SOMETHING ROTTEN
There is something very radi
cally wrong when select Georgia
Elberta peaches “go begging.”
The recent slump in prices, said
to be the lowest in years, is caus
ing many growers to even aban
don harvesting of the crop where
the bulk of the fruit is small.
There appears to be no appar
ent reason for the low prices. On
the contrary, prices should be
better than in years. It is non
sensical to talk of “glutted mar
kets,” when army cantonments
arc buying peaches in unprece
dented quantities.
State Commissioner of Agri
culture Tom Linder attributes
the prevailing 1 o w prices to
drought conditions which delay
ed Georgia’s crop maturity thirty
days and thus hitting the market
simultaneously with a heavy crop
from the Carolinas and Arkansas.
Even if those conditions are
true, there still doesn’t appear
any reason why Georgia Elberta
peaches should “go begging” at
less than a dollar a bushel.
Something is very radically
wrong.
It is charged in Marshallville,
where the Elberta peach w a s
first developed, that peach grow
ers are “victimized by a scheme
of poor distribution perpetrated
in all the market centers.” The
question was asked: “Could it
be possible that the so-called
glutted market is the result of
unscrupulous parties buying up
these peaches and placing them
on cold storage for future use?”
The News, along with scores
of other Georgia newspapers, is
vitally concerned with the set
back given this lucious product.
We reiterate: something is rot
ten in Denmark.” There is no
excuse for this most delectable
fruit of all to go “begging” in
the marts of these United States.
Something is wrong- somewhere.
The low prices, however, should
be a boon to thrifty housewives
who should welcome the oppor
tunity to can or preserve the
fruit for future use. Some house
wives, however, seem to prefer
stocking the pantry with Cali
fornia canned peaches bought
from some super-market.
Some of these days, Georgia
growers of peaches, watermelons,
pecans and other products are
going to find out how Cahlorm..
manages so successfully to mar
ket its products through co
operative organizations A n d
why Georgians fail. There is
some reason for it.
Diamond Brand is now stamp
ed on every English walnut pro
duced in California marketed co
operatively. They are national
ly advertised. The same is true
of Sunkist lemons, prunes, rais
ins and nearly every other pro
duct raised in that state. Jt ap
pears that Californians h a v e
learned the secret of co-opera
tive co-operation. So well have
the publicity bureaus of that
state handled affairs that the
average housewife over the
length and breadth of America
know Sunkist lemons. Diamond
brand walnuts as well as they
know Ivory soap.
Georgia has been struggling
for years with inadequate mar
keting facilities, and unless the
growers get together in a more
united front than ever, it may
be a long time before fruit grow
ing in the state will ever prove
profitable.—Dawson News.
More Beer Touay
More beer is consumed at the
present time in the United States
than before the prohibition periW.
Freight Transportation
The average tonnage of freight
transported per train in 1939 was
approximately 14 per cent greater
than in 1920.
‘Read Bible' Vermct
Charged and countercharged with
disorderly conduct as the result of
a backfence row, two Tulsa house
wives were sentenced to read the
Sermon on the Mount. “I am con
tinuing the case pending your good
behavior,” he told them. ‘‘Go home
and get your Bibles.” t
