‘ FORT VALLEY, April 23—-The
’nr«w-m indications are that the peach
‘rop for the ensuing yvear will be one
f the most profitable ever grown,
While it is admitted by practically
ull of the growers In this immediate
snd surrounding section that the crop
of this year will not be unusually
large, the return is expected by all
*0 be greater than that of any other
year. The reason for this is that all
fruits are bringing unusually high
vrices,
While it is a fact the growers have
never failed to get what is consid
ered a good price for their fruit since
the organization of the Georgia Fruit
Exchange, they are expecting an ex
traordinarily good price this year,
Another thing that indicates the
prices are going to be higher thig
year than ever before is that even
thig early abnormally high prices are
being paid for the fruit; same being
bought by the basket and crate on
delivery. As high as $2 has been
pald per crate for fruit on contract,
This means that the grower who
sold his fruit at this price will re
celve this amount for every crate he
packs and will not have to pay any
storage, icing or commission charges,
This is an unusual price for
peaches f. o, b. Fort Valley, as it
takes some money to get the fruit in
iced cars, to have it transported to Its
destination and, last of all but not the
least of all, the produce man has to
have his pay for disposing of the
fruit. This means that these peaches
will have to bring between $3 and $4
for the speculator to make anything.
This price was paid by a Northern
commission man and it is reasonable
to suppose that he would not be pay
ing such unusually high prices for
frult unless he was going to benefit
by the deal. Everything seems to
have a tendency toward a very prof
itable crop this yeur, which is needed
by the farmers on account of cotton
conditions.
There is always some uneasiness
as to the safety of the peach crop
through the winter and spring
months. 8o far the crop has not been
injured to any extent, and the grow
ers are confldent that it will not be
injured. The uneasiness continues
until after Easter, but as a general
thing all the growers feel safe after
this date has passed. Last vear the
first peaches were shipped at an un
usually early date, but this year the
first will probably leave here at the
usual time. There will not be quite
as many cars shipped during June of
this year as last year, for the reason
that the crop as a whole is much
later, which 1s of benefit to the grow
ers. There will be plenty of labor,
and the handling of the crop will be
done smoothly, as 18 always the case.
Ordinance Needed Here
To Compel Grand Opera
Stars to Arise by Noon
By O. B. KEELER. |
One feature of the old days, when
the Atlanta opera season was pard
doxieally young, should be restored by
a municipal ordinance, ynless it can
be arranged in some other way.
I mean the former disposition to
get up in the morning, any time berore
noon being regarded as matutinal,
which used to be shown by the sing
ers. They used to get up some time
before noon, and come down to the
front veranda of the Terrace, and sit
around or hop about and play in the
sunshine, according as the spirit
moved them or remained quiescent.
But there was always something to
see and some singers to talk to and
photograph. That sort of thing.
These days they don't get up until
2 bells or thereabout, and then they
are occupied with birdseed or what
ever songbirds train on, and with the

Billy's arrival at the Terrace from a

signal for a. wave of enthusiasm, near

Billy was discovered advancing on
the Terrace by degrees in flannel

But Atlanta girls who have visions

but is not everything. With all Miss
Ponselle's buutn of voice and ability
in acting, she has many a year of
very hard work before her if she
would become a thoroughly accom

politan, So far, she has sung only a
few roles, and the dependable prima
aonna must have at her finger tips
every line, every note, every bit of
“stage business” of more than a score
of roles. For instance, Johanna Gad
ski, who was equally at home in Ger
man and Italian opera, could sing at
a momenl'u notice almost anything
from Leonora in “Trovatore" to the
llebestod in “I'ristan una Isolde” Ca
ruso has in the back of his mind
every phrase of all the great tenor
roles,
Put all these will come to Rosa
Ponselle with years and hard work,
'uud she says she is ready to pay the
price. And in the meantime she has
something for which many a great
soprano would exchange all her
knowledge--a voice that is as fresh
and searing as a lark's. For it is only
in “Faust” that one regains by magie
one's lost youth-—and it isn't the so
prano then!

aged by the collapse of the flivver
after all, but was ailing otherwise.
Billy had been using a singularly
pungent liniment, for which he apolo
gized, adding a word of advice. It
seems the liniment, wether efficacious
or not, is of high voltage when com
bined with too much frequency. Billy's
advice might be compressed into the
single word, “Don’t”" eTHereafter he
discussed the career of Madame
Galli-Curef, the defections of Frieda
Hempel, the time Caruso could have
been had at 40 pun’ a week, the ad
visability of smoking stogies with

Praise of Galli-Curci
“The world's reigning mistress of
bel canto,” is the verdict of one of
the leading New York critics on
Amelita Galli-Curci, who sings in
concert at the Auditorium next
Monday night. As “bel canto”
means “beautiful singing,” praise
hardly could go further.
The verdict is approved by the
stars of the Metropolitan Opera
Company in Atlanta this week, for
they have been discussing with in
terest the approaching concert, with
the remark that Atlanta, which
likes the “big numbers” of opera
so well, will go wild over Galli-
Curei’s singing of the famous “Pearl
of Brazil” aria and the “Shadow
Song"” from “Dinorah.”
“But she is just as great in the
simple little ballads,” said one of
the tenors. “In fact, T believe she
is even more wonderful in these
than in the fireworks which have
made her famous.”
