PEACH GROWERS
TO UMU TREES
MACON, Ga., Dec. 12,?De
struction of 2,000,000 peaah trees
in Georgia as a drastic step to
prevent overcrowding and over'
lapping of markets was recom- j
mended by a special committee of
the Georgia Peach Growers' As
sociation, which mat here Saturday.'
The committee estimated that the |
1927 peach crop would bo un-l
prccedented in size and vastly'
larger than that of 1926, when an
oversupply was produced.
The committee's suggested plan
divides the peach belt into two
sections with Macon as the center.
North of that city all trees of the
Carmen variety are to be destroy
cd. South of the line, all of the
Georgia Belies arc to be uprooted,
according to the plan. There ore
approximately 900,000 of the
former and 1,1000,000 of the latter.
The two varieties were selected
for destruction because they over
lay in harvest timo other finer and
more popular varieties. It also is
estimated that by the exclusive
destruction of these kinds of trees,
no hardship will be worked on any
one peach grower, since these tree$
form approximately 112 of the
average orchard.
The committee estimated that
there will be 14,000,000 paach
trees bearing in Georgia in 1927,
as compared to 11,000,000 in 1926.
At the general meeting of the
Peach Growers' Association in
November, this committee was ap
pointed and given much power to
work out a plan to prevent glut
ting tho market. It was decided to
force the recalcitrant grower I o
ibide by its decisions through the
co-opcration of shippers and buy
ers who will refuse to handle the
prescribed varieties.
The committee ineladed W. C.
Bewley, former head of the asso
ciation , as chairman, and Albert
f. Evans, the largest peach grower
in the South.?Macon Telegraph.
