Special to The Herald. ATLANTA, Ga.—lndications now are that a large proportion of the peach crop in the Georgia territory will be sold f.o.b. that is, on the track, and at prices larger than ever before received for such shipments in the history of the industry. Advices received by the Georgia Fruit Exchange here say that the large commission houses in the north and east are sending representatives into the fruit belt for f.o.b. purchases. Prices so far offered range from SI.OO to $1.25 net per crate, and are finding few acceptances at this figure. The sentiment is that, under the new plan of handling the shipments as adopted by the growers in the Fruit Exchange, the prices will go to at least $1.50 net per crate, and it is the opinion that growers who accept any less at this stage will do so at a loss to themselves. The f.o.b. plan was never as popular as now. Commission houses appre ciate the value of protected markets and system in shipping, and it is be lieved will offer large enough prices to recoup the growers for their pre vious losses. While the crop will not be as large as last year, it is be lieved it will bring a larger cash price. The executive committee will meet here next Wednesday, at which time all the organization machinnery will be oompleted, preparatory to begin ning the shipping season about June Ist. Contracts with the commission houses in the smaller markets will be ratified, as will also contracts with the Exchange’s agents in the markets and at the shipping points in the Georgia territory. Schedules with the railroads will also be ratified at this meeting. Every detail will be com pleted for the shipping season. Estimates of the crop still stand a 3,000 to 3,500 cars, or from 50 to 55 per cent of last year’s yield. President Bagley, of the Exchange, was at Bamesville last week, con ferring with some of the leading growers in that territory. Manager I. M. Fleming, who has been in the west for the pa6t two days in the in terests of the Exchange, returned to Atlanta today. Work is being rapidly pushed to get everything in readiness for the shipping season, which begins with the Carmans the latter part of May or the first of June. m* * WWW* 912 Broad The accompanying picture, by Forsythe, shows the striking contrast of the strides of Longboat, America’s premier Marathon runner and Henri St. Yves, the remarkable Frenchman who won Satur day’s great international race.
