BETTER PEACH CROP
IS PREDICTED FOR
GEORGIA NEXT YEAR
ATLANTA, Oct. S.—(GPS.)—Th
outlook for Georgi's pecan industry ap
pears brighteer than it has in a lotg
time. A banner year is seen for the
peach growers of the state in 1940.
This prediction was made following a
trip through Georgia’s newest and larg
est peach belt, which extends across thq
Pine Mountain Ridge through Coweta,
Meriwether, Upson, Lamar, Jasper, New
ton and Morgan Counties. From thia
section alone a $1,2275,000 peach
is estimated. The amount is based on
1,2275,000 trees producing '2,500 car
loads of No. 1 peaches.
The 1940 estimated crop is based on a
survey conducted by H. S. Young, of
Atlanta, general freight agent of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Coast Railroad,
in charge of agriculture extension of his
road; H. L. Alsobrook, of LaGrange, ag
ricultural and market agent of the A.
B. and C. Railroad and an Atlanta news
paperman.
The peach territory served by the
railroad’s Birmingham division extern])
from Senoia through Gay, Woodbury and.
Warm Springs to Manchester. Most of
this territory is located in Meriwether
County, which is said now to be the
largest peach growing county in the
state. .
In this territory are approximately
1,000,000 peach trees four years or older
now bearing fruit. In 1940, with favor
able weather conditions, these trees
should produce between 1.800 and 2,000
caloads of No. 1 peaches, with an ap
proximate value to growers of $1,000,000.'
There also are approximately 71.000,
trees from one to three years old, some
of which should bear next year. Be
tween 40.000 and 500.000 new trees will,
be planted this year. By comparison,,
in 1936. the lart normal peach year.j
hr rail in this territory and. with tbej
1.147 carloads of peaches were shipped,
new trees planted since then. 1940’s crop ’
is estimated } at close to 2.000 carloads.
TAX FIGURES TELL STORY.
One of the stock arguments in favor of ,
punitive taxation against chain stores, is J
the contention that they don’t pay their i
fair .share, of taxes. Generally that i
Claim is based on the assumption that ,
due to a high rate of stock turnover and 1
consequent lower inventories, they have ,
■n espetiai advantage in personal prop i i

1 erty tax assessments.
An exhaustive survey by the National
Tax Association as to the real and per
onal property taxes paid by chains and
independents in nine western states
showed coriclusively that in the regions
covered, the chains paid more than the
independents, per 1.000 feet of floor
space. Percentages in favor of th
chains ranged all the way from 1.6 per
cent, in California, to 52.2 per cent, m
[Utah. In other words, California chains
paid $l2B in taxes for each 1,000 feet
of floor space, while the independents
paid $126. In Utah, the figures were
$285.54 for the chains and only $187.54
for the independents.
A quetionnaire was mailed to tax as
sessors. asking: (1) Are chain stores in
your county filing assessments on a fair
and equitable basis, or are they receiv
ing any advantages in assessments? (2)
Do chain stores enjoy advantage not
available to other taxpayers?
Replies were received from 238
county assessors in seven states. Two
hundred thirty answered that chaiins
were fair and honest in making tax re
turns- —none thought that chains enjoy
an advantage not available to other
taxpayers! Such fa'cts are indispensa'bl
to an intelligent discussion of modern I
merchandising methods. ) |
