The Griffin Daily Nelrs in a very timely arti-
Gle on the proper handling OF the fruit crop Of
Georgia, ssys. 'Iti now apparent that the en-
tire peach crop OF Georgia cannot be marketed
probably. Thousands Of bushels have been
sold az the most profitable figures and very
much more will be sold As the carving IA
ci tiles are improved year after year, ana new
and ampler markets are reached at Chez per
rates. a longer and larger proportion Cf the
fruit can be retaied from the fruit stands.
W lille there Is q glut OF Georgia peaches in one
market there are SC res Of other markets in
which they would bring fancy prices If they
could only be had. We shall, therefore. con-
tinue to insist on the railroads and carrying
companies giving better facilities. and il we
can only see as much accomplished

/ lem % transporting fruit viii have been nearly
solved In the meantime II is important
that the present crop shall be fully utilized If
lt cannot be marketed as green fruit, il should
be canned or dried In either Of these shapes

prices IS dried fruit or canned, il can be
shipped at the lowest freight rates, and il there

fruit year, over $1,000 of good money went in
to Griffin alone for dried ftuit. That plucky
httle city should get not less than 100000 for
dried peaches this year. Georgia is less than
1. miles from the centre of population Of the
country. and il Is folly TO say that in one shape
or other, We cennOt market prOfitably our fruit
crop. California is over 3,0O miles from the
centre OF population. and yet she realizes more
from her fruit crop than she does from her
