thorough fruit centre. There are a great many orchards off the railroad In this county and surround ing country that would ship If they bad the opportunities. And Amcrlcus is greatly In need of a canning factory or an evaporator. Either would pay here, as there are hundreds of bushels of fruit that are wasted that should Is; utilized. There are also thousands of lino melons grown In Sumter county that will be on the market by July 1st and lurge shipments are made from this and other points. There Is no doubt that this Is the greatest year for fruit that there has been for a long time. Amerlcus will not be behind In the way of exhibits at the Carnival. Her people will be there, too, all the time to talk the advantages of this section of tho country. MADISON. The Enterprises of Morgan Will Be Stimulated by the Carnival. Madison, June 15.—(Special.)—Mor gan county Is Just entering upon one of the most wonderful fruit seasons In her history. Trees are bending under the precious and delicious burden. The cry of “cherry ripe” Is mingled with "want any Jew be'lcs?" familiar to citizens of every Georgia town—a cry that will yield only ,to a similar one when blackberries are In their ripened glory, as they soon will be. The peach crop In this section will be tremendous, tho plum crop unparal leled and the berry crop will prove a Godsend to the poorer classes through out the county. Morgan is emphatl- cnly a fruit county. As yet only a few of our citizens have experimented be yond the old-tlmu orchard, but some are doing so. Col. DcWnlfe, the Messrs. Muslin, Col. Broughton, Mr. j. C. Itlcliter and others have planted orchards und vlncyurds of from five to fifty acres, and thin year their more sanguine expectations will he realized. In a few years Houston und the oth er great peach counties of south Geor gia will have to lock to their laurels for with Its soil spcclaly adapted to the culture of the peuch and Its brac ing climate, Morgan produces a very superior article and enterprise alor.o is lacking. Tills will be stimulated by tho carni val, to Whleh our people arc looking forward with great Interest and which they will attend In large numbers to pick up a few dots on peach culture.
