THE JUNE MEETING AT DovER-THE
PROCEEDINGS.
The regular June meeting of the Pc
ninsula Fruit Growers Association was
held in Dover, yesterday, Serach F.
Sballcross, Esq, of Odessa, presiding.
The meeting discussed the repay
mcnt of the $500 tax by the p, w. s.
B. II. r., but took no definite action
on the subject.
The Neutrality-suspicious. were adop-
ted:
Resotoed, That it is the opinion of
this meeting that the whole crop of
peaches on the peninsula, from present
indications, will reach 5000, 600 bas-
kets, and that the number of baskets
10 be shipped by railroad will proba-
bly, reach 100000.
Resotoed, That in view of the pros
pective enormous crop of peaches on
| the peninsula, it is the opinion of this
meeting that the freight should be re-
duced by railroad, new markets reach
ed, and growers ship only their best
fruit.
In making an estimate of the crop
for for 1875, general interchange of
views took place, place, and it was Fl.
nally agreed that, judging from present
appearances, not less than 6,OOO, COO of
baskets would be gathered 4 ZOO, 900 of
which, it was probable, would be tran
sported by rail and 1000, 600 by water.
In view Of the prospect of large crop
resolution was adopted to the effect
chat freight should be largely reduc-
ed, new markets opened, and none but
choice fruit shipded."
Messrs. G. w. Cummins, E. X. Coch
ran and j. X. Williams were appointed
a committee to confer with President
Hinekley, of the p, w. & B. r. R.,
and ascertain what arrangements are
being made for moving the present
crop, and what reduction can be OBJ
tanned. Ihe committee on new routes
reported to the association propositions
from the Pennsylvania, the Hartford
& Boston and the Reading Railroadsas
to rates for the shipment of fruit to the
mountain and lake cities, which were
discussed, and a meeting arranged for
July 13 for the further consideration
of the propositions.
The meeting then adjourned.
A talk with the growers after the ad-
Ijournment develops the presence of
great fear that the enormity of the crop
Unprecedented in the history Of the
business, some of the growers even
lplacing the figures higher than the es-
innate of the convention, will be as
disastrous as an utter failure, and they
are disposed to be discouragedan and talk
of roofing up all their trees. Many of
tine more energetic, however, are max
ing every effort to open new routes to
the mountains and lakes, and contend
that the failure of the crop in the
North and West will make such points
profitable. They are especially desir-
GUS that through route to Boston,
without resbipment at New York, may
be arranged, and are bending ali their
energies in that direction. The r. w.
& B. r. II. are making preparations on
the most extensive scale for the ship
ment of the immense crop of fruit and
are putting down hundreds of thous-
aHdS of yards of new siding track and
building new cars at the rate of two a
day.
